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.

Normal people are busy enough and the democrat base is too lazy to get out of bed. I doubt anyone cares about Obomas "service."
I can understand the democrat base being asked to do something for their keep, but I think everyone else has already done more than their fair share.
Here is the summary of who is responsible for sending this abomination to Obama. He bears the ultimate responsibility for signing it (and, of course, not discouraging it along the way), but we should all know who sent it.
The counts lead to the detailed voting information for each category.

Work our tails off to put conservatives in charge of both houses of Congress.
They’ll flip out over this the same as they did over Obamacare. But first they need to be told about it.
I go further.
Zero is an incompetent, whiny, race-baiting boob who hasn't had an original thought, maybe ever.
All of our problems - ALL OF THEM - are the fault of Congress, the universal franchise, and electoral corruption.
Reform proposals need to go well beyond term limits, IMO.
The American media are too busy fellating Zerobama to bother reporting any news.
The only thing Zippy worships is himself but he is definitely a muzzie sympathizer. He picked that up during his formative years in Indonesia and can never get Islam completely out of his system.
It’s a bit like the old Catholic formula of “get them while they’re young” and they’ll always be Catholic at heart. What we learn in our early years becomes a part of our persona.
Too bad not enough of us realized before the election that Hussein would act this way once in office.
“This POS can not leave office soon enough.... “
He needs to shown the door....
Not sure how but we can’t stand 4 years of this crap.....
The sooner the better.
Let’s see how many acts of service Hussein and Michelle do on Martha’s Vineyard.
I think we all need to start calling our Congressional reps and demanding impeachment proceedings.
I see KBH voted yes. I want to know why Louie Gohmert abstained!
I sent this story to Glenn Beck.
Never underestimate Obama.He just ALLOWED the murderer of the flight 103 passengers to go free.Think what this did to the victims’ families and friends.
Every day, his true self emerges.
He is a muzzy mole and is trying to destroy this country.
There are already protests scheduled for 9/12. Ozero is really trying to start riots.
Ok so I guess the supposed outrage at the Lockerbie Terrorist being released was a fake. IF we had any real reporters they would drill this question to the chief propogadist.
I have a question. IS there anyone in this Administration that Loves America? Why do they continue to go along with this nightmare. Either they are ignorant or they are malevolent.
Where are the resignations. Or are they collecting material for a giant book deal?

Of this National Day of Service, Jones says little except that it will be a great opportunity "for people to connect, to find other people in your peer group who are also passionate about ... greening up America ... "
Putting on my tinfoil hat (birther, Manchurian candidate tinfoil hat), think about the following:
Green is the color of Islam. In that context, the 9/11 attacks were an attempt to "green up America".
This is asinine. If we want some action related to 9/11, then that action should be about vigilance and preparedness. If we want to honor a group of people, it should be a day to recognize first responders.
The New York City Council June 30 called on Mayor Bloomberg to add Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to the New York Public School calendar. The non-binding council vote, Resolution 1281, passed with only councilmember G. Oliver Koppel opposing, urges the schools be closed to celebrate the two Islamic feast days. The vote comes as the culmination of a three-years lobbying effort by New York Islamist groups and what supporters such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations describe as over 80 Labor and Community Organizations.
