9/11 a day of Fear? No, those who arent Moonbats view it as a day when Americans could be proud of their country and how they responded to the terrorist attacks.

From the emergency responders who rushed to help trapped people knowing they would probably die in the process, to the people helping each other in the streets of Manhattan to the Americans who crashed their own plane to prevent it from being used as a terrorist weapon to attack the nations capital, it was day when American stood up against radical Islam jihadists with one voice (except loons like Reverend Wright and his ilk)

This travesty just shows how little the Obamunists understand what America really is. Maybe The One should move to Cuba and take over when Fidel croaks.

"day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing."

Why do, or should, we have to roll over and let this happen? Why can't we use the leftist tactic against them by organizing our own community into one of American pride, and public remembrances that day of those who sacrificed for us -- the civilians from 9/11 and the military since...um, 1776?

It seems September 12th would be a better day to commemorate citizens standing together for each other.

We need to demand that they do this on Labor Day and leave 9/11 the hell alone.

Hopefully, this bastardization of a day of mourning and reflection will inspire immeasurable numbers to go to community gatherings or the March on D.C. on 9/12 to make them understand that we will not go gently into that good statist night.

So 9/11 commemorations are instances of "the right" manipulating the memory of that day into a "day of fear"?

So, by that logic, on every December 7 for 67 years, the nation - instead of honoring those who perished and marking the beginning of a global conflict that saw the US and her allies defeat brutal enemies on two fronts - has been engaged in manipulating the attacks on Pearl Harbor into a "day of fear".

How can any serious person believe such nonsense?

Our COMMANDER AND THIEF wants to dishonor the names and memories of those inocents who died at the WTC He is no honorble man he is a scoundrel and a cad AND EVEN WORSE THEN THAT

When you elect a man who was raised on hating this country and all it stands for, what can you expect???

ACORN, AFL-CIO, Apollo Alliance, Community Action Partnership, Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, 80 Million Strong for Young American Jobs, Friends of the Earth, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Mobilize.org, National Black Police Association, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, National Council of Negro Women, National Wildlife Federation, RainbowPUSH Coalition, Urban League, and Young Democrats of America.

Looks like a roll call of organizations that need to be investigated for Red infestation.

I nominate 9/11 as National Spit-On-A-Liberal Day.

Other targets for projectile saliva would include:

democrats
muslims
the french

Next election, we've really got to choose an American.

Can....barely type...too...busy.....laughing at....all of you.

"They're taking that day and they're breaking it because it gives Republicans an advantage. To them, that day is a fearful day."

So, they start with an idiotic premise, and their solution is to do the very same thing that the imaginary enemy is doing, based on their idiotic premise. Only a liberal could have this kind of thought process.

"When you elect a man who was raised on hating this country and all it stands for, what can you expect???"

This is the shit that will prevent the GOP from ever taking power again. You have all the truly stupid people, the truly racist people, and those truly delighted with their ignorance/racism on your team... and even staunch fiscal conservatives like me (I voted for W the first time around, and 41 back in the day as well) will NEVER return to the fold when those who call themselves 'conservatives' don't stand up and call that sort of statement to task. Obama does not hate America. That is in incredibly stupid statement.

NeoMcCarthyism, anyone? Lets call everyone who isnt ignorant/angry/deluded a ['commie' and have them killed! sounds like a great idea to me!

This is why you all need to make sure you run Palin next time around. And maybe if you can find him get David Duke to come be VP. The modern GOP does't pass the laugh test..... because of people exactly like these.

We have a new concern troll! He's concerned with the state of the GOP!

Sorry, staunch fiscal conservative, you blew your cover when you played the RAAAAACIST! card.

Obama does hate America. No one needs to be taken to task for acknowledging the obvious. A staunch fiscal conservative would see that Obama's actions regarding the financial markets and overall American economy are perfect, if the desired outcome is total destruction.

Obama hates America as he sees it and wants to turn America into Europe at best and Cuba at worst.

The problem with Obama is he actually believes that making everyone dependent on cradle to grave socialism is the way to go.

As for Obama being a Marxista at heart - all you need to do is look at what he has said along with what his cronies have said. To pretend Obama is something else, is pure denial. The same kind of denial tha is occurring in the Obama administration as his and his policies poll numbers continue to decline.

As for those who cry racism - thats just a straw man to justify the popular uprising against Obama misguided and dangerous policies.

The Democratic Party was in the same sort of denial back in 1993 and 1994. The only difference is Bill Clinton, being a seasoned politician and despite all his faults, saw the writing on the wall and moved to the center - dropping HillaryCare, idiotic BTU taxes and such and working with the Republicans who took over in 1994. Obama is no Bill Clinton - he will go down in flames rather than compromise his hard core leftist principles.

