The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.
This effort to reshape the American psyche has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year's election campaign. The president signed into law a measure in April that designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service, but it's not likely many lawmakers thought this meant that day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing.
The administration's plans were outlined in an Aug. 11 White House-sponsored teleconference call run by Obama ally Lennox Yearwood, president of the Hip Hop Caucus, and Liv Havstad, the group's senior vice president of strategic partnerships and programs.
Yearwood, who uses the honorific "Reverend" before his name, has been in the news in recent years, usually for getting arrested. After Democrats took back Congress, the rowdy activist was handcuffed outside a congressional hearing in September 2007 when Gen. David Petraeus was to testify. Yearwood told the "Democracy Now" radio program that he wanted to attend the hearing to hear Petraeus give his report. "I knew that when officers lie, soldiers die," he said.

On September 12, 2007, the ANSWER Coalition presented a Press Conference at which it announced its plans for the massive September 15th Mass March and Die-In to be held in Washington, D.C. One of the speakers at the conference was the Rev. Lennox Yearwood. He was introduced by Brian Becker of the ANSWER Coalition. Rev. Yearwood is the CEO and President, Hip Hop Caucus. On September 10th, he was viciously assaulted by six Capitol Hill cops and sustained serious injuries. He said: "The lights went out for me" for a while when he was being beaten. But that when he came back to the light, he joined the chorus of supporters who were then shouting: "Arrest Bush, not Rev."
The compulsory civic service plan is all part of The Plan - as in “The Plan”, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel’s book laying out what the far Left wants done to this country. Seems the O is just a front man giving the sales pitch; like any good powermonger, Rahm is the #2 who really decides the long-term strategy, tactics, and goals.
The two Islamic Feast days.....EID....spelled backwards are DIE.
FU New York City Council of moonbats.
Anyone check on how said murderer’s release was taken at Syracuse University? a LOT of people on flight 103 were from that school.
...and if you look at what you said then ask "why" ... the real problem appears. The PRESS simply is NOT reporting the news. I'm amazed people aren't turning their anger toward a press that doesn't report this on the day it was signed. We need an anti-press rally somewhere!
That's really bothering me, too.
Seems to be one of the few actual Muslim traditions, as opposed to those instant ones they make up on the spot to justify their behavior: take over a group of people and take all the credit for the achievements of their culture. While forcibly converting them.
You know, I hope the “Jersey Girls” who were hysterical over Bushie get a group enema from the rest of the 9/11 families for promoting guys like Obamanation...my husband barely missed the “incoming” at the Pentagon so I volunteer to administer the enema if noone else will...POSs...
You begin by electing a Republican majority to the House of Repesentatives in November 2011. The House originates impeachment charges. We can do this!
Everything the guy does is a perversion of an American ideal. United We Stand, Divided We Fall is perverted into obeisance to the state. Serve the state.
United We Serve makes me want to puke.
I’m slave to no man or state. Neither will I serve what was instituted to serve me.
On September 11th, we should issue a statement to the effect pf “You are welcome to grovel is you wish sir, but we, the American people, are going to remember the 3,000+ people murdered my Islamist terrorists 8 years ago today.”
A pre-kwanzaa, psuedo holiday???
New September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance Website
we hope to create a lasting and forward-looking legacy — annually rekindling the spirit of service, tolerance, and compassion
It's a day for Americans to pledge their time to service, and to remember the outstanding work and compassion of the many people who formed together in the aftermath of the attacks.
Interesting breakdown...
Makes me wonder what really drove the few abstained votes to go that way...
Seriously! Start asking these guys publicly NOW at the candidate forums that will be starting soon. See if any of them try to RINO out of it; go only for the ones who give solid commitments to do so.
Will Billy Ayers be the guest of honor at the parade?
It just figures kay hutchinson is on the aye list
