WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Sunday marked the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by calling on Americans to embrace the nation's character as a people drawn from every corner of the world, from every religion and from every background. He said extremist groups will never be able to defeat the United States.

Obama spoke to hundreds of service members, and relatives and survivors of the attack that occurred at the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the Defense Department's headquarters, killing 184 people. The youngest victim was only 3 years old.

Obama ready to trade our security for a few new voters.

If the new immigrants can put a new roof on or do concrete work, the US Chamber of Commerce is all in...

Bass Turds in Congress, I hate them all.

Thank you.

Famous Presidential Lies Contest

Written by, ‘To The Point News’


LBJ:....None of our boys will die on foreign soil

Nixon:...I am not a crook

GHW Bush:.....Read my lips - No New Taxes

Clinton:......I did not have sex with that woman... Miss Lewinski

Obama:

.I will have the most transparent administration in history.
.The stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs.
.I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.
.The IRS is not targeting anyone.
.It was a spontaneous riot about a movie.
.I will put an end to the type of politics that “breeds division, conflict and cynicism”.
.You didn’t build that!
.I will restore trust in Government.
.The Cambridge cops acted stupidly.
.The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that lands on my desk
.It’s not my red line - it is the world’s red line.
.Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.
.We got back every dime we used to rescue the banks and auto companies, with interest.
.I am not spying on American citizens.
.Obama Care will be good for America.
.You can keep your family doctor.
.Premiums will be lowered by $2500.
.If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan.
.It’s just like shopping at Amazon.
.I knew nothing about “Fast and Furious” gunrunning to Mexican drug cartels.
.I knew nothing about IRS targeting conservative groups.
.I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi.
.I have never known my uncle from Kenya who is in the country illegally and that was arrested and told to leave the country over 20 years ago.
And, I have never lived with that uncle. He finally admitted (12-05-2013) that he DID know his uncle and that he DID live with him.
.If elected I promise not to renew the Patriot Act.
.If elected I will end the war in Iraq and Afghanistan within the 1st 9 months of my term.
.I will close Guantanamo within the first 6 months of my term.
.I will bridge the gap between black and white and between America and other countries.

And the biggest one of all:

.”I, Barrack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.”

I believe we have a winner!

I’m a step ahead of the moron. I not only embrace diversity but practice it everyday with my Sig Sauer 220, 226, 229, 239, Walther PPK/s, Springfield 1911, Kimber 1911 Sub compact and CZ 75B. I love them all the same. Well, on second thought, I prefer my Sig Sauer 229 in 40 for routine carry.

Something is missing on this anniversary. It is the actual defined enemy. Not “terrorist”. That means nothing. It is Wahhabi sect Sunni Islam sponsored by Saudi Arabia. Praise Jesus and Go Donald J. TRUMP.

I watched the the video honoring the 9/11 victims that the NFL aired before the games started today. George W. Bush did the first part and it was great. Such a contrast when Obama started. It went from presidential to un-presidential.

Diversity brought us once - conquered diseases, increased crime, increased violence, increased anti-Americanism, increased welfare, lower standards of living and so forth. Diversity sucks.

Ok...embrace diversity, but diversity sn’t someones skin color or their country of origin. Diversity of ideas is true diversity. If Obama wants diversity embraced how about more conservative professors? How about doing something about the inner city violence and not excusing it? If that’s not reasonable in the eyes of the left, than I want diversity on my NBA and NFL teams. If you want it, then you’ve got to get it all. Uhgg. All this was written with sarcasm, of course. The left always muddles a conversation about ideas by making it a conversation about so callracism.....its lazy and intellectually vapid, but so many people fall for it.

“Diversity” was a by-product of people coming here who yearned to be free. IT WAS NEVER A GOAL...
