Townhall Review | Conservative Commentary On Today... - Seth Leibsohn: 9/11 Lessons We Did Not Learn

After commemorating the 25th anniversary of 9/11, let’s remember the adage: when you lose something, do not lose the lesson.  Did we learn the lessons of 9/11? Those lessons include understanding the difference between good and evil, and never to confuse the two—calling evil good or good evil.  That has not been learned. There are vast networks of terrorists in the world—all who want to destroy America and her allies. Much of the terrorist intellectual mindset now has great support in America, itself. Whether we are speaking of allies of the Muslim Brotherhood on our campuses or in Senate and House races, or in the fulminations of too many political activists, pro-Islamist anti-Americanism is more accepted and embraced in America today than at any other time in our history. The lesson now?  We cannot abandon the courage of our convictions from our other anniversary—that is: 1776.  Those convictions, and the teachings about them, in our schools and in our politics, have never been more needed.  We must do everything in our power to reinfuse them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
