Betraying our deadForgetting the vows we made

Eight years ago today, our homeland was attacked by fanatical Muslims inspired by Saudi Arabian bigotry. Three thousand American citizens and residents died.

We resolved that we, the People, would never forget. Then we forgot.

We've learned nothing.

Instead of cracking down on Islamist extremism, we've excused it.

Instead of killing terrorists, we free them.

Instead of relentlessly hunting Islamist madmen, we seek to appease them.

Instead of acknowledging that radical Islam is the problem, we elected a president who blames America, whose idea of freedom is the right for women to suffer in silence behind a veil -- and who counts among his mentors and friends those who damn our country or believe that our own government staged the tragedy of September 11, 2001.

Yes, Hope and Change... is here.

Forget all those that died in the worse attack on America soil ever or those we lost stopping further terrorist attacks, we must offer up service to more socialist Hope and Change.

Next on the liberal agenda is making December 7th take your dog or cat to work day and July 4th a day for not paying those high premiums to the greedy, evil private insurance agents.

We may as well remove the blue and white from Old Glory so it can wave solid red with just a small golden hammer and cycle in the upper left hand corner.

It will make Barack, Michelle, Nancy and Harry so proud. Not to mention Van and Rev Wright, too!

I'm voting as a wise Latino for... an Illegal Alien Get Out Of Jail and Be Made a Citizen/Democrat Voter Pledge of Service to Obama Day!

We've dishonored our dead and whitewashed our enemies. A distinctly unholy alliance between fanatical Islamists abroad and a politically correct "elite" in the US has reduced 9/11 to the status of a non-event, a day for politicians to preen about how little they've done.

That sums it up. But the thing I will really never understand is how this one happened:

Instead of acknowledging that radical Islam is the problem, we elected a president who blames America, whose idea of freedom is the right for women to suffer in silence behind a veil -- and who counts among his mentors and friends those who damn our country or believe that our own government staged the tragedy of September 11, 2001.

I’m sad and sickened that there’s little here to disagree with.

Hussein’s giving a speech at the Pentagon today. What a travesty.

Just a minute. *We* haven’t and don’t do all this crap. *He* has and does all this crap. He, his filthy friends, and his corrupt Congress. We’ll live with it, I pray we’ll survive it, but I for one will *never* accept it.

I'm curious to see if his wife will acommpany him. She was very conspicuously absent at the Ground Zero commemoration last year.
