Well, today is Patriots Day, a day set aside to remember the nearly 3000 that perished in those most infamous terrorist attacks that occurred on U.S. soil that fateful morning 12 years ago today.
It's ironic that we have an official holiday with a name such as this when it seems that someone who is a patriot is equated to some type of extremist these days.
It makes some sense, in our politically correct climate, that the name initially considered for this holiday, "Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001," did not make the cut.
Today, The 2 Million Bikers to DC motorcycle rally and ride through our nation's capital went ahead without receiving the permit they applied for.
This ride was organized as a response to the Million Muslim March (now actually being called "The Million American March Against Fear" due to the flack The American Muslim Political Action Committee organizers received over the original name).
My experience tells me that bikers like these are very patriotic supporters of the "American Dream," , the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
I don't think it's a stretch to believe that, though The 2 Million Bikers to DC organization has made statements that they would "never" join the Muslim march, many of the folks on the ride today are veterans that took the oath to defend the Constitution and are of the true American ilk that would still put their lives on the line to defend the rights afforded to all, including those we disagree with.
God bless those who are currently putting their lives on the line to defend these ideals. Shame on those appointed over them that would so blatantly misuse them!
I pray that we, the people of the USA hold our government accountable and that our nation repents before the right of 2 million bikers to ride and 1 million Muslims to march peaceably through DC, the rights of all of us, are revoked because of a government that renders itself illegitimate by going against the very principles it is founded upon!
So, on this Patriots Day, I call on patriots everywhere to remember the 9-11 victims and those who have fallen in "The War On Terror" while we repent and pray that our nation's leaders redirect our course ¬while we raise our voices to demand a return to our tradition of liberty as laid down by our Founding Fathers and paid for by the blood our patriotic forebears¬ and repent for any misuse of power amassed by this great nation!
