The Obama Administration announced its objection to including President Roosevelt’s prayer on the World War II Memorial in Washington DC. The Obama White House said the prayer would dilute the message of the memorial.
Todd Starnes reported:
Republican lawmakers and conservative activists are expressing outrage after the Obama administration announced its objection to adding President Franklin Roosevelts D-Day prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The objection was noted during a congressional hearing on Rep. Bill Johnsons (R-OH) bill the World War II Memorial Prayer Act of 2011.
“It is unconscionable that the Obama administration would stand in the way of honoring our nations distinguished World War II veterans, Johnson said. President Roosevelts prayer gave solace, comfort and strength to our nation and our brave warriors as we fought against tyranny and oppression.
Roosevelt asked the nation to join him in prayer as U.S. and allied troops launched the invasion that led to the defeat of Nazi Germany. He asked God to give the allied troops courage and faith, saying, With thy blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy.
But Robert Abbey, the director of the Bureau of Land Management, said any plaque or inscription of the prayer would dilute the memorials central message and therefore should not be altered.
It is not a judgment as to the merit of this new commemoration, simply that altering the Memorial in this way, as proposed in HR 2070, will necessarily dilute this elegant memorials central message and its ability to clearly convey that message to move, educate, and inspire its many visitors, Abbey said in written testimony.
My hatred for obama has moved to those who voted for him and who plan on voting for him again
I’ve felt that way for some time. To hell with them-they are our enemies. I detest them.
Oh yeah, that dilutes the message all right.
I’ve been to the Memorial, and a plaque with that inscription would be perfect by the Wall of Stars. Maybe if FDR’s prayer was to Allah, Obama might like it then.
Can we get this over Zero’s objection?
I disagree. I now openly laugh and mock obama voters at any chance I get. I ridicule and pepper these people w details until they are are forced to concede or meltdown in anger.
Obama voters need to be reminded daily for what they have unleashed.
” piss be upon him”
POO (Piss on Obama) would make a good rallying cry.
I have A jewish Neighbor who in 2008 had a Obama sticker in hebrew on his car. Then after the election it was gone and I thought oh well he is embarresed also. Nope saw his little university teaching volvo with a 2012 sticker with the obama symbol in it. I could spit.. A jewish person voting for the guy that has turned his back on Isreal at every turn. God please let all Jewish liberals burn in hell with all liberals and muslims. They don’t get it. UGH!
I've found that the most die hard BHO supporters would eat his turd and then call you a racist for not joining in. He is the culmination of the hard left's wet dream - socialist, black, anti-American, and anti-White male.
It says so much about where we are right now as a country that this guy polls anywhere higher than 1%. God bless us.
I would mock and ridicule him too. I know a few liberal jews and I never hold back at all at how stupid they are.
All you need to do is uasually ask a few questions and these fools melt down.
One more thing to fix once the Usurper is gone.
I am surprised after three years that this is still newsworthy considering who occupies the wh
He's gotta go!
I feel the same about my fellow “catholics” at church who have obama stickers
I would not expect anything less from the Obama Administration
It is not about you Obama. It is about the men and women that fought and died for freedom for the world. I think a few of them prayed during that time........
I think that means ‘ritual mounting’ by a dominant male dog, performed on a submissive male dog (or other species).
Religion has no place in the Marxists world.
Well this idiot when he first moved into our small court called the Animal control because we left my dog in the garage and she was barking. Then he called her names and brought his grandson to our drive was and was pointing at my dog when she was barking at them.. I believe in civility so i never said anything. Now though I can’t wait to ridicule him. IDIOT. I call him a jino “jew in name only”.
A Prayer to God for Victory and Peace by and for the God-fearing “dilutes the message”? Yeah, that about covers it.
