The American Spectator

p>President Bush will leave office with perhaps the lowest approval rating since World War II, a colossal injustice testifying to the power of liberal media. Average Americans would do well to send notes of thanks to Mr. Bush while he’s still office, and offer a prayer for our President today as we remember the carnage of seven years ago. Thanks be to God that President Bush had the courage of his convictions and therefore carried out his most fundamental duty, to protect the American people. br> — Jerry Pomeroy br> Sun City, California /p>

The media will never allow the American people to fully appreciate the efforts of the Bush administration to protect us. In fact, most of the media are under self-imposed orders not to show “disturbing” images of the atrocity.

Why? Ask yourself this: which political party — and its presidential standard-bearer — does the unfiltered horror of that day damage most? Which party has consistently put its own interests ahead of national security?

p>People jumping off buildings from eighty stories up, streets littered with body parts and all the other gruesome details don’t jibe with those who believe the war on Islamo-fascist terror is a “law enforcement problem,” that 9/11 was an “American foreign policy failure,” or that the worst actors on the planet are merely a clever phrase or two away from abandoning jihad. br> — Arnold Ahlert br> Boca Raton, Florida /p> p> By chance, I caught some of the “mainstream media” reportage of the 9 / 11 memorial services. To hear some of it, you would not know that evil men did evil deeds. You might be forgiven if you thought some horrible accident had happened. And you might not learn what some who govern this country stood up and did in response. br> — Robert Nowall