Okayyyy...

So, volunteerism and community service are bad now?

I guess it was even worse in 2002 when Bush made the whole month of September a time for people to go out and help their communities in honor of the victims of 9/11.

Last time I checked, such a spirit of volunteerism and chipping in and giving back to the community makes countries stronger and brings people closer together. We can't have that. Osama bin Laden wanted 9/11 to strike terror in our hearts years to come and weaken us as a nation. It would be just awful to take the day that is supposed to be his greatest triumph and turn it around into something that makes our country better! That wouldn't be very sporting!

I guess it was even worse in 2002 when Bush made the whole month of September a time for people to go out and help their communities in honor of the victims of 9/11.

Did he make it compulsory, with laws and stuff? Or did he get on TV and say something to that effect? I wouldn't know; you've cited nothing.

As for the rest of your diatribe: the government has no place in any of that. That's called "being human." Apparently liberals can only do that through threat of force. Sad, really.

Whatever happened to September 11th being called "Patriot Day?" It's desiganted as such on most calendars and was singed into public law by President George W. Bush on December 18, 2001. The bill was sponsored by Democrats and Republicans alike and passed 407-0 in the House (for some reason 25 members did not vote) and unaminously in the Senate.

American flags are supposed to flown at half staff and Americans are asked to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 am Eastern Time, the time that the first plane was deliberately flown into the first World Trade Center tower.

Isn't there someway to ignore these jackasses? Of course, the libs at the news will fawn after this sort of thing, because they always do.

It will be interesting to see what Post Turtle in chief does on September 11 this year. This will be his first as prez. It will be one down, three to go.

So, volunteerism and community service are bad now?

Nope. Join the Army, and help to kill our nation's enemies. Don't prance like a bunch of poofters. Bin Laden didn't strike terror in our hearts, he engendered rage for vengeance.

The point of 9/11 is that we need to kill our enemies. All of them.

Fine, let's shut the CIA down completely (that will save some money on the agency and on the kangaroo court trials to come. Bring our troops home immediately (again saving money) and cut the military to just enough to keep things (nukes) in caretaker status. Forget 9/11, the murderers were misundertood. To the idiot that suggested doing the envirowacko day on Labor Day, great. Let's not celebrate the people who built this country and suffered and die with nothing to show but what we take for granted. By the way take theor Social Security too because screw the old, let them die and be done with it.

Yeah this is the country I went to war for and served for over 20 years. This is the country my father and mother served in WWII, then worked as a dressmaker and steelworker for, both dying way too soon and having little to show after both industries died on the vine due to our wonderful government. Both leaving debt because medicare didn't cover their end of life expenses. Where is the door? Leave this place to the Muslims, the illegal immigrants and the mother lovin' rats!

Would you be so kind as to explain to me why encouraging volunteer work and community service is incompatible with commemorating the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack?

I see taking the day of Bin Laden's greatest success and turning it into a day to make our country stronger as a big middle finger in the faces of our nation's enemies.

So too did President Bush:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,61821,00.html

"In all of the trials we have faced this past year, countless acts of generosity and sacrifice have revealed the good heart of our nation," Bush said in his weekly radio address. "And in coming weeks, I ask all citizens to answer the call to help those in need, and make this month a September of Service."

Bush touted his USA Freedom Corps. effort, which, launched after Sept. 11, aims to round up volunteers at the local level to get involved in community service. He also called on Americans to enlist in what he dubbed "armies of compassion" and dedicate at least 4,000 hours of service to their communities and the world.

"The response to the call to service has been strong," he said.

Bush hailed VolunteerMatch, a group that matches volunteers to charities on the USA Freedom Corps Web page, and said referrals from that service have increased by more than 70 percent over last year. Requests for Peace Corps volunteer applications have increased 40 percent over, while online AmeriCorps applications are up by 95 percent since January. And more than 48,000 individuals have signed up online to participate in the new Citizens Corps program.

"The response we have seen is more than numbers, though," Bush said. "It is a reminder that when people help each other, our entire nation benefits."

This is satire, right?

No.

Hate to break this to ya, but the Obama national service thing ain't "compulsory" either.

Sure it is. It's a law.

@Jay Guevara

Eep. I wasn't sure, what with the pinko-commie-leftisty screenname. I apologize.

So you believe the only way to serve the country is to join the Army and kill all it's enemies? That there aren't other kinds of domestic, civilian service that are also important? It's all about the killing?

Do you by any chance include Obama and "liberals" on the enemies' list?

