I am not kidding here folks.

This is STRAIGHT out of the Cuban Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDRs), which they also replicated in Sandinista Nicaragua, and Bolivarian Venezuela.

Exactly the same tactics. And on 9-11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah it is pretty unbelievable. So there is no national program to officially honor and recognize those who lost their lives and those who saved others on 9/11. Just this green the block crap?! Wow :(

9/11 we remember. Some of us meant it when we said we’ll never forget. 9/12 we move forward.

As a matter of fact I still have the flag on my car antenna.

Sorry for the graphic comment but I can barely contain myself over this.

I understand completely! I think of the lives lost and the loved ones still trying to cope with that loss and this bozo and his cronies come along and dance on their graves.

Our country is too good for them and we need to get them the h*ll out!

Last one out turns off the lights.

Below are examples of events listed at Green the Block for this Friday, September 11, 2009...
See also, from wikipedia.org:

The color green has a special place in Islam.

It is used in the decoration of mosques, the bindings of Qur'ans, the silken covers for the graves of Sufi saints, and in the flags of various Muslim countries. Green has been associated with Islam for many centuries. It is not clear why this is so.

Some say green was Muhammad’s favorite color and that he wore a green cloak and turban. Others believe that it symbolizes nature and life, hence the physical manifestation of God.

In the Qur'an (Surah 76:21 http://www.openburhan.net/ob.php?sid=76&vid=21 ), it is said that the inhabitants of paradise will wear green garments of fine silk. While the reference to the Qur'an is verifiable, it is not clear if other explanations are reliable or mere folklore.

Regardless of its origins, the color green has been considered especially Islamic for centuries.

Dumpster Diving—he just wants to see how far the New Recruits are willing to go to lick his shoes.
3 generations of family and education deprivation is finally paying off for the entrenched commies.

Not as long as there's still one person willing to stand up and yell, "YOU LIE!"

Monday He gave a Speech to his union boys, Tuesday he speaks to Our Children. Today he speaks to Everybody who will listen. Now Green day in place of Memorial. Mr. Wilson still called Him a Liar, and Saturday is the Tea Party.
