FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America
Statement of Debra Burlingame, Co-founder of 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America, in Response to President Obama's Remarks about the Ground Zero Mosque
911 Families Stunned Presidents Support of Mosque at Ground Zero
New York, NY, Aug. 14 -- Barack Obama has abandoned America at the place where America's heart was broken nine years ago, and where her true values were on display for all to see. Since that dark day, Americans have been asked to bear the burden of defending those values, again and again and again. Now this president declares that the victims of 9/11 and their families must bear another burden. We must stand silent at the last place in America where 9/11 is still remembered with reverence or risk being called religious bigots.
Muslims have worshipped in New York without incident both before and after the attacks of 9/11. This controversy is not about religious freedom. 9/11 was more than a "deeply traumatic event," it was an act of war. Building a 15-story mosque at Ground Zero is a deliberately provocative act that will precipitate more bloodshed in the name of Allah. Those who continue to target and kill American civilians and U.S. troops will see it as a symbol of their historic progress at the site of their most bloody victory. Demolishing a building that was damaged by wreckage from one of the hijacked planes in order to build a mosque and Islamic Center will further energize those who regard it as a ratification of their violent and divinely ordered mission: the spread of shariah law and its subjugation of all free people, including secular Muslims who come to this country fleeing that medieval ideology, which destroys lives and crushes the human spirit.
We are stunned by the president's willingness to disregard what Americans should be proud of: our enduring generosity to others on 9/11--a day when human decency triumphed over human depravity. On that day, when 3,000 of our fellow human beings were killed in barbaric act of raw religious intolerance unlike this country had ever seen, Americans did not turn outward with hatred or violence, we turned to each other, armed with nothing more than American flags and countless acts of kindness. In a breathtakingly inappropriate setting, the president has chosen to declare our memories of 9/11 obsolete and the sanctity of Ground Zero finished. No one who has lived this history and felt the sting of our country's loss that day can truly believe that putting our families through more wrenching heartache can be an act of peace.
We will honor the memory of our loved ones. We will protect our children, whose lives will never be the same. We will not stand silent.

People followed him blindly, and in the end, they denied to themselves that he was evil, if only to deny that they were part of that evil.
0bama’s followers are cult-like in their devotion.
Very scary!
Obama must go now.
“It will be something that will just happen overnight and will be a fait accompli by the time people find out about it.”

Yes it probably will occur within the wee hours of the morning when most people are sleeping. Or when people are distracted by something else — a major hurricane or something as simple as more Tiger Woods troubles.
This is what Obama and his ilk count on. Distraction, obfuscation. Just do it before anyone knows what hit them.
That’s why we have to be ever vigilant.
He makes me sick.
Will they be stunned again when the mosque is renamed the Bin Laden Mosque?

I can’t believe ANYONE is surprised at his comments. This is exactly how we’d expect him to react; his position has been consistently against the American people.
If it isn't too late already. I'd like this to end without bloodshed, but I can see it disintegrating quickly, if the libtards force us to choose between rebellion or socialism.
I think people who are crazy have a weird self-confidence that overwhelms rational, non-crazy people, and this accounts for their ability to attract sane people even though what they, the crazy, are saying makes no sense whatsoever. Obama certainly has that arrogant self-confidence, and that’s what has enabled him to get this far: he sees himself as above the law and simply proceeds without regard for common reality.
He’s actually more dangerous than Hitler in some ways, because Hitler lacked the “religious” component (although he was trying to create one). Obama, however, is backed by a ruthless quasi-religious cult directed at total political domination, so he doesn’t even have to create his own ideology or his own religion. All he has to do is emerge as its leader in this country, which I think he is preparing to do. And I think his demented self-confidence will make people accept it.
That is why I say that we could very much end up have another revolution in the making down the road.
Yes, that has been the modus operandi in virtually everything he has done.
Our enemies are clearly not his enemies.
Then Thomas Jefferson's words (a warning?) will come to pass again.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure."
Good gad, after the Lockerbie deal, what the heck else were people expecting!?
Post of the Day!
I’d like to know, too!
i don’t see why they’d be “stunned”; he’s turned his back on us all every time. he supports those who would do us harm.
There......I fixed it for you.
It’s not too late. He (and the dem congress) have plenty of time before November to further expose their disdain for American values. They’re not even bothering to hide it anymore. Our “rulers” forget that we have the ability to unseat them from their thrones. They’ll find out in November.
