On September 11, 2001, we would never have believed 10 years later…

On September 11, 2001, we would never have believed 10 years later…

… the U.S. government would refuse to call the enemy by name.

… the president would be a far-left socialist, pro-Islamic Black man named Barack Hussein Obama.

… the people of the Western world would be divided about making the bad guys pay.

… some high-ranking politicians would question the ‘official story’ of the 9/11 attacks.

… Christianity would be banned in our public schools while special allowances were made for Islamic students.

… the president of the United States would ‘apologize’ to the enemy for being the target of their terror attack.

… the ripples of the attack would cause such widespread disillusionment and polarization with both American political behemoths that a grassroots, back-to-the Constitution movement would be launched in the Tea Party.

… the American people would allow the president to contradict and/or ignore the Constitution at will.

… Canada would replace the U.S. as Israel’s most vocal ally and supporter on the international scene.

… the Canadian Prime Minister would be a Conservative while the U.S. president would be a socialist Democrat,

… the Canadian Prime Minister would have bigger balls than the American President.

… our courts and all levels of government would consider implementing Sharia law.

… it would have become a sin of enormous magnitude to lay blame at the feet of those actually responsible for the terrorist attacks, yet socially acceptable – expected, even – to condemn Christians and Jews to a point beyond religious persecution.

... the ‘official’ 9/11 ceremony would exclude First Responders, creating the need for a separate gathering of remembrance thanks to authentic American patriots like Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer.

…..that a Victory Mosque was to be built at Ground Zero with the mayor and the President’s blessing and with those that oppose it being called un-American

…..that a political party would continually fight for terrorist’s rights while trampling all over the rights of Americans

…..that the American President would be at the forefront of UN efforts to create Islamic blasphemy laws in the West disregarding free speech.

... that the American President would appeal to a small town preacher to not burn a Koran.

If someone in 2001 predicted these things here on FreeRepublic, the term “tin foil hat” would have been used until that person shut up.

... that a candidate running for president would attend a church for 20 years where the reverend would bellow out “God Damn America!” — and this candidate would be elected President of the United States.

This one should be amended to read....

...the U.S. government would refuse to call the radical Islamic enemy by name but demcorat party leaders would smear average America citizens in the peaceful TEA Party by calling them terrorists simply because they want our leaders to respect the Consitution.

don’t forget that Obama says 9-11 is not about terrorism or Al Qeada its to be a day of public service.

......that the GOP “frontrunner” would be a guy who speaks to “La Raza,” “the Race,” who goes to Mexico and calls for an open border, who implements the Dream Act for their state, a Gore and a Giuliani supporter, and that there would be FReepers who call anyone here who objects “extremists,” among other things.

Clearly, we’ve fallen a long way as a people and as a nation.

Perhaps the attacks were successful in their attempt to bring down the United States, after all.

... that the death of Osama bin Laden would not bring millions of Americans celebrating in the streets. Instead it was a political game played (badly) by an inept president trying to stop his free-fall in the polls.

AND....

that American tax dollars would be used to help construct that Victory Mosque.

(I was watching Jon Hunstman last night on Fox. He said the muzzies are getting approval for stimulous funds to help secure construction.)

Ooops. It was Dick Morris who made the point. THEN Hunstman went on. But I think Morris is making news with this....

“…..that a Victory Mosque was to be built at Ground Zero with the mayor and the President’s blessing and with those that oppose it being called un-American”, while a church that was heavily damaged from the attack is still waiting 10 years later for permission to rebuild.

...that the U.S. Government would intentionally arm Mexican smugglers and drug dealers while seeking to repress the Second Amendment rights of American citizens.

...that a U.S. President would use his authority to stifle domestic energy production in nuclear, coal, natural gas, and petroleum.

...that illegal immigrants would receive de facto amnesty from the federal government and even qualify for taxpayer subsidies such as food stamps, in-state tuition, and tax credits.

...that the nanny-state mayor of NYC who succeeded Mayor Rudy Giuliani would ban first responders, clergy, and prayer itself from the tenth year memorial of 9-11 at Ground Zero.

...that the First Lady would squander over $10 million in tax dollars on vacations in a single year, while more than 44 million recession-strapped Americans were using food stamps.
