You Said You Wouldn't Forget

But You Do Over And Over Again
You said you wouldn't forget — but you do over and over again
You forgot at the Kabul Airport. You forgot who you were and why you were there. You betrayed those Afghanis who put their lives on the line for you and the brave young American soldiers you put in harm's way. &nbs...

You forgot at the Kabul Airport. You forgot who you were and why you were there. You betrayed those Afghanis who put their lives on the line for you and the brave young American soldiers you put in harm's way. You abandoned them by forming common cause with the Taliban, the people who protected Osama bin Laden.
You forgot in northern Afghanistan as six planes still sit on the runway needing approval from the enemy to take off.
You have been humbled by a militia with pickups and Kalashnikovs, a militia without armor, without an air force, and with limited artillery, a militia without satellite capability.
You forgot why you were in Afghanistan in the first place because you are back to square one. The danger that brought you to Afghanistan has resurrected itself. Sure, the Taliban will prevent al-Qaeda and ISIS from reforming, and they have no interlocking relationships. If you believe that, you are as ignorant and senile as President Joseph Biden.
You forgot in your colleges and universities that teach nothing about civic virtue but are mired in a cesspool of accusations characterizing your history as a story of rapacious oppression and exploitation. Their notions of critical thinking are simply an assault on all that is good and decent about your country. Your college and university administrators and their anti-American agendas are the enemy's front-line arsenal in attacking your society.
Your children are no longer taught how to think, but what to think. Guardians of correct thought sit on powerful university committees to enforce not intellectual diversity, but intellectual conformity to an approved anti-American script.
You forgot when you elected Barack Hussein Obama, not once, but twice — a man whose disdain for this country was palpable, a man who thought NASA should emphasize the Muslim's role in space. Obama's sensibilities in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were clearly with the terrorists. And why not? He was a product of an education in an Islamic madrassa.

You forgot, and regrettably, there is no way to remind you. Neither the offenses of those who demean your country nor the debacle in Kabul nor the vicious anti-American agenda of those you entrust with the education of your children reminds you.
For a few days in September of 2001, we remembered what it meant to be an American. We came together. We proudly flew our flag that now embarrasses too many. We basked in the righteousness of patriotism without apologies. But no more.
You forgot. I pray fervently that you do not have to be reminded as you once were.
Comment:
I am not sure all that the left has forgotten. I believe the left does not think free people have a right to exist.
The anger is not at what the Taliban does. It is the Taliban has taken over so much more completely.
What many Americans are really mourning today is the state of our country. But many are also mad and disgusted at the evil hordes that has perverted everything that America stands for.
We should never forget that what once was the greatest fighting force on the face of this planet has been defeated by people who have limited educations, sleep with goats and live in caves.
This has become another postscript to a similar conflict that ended in the same manner 46 years ago.
The Biden admin is more interested in persecuting Americans who refuse the government’s vax than they are about the terrorists who killed 13 American troops in Kabul.
Remember this regime believes the greatest threat to “American Democracy” is White Suprematist Homegrown Terrorists.
Meanwhile the Bai Dung administration is more interested in persecuting Americans who refuse the government’s vaccination mandate than they are about the terrorists who killed 13 American troops in Kabul, or their blunder of killing a man working for Americans and 7 children in his care.
Remember Joey Xi and the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Commies believe that the greatest threat to their brand of “American Democracy” is "White Supremacist Homegrown Terrorists" while they fund and support Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
The Biden admin is more interested in persecuting Americans who refuse the government’s vax than they are about the terrorists who killed 13 American troops in Kabul.
Never forget, but as the author writes, you will.
