WHEN BILL MAHER IS THE VOICE OF SANITY: Bill Maher Destroys the Left Over 9/11, and It’s Brilliant.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, I LANDED IN PHILADELPHIA ON ONE OF THE LAST FLIGHTS BEFORE AMERICA’S SKIES WENT SILENT ON 9/11. Weeks later, I started at FIRE and learned how quickly fear can turn into pressure to abandon free speech principles. This is what 9/11 taught me about defending free speech.
SHOCKER:
White liberals remain the only segment of society that prefers other races to their own https://t.co/VNppxSzxcC

JAMES LILEKS: Remember 9/12, Too.
Fury. Not everyone was mad. Right away, the usual scolds flooded message boards — the social media of the day — to caution against overreaction, to remind us that we had sinned against the world, and this was a time for self-reflection. Ever wondered why they hate us? The flame-America-first cohort was already looking at flying flags and getting the cringey ick, as we might say today. That was to be expected. Even to this day, if you tell a leftist to say “9/11 was bad” without adding “but,” it’s like giving somebody shave-and-a-haircut without the “two bits.” They squirm in the discomfort of incompleteness.
On the other side, though, quiet grim resolve. End this. On 9/12, you wondered what was coming, and maybe you thought: all of it. All of it is coming. B-52s over Tehran in 24 hours, surely. Saddam’s house goes up. MOABs generously distributed over Afghanistan. Basically, anyone who cheered on 9/11 gets the business. All scores settled. No more dropping expensive ordnance on tents or sending in a Tomahawk to blow up an aspirin factory. No more sending a message. Oh, sure, maybe Iran wasn’t specifically involved, but if one head of the Hydra bites you, whack ’em all off to make sure it doesn’t happen again. After Pearl Harbor, what did we do? Send in the Doolittle Raid, then call it a day?
Instead, as Lee Smith wrote on Friday, today, it’s as if “9/11 Never Happened.” “[T]he GWOT was a U.S. government initiative deploying enormous human, military, and other material resources to shape current-day reality after a fantasy crafted by progressive Middle East academics, Muslim apologists, and idealistic neoconservatives working inside the administration, along with spokesmen for the states and terror groups aiming their guns at Americans. Agreeing on little else, together these ideological cohorts promoted an ideological fantasy: a culturally rich and politically sophisticated Middle East, like the convivencia of medieval Andalusia, where majority-Muslim polities lived in peaceful and tolerant coexistence with their Christian and Jewish neighbors. America’s post-9/11 mission was the war to restore ‘moderate Islam’—something that had never existed in the first place.”
CANADA ENTERING THE DOOM LOOP?
Here in the States we are aware not all Canadians are dicks. The polling plus stadiumsful of boos just seems to indicate most are.
We’re concerned about the plight of Canadians. It doesn’t serve our interests to have an impoverished third world nation beholden to the PRC on our… https://t.co/24eJ616ic3
