What a strange world we live in.\u00a0 When the 9-11 attacks happened all those years ago it was galvanizing.\u00a0 The anger and determination it engendered was monumental.\u00a0 And back then I still believed we were one nation.\u00a0 There were hints that not everyone thought we were the aggrieved party.\u00a0 And there were voices from the millennial generation that were unpatriotic in the extreme.\u00a0 But the great majority of Americans were united in wanting to avenge a great wrong.<\/p>\n
But think about where we are now.\u00a0 Look at what is happening in places like New York, things being done with the explicit approval of the mayor and the rest of the city and state government.\u00a0 New York is actually in worse shape than it was on 9-11-2001.\u00a0 The city is empty.\u00a0 People live in isolation and in fear of each other and of the next wave of violence that will happen whenever the Antifa and BLM terrorists decide it’s time.\u00a0 Business has ground to a halt and anyone who has the economic means is leaving.<\/p>\n
When I think about 9-11 now I just feel numb.\u00a0 All those soldiers fought and were wounded and died to avenge a city that Bill de Blasio is destroying on his own.\u00a0 New York has disgraced itself.\u00a0 They dishonor the flag by kneeling through the anthem and they spit on the police that try to keep them from killing each other.\u00a0 I was born in New York.\u00a0 New York doesn’t exist anymore.\u00a0 It’s just a failed state waiting to completely collapse.\u00a0 It has even managed to delegitimize the solidarity Americans felt for it after 9-11.\u00a0 Now it’s just a place where people are ashamed of the country that went to war to avenge it’s wounds.\u00a0 It breaks my heart to say it but we shouldn’t have bothered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
