Posted on 09/10/2012 8:20:33 AM PDT by ColdOne

The president orders flags be flown at half staff and calls for a moment of silence and a day of service across the nation.

"On September 11, 2001, a bright autumn day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history. Thousands of innocent men, women, and children perished when mighty towers collapsed in the heart of New York City and wreckage burned in Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon," the proclamation states. "They were family and friends,

“Marking” or “celebrating”?

Nice. Except that, technically, Autumn doesn’t begin until late September.

My flag will be posted tomorrow.

No mention of the attackers, of course.

I’ll be flying my flag tomorrow but i’d also like to display Maj Nidal Hasan’s head on a pike at the front gate of Ft Hood in Texas. But, that’s just me.

Mine, too. And, I’ll be playing at a 9/11 Memorial service in the evening.

...and a day of service across the nation.

Because in all things it is important to remember that we exist to "service" The State.

The second worst attack on the American people in history. The first is the Obama presidency.

Truthfully, Al Qaeda has won. Look at our country and where it is heading. Since 9/11 liberals have doubled-down on the same attitudes and policies that have left Europe victimized by Islamic immigration. Any negative action committed by a Muslim gives the leftists even more reason to be accommodating and forgiving of Islam. It’s yet another reason Obama, against all objective evidence regarding his qualifications and performance as President, gets a huge pass from about 50% of the country.

It should be National Gitmo Inmate Shark Chumming Day, if you ask me...”national day of service.” Pfft. Unless the “service” involves sending a few more jihadists to meet their false moon god in Hell, we don’t need it.

The 911 terrorism attack was an attack on our fanancial security.

Obama is the new Osama as he is doing the exact same thing in order to bring the USA to it’s knees.

Ain’t gonna happen even though he has millions snowed and will probably win the election through voter fraud.

Why have liberals tired to turn Sept. 11th into a day of service?

Community service is fine, of course. The issue is, why don’t we commemorate and remember that day from hell, the events which happened, and learn about the evil which spawned such an attack?

Or to look at another way, what does community service have to do with 9/11??

He only cares on the 9/11 prior to the election.

“when mighty towers collapsed”
Is he speaking allegorically? Sounds like his plan for the whole country.

Gee, of their own volition? I could have sworn his Moslem brethren slammed airplanes into them.

And let's not forget who did this. It wasn't 'radical' muslims' as the newsmeme would have you believe.

The animals that did this were simply following the written commands of their faith. That's why I believe there is no such thing as a 'moderate' or 'radical' muslim.

Rather, you have muslims who are following their faith ('radicals') or muslims who are muslims in name only. Islam is an inherently murderous and seditious belief system that should not be allowed to exist in any form in our country.

Don't you mean Dick Cheney ordered to detonate the explosives planted in the towers?

He’s trying to diffuse the reason the Twin Towers were attacked.

Make it look like they just wanted to kill people and destroy some infrstructure.

Then want to hide the real reason.

Obama took over where Osama left off with the destruction of our financial system.
