We Want To Remember

Remember.

To consider for more than a moment allowing the construction of the Ground Zero Mosque is indicative of the misdirection our great country is headed.
When those that still love America and all she stands for look at this area now dubbed "Ground Zero" we want to remember what happened on 911. A mosque built, even in the shadows of Ground Zero will deflect our attention and dull our memories.
You must understand that we want to remember.
We want to remember what we saw that day as we stood on the streets or huddled around our televisions.
We want to remember the sounds we heard; the sirens, the explosions, the screams for help.
We want to remember the smells that filled the air. Smells that come from flaming jet fuel, smells that come from burning buildings, smells that come from a fright that can not be described.
We want to remember the hero's that came.
We want to remember the hero's that fought.
We want to remember the hero's that died.
We want to remember 3000 faces that because of the hatred of others lost their lives.

Our great nation was founded on principals that include the freedom to worship what ever god you want to. Our founding fathers knew one God, and yet because of their love for a new nation, allowed others to worship their own god. These principals were built around tolerance and understanding. They were built with memories of a coercive government still fresh in their minds. They were built with purpose, built with intent on creating the greatest nation ever known. A nation where one can work and save to buy land and build their own dreams upon it.

But as for this mosque-not here, not now, not ever.

You see we want to remember. We want to remember that on September 11, 2001, we saw the face of evil. By recognizing evil it becomes easier to recognize good, to recognize God.

Build you mosque, worship your god...somewhere else.
