In the Wall Street Journal today, Dorothy Rabinowitz has an editorial that hammers Ron Paul for what she describes as his consistent history of being one of “the best-known of our homegrown propagandists for our chief enemies in the world.” She gives one example after another of Paul’s statements essentially blaming the United States for the September 11 attacks:
WALL STREET JOURNAL – Dorothy Rabinowitz: Ron Paul’s supporters are sure of one thing: Their candidate has always been consistent—a point Dr. Paul himself has been making with increasing frequency. It’s a thought that comes up with a certain inevitability now in those roundtables on the Republican field. One cable commentator genially instructed us last Friday, “You have to give Paul credit for sticking to his beliefs.”
He was speaking, it’s hardly necessary to say, of a man who holds some noteworthy views in a candidate for the presidency of the United States. One who is the best-known of our homegrown propagandists for our chief enemies in the world. One who has made himself a leading spokesman for, and recycler of, the long and familiar litany of charges that point to the United States as a leading agent of evil and injustice, the militarist victimizer of millions who want only to live in peace.
Hear Dr. Paul on the subject of the 9/11 terror attacks—an event, he assures his audiences, that took place only because of U.S. aggression and military actions. . . . Read More
My guess is that this has very little impact on Ron Paul’s standing in Iowa. His supporters there seem committed to him, without regard, or perhaps because of his Foreign Policy views. Paul seems on track to win in Iowa, and the caucus system will assist in that outcome greatly.
Here is audio of conservative radio host Mark Levin blasting Ron Paul for saying there was “glee” in the George W. Bush Administration following the September 11 Attacks on the United States.
Paul made the comments Thursday night, saying the “glee” was because they wanted to use it as a pretext for invading Iraq:
Levin called the remarks an “outrageous smear,” and said flatly that the remarks show that Ron Paul is “a crackpot.”
Here is video of former President George W. Bush today at the Ground Zero 9/11 10th Anniversary ceremony reading a letter President Abraham Lincoln wrote to a widow who lost five sons during the Civil War.
Here is video (H/T GatewayPundit) of a massive American Flag being unfurled at Ground Zero yesterday in preparations for today’s 10th Anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States. The flag is reportedly the largest free-flying flag in the world.
Here is raw video from today of President Obama and family serving food at a D.C. soup kitchen in observance of “what the spirit of remembering 9/11 is all about.” This continues Obama’s now multi-year push to turn observances of 9/11 into a “day of service.”
Certainly, public service is a good thing. Helping others is a good thing. But there is great value in taking time to reflect on and remember what happened on September 11, 2001, and who it was that attacked America. The United States was attacked by Islamic Jihadists who hate what our nation stands for – freedom and tolerance of other religions besides Islam. The attackers, and those like them, viewed Americans as infidels, and our support of Israel is anathema to them. They desire to destroy any person or nation who stands in the way of radical Islamic domination of the world. These are the realities that many on the Left want to conveniently ignore and forget.
Serving others is admirable, and noble. But failing to face the reality of who attacked our nation – and why – on September 11, 2001, is not.
As we continue to remember the events of September 11, 2001, here is video from Fox News of Anchor Jon Scott’s broadcast on live TV of the South Tower of the World Trade Center being hit – the moment when everyone realized America was actually under attack.
Former President George W. Bush speaks at the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The memorial is dedicated to the 40 passengers and crew who courageously fought back against their hijackers on September 11, 2001. President Bush called it “one of the most courageous acts in U.S. history.”
