“Every time she saw a videotape of the planes she moved a finger toward the power button on the remote. Then she kept on watching. The second plane coming out of that ice blue sky, this was the footage that entered the body, that seemed to run beneath her skin, the fleeting sprint that carried lives and histories, theirs and hers, everyone’s, into some distance, out beyond the towers.”
–― Don DeLillo, “Falling Man” (2007).

The terrorists are winning without ever firing a shot or flying another plane. Their intent was to divide and conquer this country. Not a new thought…It’s a technique used by governments and armies for thousands of years. When they found they couldn’t divide us with 9/11 they found another way to do it. They planted seeds of distrust in social media and certain “news” media, and continue to do so to this very minute. They are doing a hell of a job, aren’t they? We don’t have to agree on everything, that wouldn’t be normal. However, what would the people on the Shanksville plane do? You know the answer and so do I. They would work together to defeat the ones that wish to destroy our country and our democracy. I listened to Pres Bush’s speech today, who was saying much the same thing.
If you continue to sow the seeds of distrust that the enemies of our country are throwing out there, you need to re-examine what you are doing. Are you part of the solution or part of the problem?

“Never forgetting, Never learning”?
What a nice tribute to those who died for simply going to work or school on the day of 9/11/2001.
THEY were not war mongers, they were fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, friends, co-workers and neighbors.
Today is about them and those who lost them.

Typically socialist crap from Pierre.

Out of respect for OUR Country and the tragedy of 9.11

Firstly, and always, thank you for FlaglerLive; a gift, and service, of great value. Another donation is on its way.
Do any of the misfits displaying themselves here, who perform such an impressive impersonation of a chimp in a zoo flinging its s— at visitors, ever contribute anything?
Gratitude is one of the greatest Christian virtues; ingratitude, one of the most vicious sins.
