9/11/2021: What's Different?

 I’ve been thinking a lot about what I wanted to say today, 20 years on from the worst terrorist attack on our nation, a year during the worst pandemic in our nation’s history. Should I connect them? Is it worth saying, if it's probably been said already, with interest?

The one commonality in all of it is that indifference is the cause of all of it. Indifference to those who are left suffering the consequences.

20 years ago, we were united in our grief, and for that time, we were all Americans. Why, 20 years later, in the face of another situation resulting in thousands upon thousands of deaths, do we hate each other so much?

Huckabee's Jaws Reference: Revised

A quick note: I very much admire the original article I wrote in 2016, and during Trump's first term, I've wanted to update it with more information. However, I found there to be almost too much content to truly condense into the article and make a complete comparison.

As we head into the 2020 election, though, I decided to make some slight revisions to the article to make it more clear and professional, although the content is largely the same.

On Monday, October 10, 2016, Mike Huckabee made an effort to defend Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump by comparing him to Quint (Robert Shaw) from the 1975 movie Jaws.
 
"He’s vulgar, he’s salty. He might even get drunk. But hold on, here! He’s the guy who’s gonna save your butt and save your family. And so at the end of the day, when he kills the shark, you’re happy about it," he said on the program.
