Well - unfortunately, to deny that this date was selected with intent would be denying the truth. 365 days in a year - 52 Saturdays - and the weekend of 9-11 remembrance cannot have been a coincidence. If it was... then that stirs other concerns in my mind.
And I am 100% in favor of such a massive movement on DC and will support it if I can. But come on... the date...
The choice of dates proves that conservatives don’t understand “community organizing”.
If a different weekend had been chosen, and the march is successful, then we add another date to the list of dates associated with freedom.
But, by using the weekend of 9/11, it will go down in history as just another 9/11 remembrance. The message will be drowned out in the annual 9/11 coverage.
In a nation where freedoms are stolen every time Congress meets, a President that is sending us careening down the path to fascism, and an economy that is dying; 9/11 just isn’t that important right now. I’m not saying that we should forget it, but the Tea Party movement is about the more immediate threats to the Republic.
Truth be told, I’m not 100% excited about the date either. The more I think about it though, it makes perfect sense.
The current regime in D.C. has not only forgotten the lives lost on 9-11, they are NOT fulfilling the very responsibilities they have under our constitution. This Government would welcome another September 11. After all, they can’t let a good crisis go to waste.
I for one am not willing to let them forget the constitution or those who’ve died fighting our enemies.
