Today is the days those that claim to "keep us safe" and their quislings and sycophants puff out their chests and loudly proclaim "never forget!". Today is the day we will forever be bombarded by images of the twin towers and the destruction caused there. We will be bombarded online with fervent patriotic memes and proclamations.
Today is the day used to justify dogs sniffing at our vehicles when taking a short ferry ride, TSA agents groping grandmothers and little kids. Today is the day used to justify "the Patriot Act" and all the power it grants the government over virtually every aspect of our lives from banking to travelling and a list of other issues that would fill a small novel.
Today is the day used to justify militarizing our police, and while President Obama has somewhat curtailed that practice you can rest assured the next President will reverse those actions.
Today is the day used to justify grandiose displays of nationalism at sporting events reminiscent of Soviet Union displays nationwide. Today is the day used to justify the "land of the free" being turned into a police state for our "protection".
So never forget America, as if we could, and Happy Police State Day
