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.

Just say NO! Tell them to piss off. They won’t do anything.
I think it would be nice to have some other commemoration. This is such an insult I can barely believe it.
Bambi is apparently going to give a speech on “volunteering” (i.e., his Hitler Youth/Americorps brigades, which he wants to be as well funded as the US Army...).
I feel like I fell asleep in an opium den and I’m waking up and remembering some hallucinations. I wish it were just a dream. I’ve never been in an opium den and I’m not sure they even exist anymore, but you get the general idea...
Its NOT a Laughing or Kidding Matter!!!!!
OBAMA wants to destroy AMERICA! And everyone just lets
him say things like: “AMERICA ISN’T A CHRISTIAN NATION!”
and lets OBOZO KISS the soles of the shoes of The Supreme MULLAH of Saudi Arabia!! The Zero is an Outrageous Snakeoil Saleman!
“Let’s see how many acts of service Hussein and Michelle do on Martha’s Vineyard.”
probably 90 calls for room service
Screw him if he screws with 9/11!
Let him call it whatever he wants. Easter is already Spring Holiday. Christmas is Winter Holiday. We know what they really are. Just as MLK Day is really Robert E Lee’s Birthday for me. He can call 9/11 what he wants, but to me it will always be “Go to the range and practice” Day.
Of course, 11/4, 1/20, and 4/15 are also “Go to the range and practice” Day, so that’s becoming confusing.

How quickly we forget those almost 3,000 innocent Americans who were murdered by the Islamists.
Every American should view this video made by a New Yorker who lived through the attack:

This video has been viewed by millions and is now in the Smithsonian.
It shows the planes crashing into the buildings, there are pictures of many of those who lost their lives, and president Bush’s aftermath speech set to the haunting background music, ‘Only Time’ by Anya. Awesome.

They’ve been complicit. Remember when the media said that playing 9/11 footage was too insensitive?
“Never underestimate Obama.He just ALLOWED the murderer of the flight 103 passengers to go free.”

We did not have the Libyan. That was Scotland.
F’d up by Obama, I am assuming?

Barack Obama regarding the 9/11 jihadi attacks
The New Yorker

July 21, 2008 In one of the “very serious” articles about Mr. Obama, called “Making It,” in the current issue of The New Yorker we are treated to his response to 9/11 as published in the September 19th 2001 edition of the Hyde Park Herald: Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we as a nation draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy. Certain immediate lessons are clear, and we must act upon those lessons decisively. We need to step up security at our airports. We must reexamine the effectiveness of our intelligence networks. And we must be resolute in identifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and dismantling their organizations of destruction.
We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.
We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent. Finally, we will have to devote far more attention to the monumental task of raising the hopes and prospects of embittered children across the globe—children not just in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and within our own shores.
I remember and I was furious. The sad thing is all those New Yorkers voted for him anyway.
BUMP
How did this DUmbass infiltrate the Spectator?
On this occasion, we celebrate the holy month of Ramadan and we also celebrate how much Muslims have enriched Americaand its culture in ways both large and small. These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings." Barack Hussein Obama. .
