The Press Turns a Blind Eye - Lest We Forget – September 11, 2001

On September 11, 2001, our great nation experienced the unthinkable - a vicious attack on both our first capital, New York City as well as our present – Washington DC. Today, a mere 7 years later, there is little or no mention or memorial from a media obsessed with winning an election – something which our founding fathers agonized over when initially granting freedom of the press lo those many years ago – (Reference: The Federalist Papers #84 “From the Federalist Papers: #8, Hamilton


"I go further and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and to the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed Constitution but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and, on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than we granted. Fro why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do Why for instance, should it be said that the liberty of the press shallot be retrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? I will not contend that such a provision would confer a regulating power, but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible pretense for claiming that power.")

Regardless of the politics of the day, or party, ethnicity or gender – it behooves us to remember,(and yes, even pray to God), that all American’s lives were touched on 11-September-2001, lest we forget and find ourselves overly complacent in a world that harbors and fosters individuals and nations who would visit our country with unjustified violence in order to further a twisted politically motivated religion.

Addendum: Apparrently I am up well before the natioanl media updates their on-line editions. Kudo's to those that have taken the time to remember this date. Local editions are still woeful in their coverage: example Springfield, MA Republican
