"The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry," reports the American Spectator. You should read the whole thing for the full, sickening details, but do be advised that the administration is attempting to transform the day "into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing.... a day of activism, food banks, and community gardens."
Community gardens? What is this, Jimmy Carter times? No thank you, President Hippie. It's not often that I agree with our friends on the right, but if this disgusting report actually turns out to be true, I am in complete sympathy with their revulsion: Everyone knows that 9/11 is supposed to be the day on which we inculcate fear and hatred of an entire group of people who are "different" from us, ideally in the most politicized way possible. I mean, it's only been eight years; what does it say about us as a country that we can't stick to tradition?
I don't think you are being fair. That is some of the sharpest political satire I've ever read.
How dare Obama desecrate 9/11 with a National Day of Service! Doesn't he know the best way to honor those who lost their lives is to use them as an excuse to bomb Iraq?
I'm just putting the finishing touches on my "swarthy person of indeterminate origin" pinata.
Those steel beams have already begun to cloud "Can You Believe It's Still a Giant Fucking Hole in the Ground" Day for me. If we make that day about community organizing and uniting people around a single purpose, then the terrorists have won.
As long as it doesn't interfere with my customary 9-11 commemorative freaking the fuck out.
Oh, and how dare the muslins hold Ramadan in the month including 9/11?
I always going through my day as normally as possible is a good way to commemorate 9/11, seeing as I'm still alive.
I'm going to a reading of the names of some 3,000 food banks that have closed in the past eight years.
The plan is to turn a "day of fear" that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left. In other words, nihilistic liberals are planning to drain 9/11 of all meaning.
You know, if you patriots were as dedicated as you claimed, you'd jump out from behind a Bush on 9/11 and yell "boom."
Sometimes I think the rest of America forgets where the largest 9/11 attack actually occurred.
