NO, LIBERALS, THERE IS NO COMPARISON TO BE MADE BETWEEN 9/11 AND 1/6

Sunday was the 21st anniversary of 9/11, and as you would expect Leftists
couldn’t let the anniversary go by without attacking Republicans, or at least
Trump-supporting Republicans.




Lots of idiots on Twitter did so, but the madness wasn’t reserved exclusively
for those who suffer from obvious mental illness. Blue Check Twitter was well
represented, and Mark Warner, a supposedly moderate Senator from Virginia joined
the mania.





Comparing the invasion of the Capitol by protesters on 1/6 bears as much
resemblence to 9/11 as a firecracker does to an atomic bomb. They are just
categorically different. Every American was glued to the TV on 9/11. We cried
together. We mourned together. We came together.

And not just Americans joined in the outrage and the grief. Allies, and even
competitors around the world understood how great an attack on civilization 9/11
was. The entire world, with the exception of some insane Islamists in the Middle
East and elsewhere, reached out to Americans to help us grieve. There was a
world pre-9/11, and a world after.

9/11 is a sacred day for most Americans who were teens or adults on that fateful
day, and crapping all over that in order to make a political point is
disgusting. It is an insult to the victims, to the people who joined us to fight
in Afghanistan. The one and only time Article 5 of Nato was invoked–the article
that states that an attack on one is an attack on all–was after 9/11. Our NATO
allies rallied to our aid in rooting out terrorists because they saw 9/11 as an
act of war.



1/6, in comparison, was an embarrassment, not a threat to America or democracy.

Yet the Left couldn’t let the opportunity to make the comparison, no matter how
inapt.

Tristan Snell, a lawyer and MSNBC contributor with 280 thousand followers went
even further, declaring outright that the January 6th riot was terrorism. MSNBC
long ago gave up its right to be considered a “news” station, but I still am
amazed at how low they can go in order to take a shot at Republicans.





Andrew Wortman, who has nearly 187 thousand followers compared Donald Trump to
bin Laden because he “did the exact same thing” as he by instigating an attack
on America.





Some Leftists believe that the riot of 1/6 was worse than 9/11, because it
somehow threatened the foundation of American democracy. I suppose that if I
believed that people wandering the Capitol in viking helmets threatened our
nation, I might think that too. But you have to be insane to think that the riot
was much more than a temper tantrum by a few hundred people. American democracy
was never at risk.






LeftismForU has a whole thread worth checking out with some of the worst Leftist
takes on 9/11





There is something really sad about the state of affairs in our country when
Ilhan Omar is a relative voice of sanity. But that is where we are:





 

I almost never agree with Omar, but there is not one word of that tweet that
isn’t absolutely appropriate for any American.

Republicans and Democrats are already at each others’ throats. We really don’t
need to go even deeper down the rabbit hole of demonizing our opponents.



Please welcome our new Contributing Editor David Strom, who has been a political
and policy advisor and speechwriter in 3 gubernatorial campaigns, several
Congressional campaigns, and a US Senate campaign. He has also advised numerous
state legislative candidates on policy issues. Over the past 25 years he still
hasn’t figured out that Minnesota is a terrible place to be a conservative.