We need to kill our enemies, the people who are trying to kill us. People committing terrorist acts - I believe murdering 3000 Americans qualifies here - need to go on the Timothy McVeigh plan. Now.

@cowlove:

I'm sorry, but the link you posted must be broken. It leads to a dictionary definition of the word "law," not to any evidence of a law mandating compulsory national service.

The "Serve America Act" certainly didn't contain any such details.

Laws (or, rather, acts of Congress) do not always mandate or prohibit action. For example, tomorrow is National Cherry Popsicle Day but you are not obligated to eat a cherry popsicle if you do not want to.

I'd recommend, it though, because they're yummy.

@Jay Guevara
"We need to kill our enemies, the people who are trying to kill us. People committing terrorist acts - I believe murdering 3000 Americans qualifies here - need to go on the Timothy McVeigh plan. Now."

That's what we're (theoretically) doing in Afghanistan. Why we haven't been able to find OBL yet in almost 8 years is beyond me, but at we're over their killing folks.

But the real point of my question was why you think non-military service is, apparently, only for homosexuals and, if I read you correctly, has no value or merit?

somebody stole your article and passed it off as his:

http://activitypit.ning.com/forum/topics/obamas-plan-to-desecrate-911

C'mon, VLinvictus. Leave off with the straw men, OK?

Yeah yeah, you caught me making a semantic argument. Out of curiosity, though, I found this.

I'm left wondering why there is absolutely no mention of honoring anything in the act. There is nothing whatsoever about any sort of memorial to anyone. No mention of 9/11 to be found. Why? What is the purpose of this bill except to co-opt that infamous date on the premise that it "belongs" to any ideological group in the first place?

"Obama does not hate America. That is in incredibly stupid statement."

Well I can't argue with that. Why would someone who hates America choose to sit through the sermons of that utra patriotic pastor for the last 20 years? You know, the one who was really upset by 9/11?

I don't think Obama hates America, but I don't think he loves her, either. He didn't actually grow up here; he moved back here just before his teenaged years, after the time when patriotic imprinting mostly takes place. For this reason, I suspect his perspective on America is best described as "detached."

From this perspective, Obama's staying in Wright's church makes perfect sense. If Wright had gone on a tear about, say, Canada, I wouldn't be that upset either. I've got nothing against Canada, but don't love Canada either, so I'd just be somewhat annoyed that he was disparaging a friend of ours. I believe that that was Obama's perspective on Wright and America.

Vlinvictus: You have really got a bee in your bonnet don't you? What part of the story don't you understand? The "organizers" have a goal and an agenda. The date of September 11, is not coincendental.

Earth Day used to have signifigance and meaning. Now, it's a day to for Al Gore's sheep to bleat about "global warming" or "climate change" and show pictures of forlorn looking polar bears "stranded" on ice floes. When in fact the photographer who took the photograph has stated that the reason for the photograph was to show the interesting, sculpted formations of the ice floes, not to make a statement about human caused global warming, which has been refuted by thousands of scientists and posted on this blog site as well as growing numbers of polar bears, the earth muffins' favorite poster animal.

Another case in point on how Earth Day observances have grown to the point of misinformed stupidity: Al Gore's sheep harp on devices such as televisions, DVD recorders and other things that "continually use" and "waste" electricity and that they should be unplugged when not in use lest the polars bears perish in numbers too large to count. Yes, this small current of electricity is called "phantom power" and serves it a purpose. It keeps settings such as channels, clocks, timers and other settings active. I really don't wish to re-program my TV or DVD recorder everytime I turn it on. Yet, earth muffins drink the Kool-aid, and say that this "wastes electricity" and don't take time to fully inform themselves with facts and logic.
Facts and logic, two things that baffle moonbats.

leftist thinking such as this garbage will definitely bring on anther attack from MOOOOOOSLIM extremist idiots. Next the socialist communist lefties go after Pearl Harbor Day and or D-Day. Par for the course for these socialist pigs to change history.

Good question. I'm sure Pakistan has the answer because that's where his chicken shit ass is hiding. We can't go into Pakistan to find him, that would piss off most Pakistanis if we did and would widen the war. It's not a good idea to just waltz into a nuclear armed, unstable country such as Pakistan. I'm sure that there is a predator drone armed to the teeth at the border dedicated just for him.

I believe you probably do that with cows everyday.

Why we haven't been able to find OBL yet in almost 8 years is beyond me,

We couldn't find Bill Ayers either, until he turned himself in. So clearly catching terrorists, even in this country, isn't so easy, because they, like, don't want to be found and stuff.

I've been had!
