Seriously. The number of people who spend the day purporting to get weepy when they are in no way connected to what happened is mind-boggling. They'd do better to spend the day getting weepy over the fact that 9/11 has been used to justify that civil liberties have been radically undermined by our own government, we're killing innocent civilians left and right in foreign countries, and we're basically now living with policy decisions driven by corporate military-industrial and financial interests.

I think the only thing in the article that surprised me was that the flag was actually made in the U.S.

But still made by Mexicans it seems, probably paid as little as the law allows.

This just in, Texas has been part of the United States since 1845, pinche cabron.

You misspelled 1865 there

The response to 9/11 was like punching a stranger because your buddy pissed on your couch.

Well then let me be the first to say happy birthday. Frankly I'd much rather think of today as a random stranger's birthday.

But the past caused the present. The events of 9/11/2001 did no amount of damage comparable to the damage to individual liberty we've done to ourselves since.

9/11 is the day Americans voted to kill liberty and freedom.

Come on, it's a small business founded in Texas. You know they've got to claim to be Republican. What makes you think they'd bother paying minimum wage? What are the "illegals" going to do, go on strike?
