Circa: Last Week

I watched United 93 for the first time seven hours ago and I am still waiting for the shock to subside. The past months have brought memories of September 11th back to the forefront of our collective conscience as we mark five years since that Tuesday morning. In five years a lot has changed and not for the better. The patriotism that was visibly on display and the feeling of a community bound by sorrow in the early days and weeks after has now been replaced with mistrust and an anti-Bush sentiment that is perpetuated by the media and reinforced by a Democratic party that can simply be summed up as mislead. We are a country divided by our basest instinct to be protected from harm and because security has become a platform instead of a responsibility our vulnerabilities have been exploited and our judgment, compromised. Now instead of real issues, we are being subjected to illicit emails sent by Mark Foley and forced to listen to the shrill that belongs to the one and only Nancy Pelosi. Who gives a shit? This is news? No!!!! This is a politically motivated attack by the liberal media propaganda machine to show Republicans as villains and democrats as ‘ethical’. What a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in. How easily the American public is lured into forgetting exactly where it is and where it is headed. How easily we are lulled into complacency by rhetoric and ideology, all we are missing is the definition of is and a blue dress.
