The Lib Hijacking of 9/11
in the early morning on Monday, the 24th of August 2009 by Katie
9/11 – A day that will probably always remain in our memory. Even 60 years from now, we will be able to remember where we were and who we were with when we heard the news. That is, if we can remember anything in 60 years.
In April, Obama dedicated 9/11 as a “National Day of Service”. To me, it will always be a national day of mourning and remembrance.
And we all remember the Dems accusing the Reps of using 9/11 for political means. That’s all I can really say about that.
In the American Spectator is an article titled: Obama’s Plan to Desecrate 9/11.
Wow. That’s quite an accusation. What is behind it?
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.
This effort to reshape the American psyche has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year’s election campaign. The president signed into law a measure in April that designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service, but it’s not likely many lawmakers thought this meant that day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing.
The administration’s plans were outlined in an Aug. 11 White House-sponsored teleconference call run by Obama ally Lennox Yearwood, president of the Hip Hop Caucus, and Liv Havstad, the group’s senior vice president of strategic partnerships and programs….
On the Aug. 11 call, Yearwood and other leaders kept saying repeatedly that they wanted 9/11 to be used for something “positive,” “forward-leaning,” and “productive,” said a source with knowledge of the teleconference.
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.
“They think it needs to be taken back from the right,” said the source. “They’re taking that day and they’re breaking it because it gives Republicans an advantage. To them, that day is a fearful day.”
A coalition including the unsavory left-wing pressure group Color of Change and about 60 far-left, environmentalist, labor, and corporate shakedown groups participated in the call. Groups on the call included: 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.
Wow, that’s quite a group. You would be hard pressed to compile a more scary group, in my opinion. But what the heck do any of them have to do with 9/11?
Of this National Day of Service, Jones says little except that it will be a great opportunity “for people to connect, to find other people in your peer group who are also passionate about repowering America but also greening up America and cleaning up America.”
On the same day, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, and Department of Energy Under Secretary Kristina Johnson and activists held a low-key press conference. At it, Yearwood said the National Day of Service will be “the first milestone” of a larger effort called Green the Block that is attempting to convince Americans that the utopian fantasy of a so-called green economy is possible without turning the U.S. into a Third World country.
Don’t we already have more appropriate days for this? Don’t we already have Arbor Day? Earth Day?
Does anyone else have the feeling that “they” don’t want you to remember the actual significance of 9/11? That they want to sully its memory by weird eco-friendly “greening” activities?
Thousands of innocent civilians were callously murdered as went about their everyday lives by evil jihadists on our on land. And now, they want to commemorate the day by planting an eco-garden?
Can we possibly desecrate the memories of the dead any further?

If they want a national service day, why co-opt 9/11, a day that everyone will still remember for what happened in 2001, and not November 22. That day seems more appropriate and forward-leaning (whatever the hell that means). After all, it was jkf that tole us to ask what we can do for our country.

Not really surprising from Obummer and his pals, because they’re striving for a one-world government. Diluting one of the most important days in recent American history and bada-bing!, less identity.

I say that the aforementioned groups can all do a “Hands Across Afghanistan”, while singing Kum-by-yah.
Let’s see how long their greenie peaceful ideas last.
This is not Star Trek world. James T. is not at the helm. Our politicians need to forget the idealic world that Roddenbury envisioned, and come back to reality.
I get very nervous when I hear of National Service Days. Isn’t that how the pyramids were built? It is the gradual blending of “voluntary” with “mandatory” that has me worried.
If they want to remember 9/11, they should remember the fact that we were attacked without provocation. That innocent people died for the “jihad” glory. That there are people that are still out there that want to kill us. That we are lucky to still have our loved ones with us. That we deserve a government that has a large enough set to protect us.
Basically – we were not the bad guys….
But, to gather together a bunch of groups who seem to be he**bent on destroying US is in every possible respect wrong.

After some discussion with liberal types, well i discussed and they typically wisecracked, I did a little digging. I found the we already have a National Day of Service. It’s called Martin Luther King Day. So why do we need a second day? I did not want to believe at first that this was all about politics. Now I can’t believe otherwise.

I guess they want to take away Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Rememberance of D-Day, etc??
How do they come up with 9-11 is a pro-Republican, anti-Lib item? It is an Anti-terrorist & pro-American, & Remembrance issue.
Perhaps they connect Anti-Terrorist with being Anti-Lib? and Pro-American with being Pro-Republican.
Seriously this is demented, it is sick, it is callous, and just adds another reason for me to feel ill when I hear liberal & or Obama.
The groups in support this, definitely are an “interesting” (rather scary) lot.. and Bob your comment that the Nat’l Service Day exists as MLKjr Day.. perhaps that is another item.. add the black-history month.. and the real intention behind Nat’l Service day (which is backed by a large number of black organizations).. hummm..
Still, why would they and do they need to center everything around obama being (half) black? Does he have no other redeeming quality in their eyes? Perhaps that is the case, makes sense to me. They are using him in their own political agenda.. and dressed it up in an eco-freak plan..
oh.. need to go bang my head so it won’t hurt so much, or at least I have a reason to cry?

Whatever happened to:
“U.S. House of Representatives Joint Resolution 71 was approved by a vote of 407-0 on October 25, 2001. It requested that the President designate September 11 of each year as “Patriot Day.” President George W. Bush signed the resolution into law on December 18, 2001 (as Public Law 107-89). It is a discretionary day of remembrance.”
