WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama appealed to an unsettled nation Saturday to honor the memory of the Sept. 11 attacks by hewing to the values of diversity and tolerance. "We will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and mistrust," the president declared.

Speaking at the Pentagon, where nine years ago a hijacked plane smashed into the west side of the building and killed 184 people, Obama conjured a solemn remembrance of that horrible day but also spoke strongly in defense of religious freedom.

"As Americans we are not — and never will be — at war with Islam," the president said. "It was not a religion that attacked us that September day — it was al-Qaida, a sorry band of men which perverts religion."

“I am tired of tolerance.”

Same here.

And I am equally tired of “diversity”, which is a leftist code word for destroying America by massive third-world immigration, including ragheads and other ner-do-wells.

Its not as controlled an environment as he would like. What if he was booed? How would that reflect on his carefully maintained facade?

IMHO What we need in our White House is someone with the equipment that enables them to tell these butchers that there will be no mosqe there and if they dare to make trouble we’ll take out 10 for every one of ours.

You are absolutely right...AMERICA is the epitome of "diversity". That's why it has ALWAYS been called the great MELTING POT.

No other nation on this planet - in history - has ever been as "diverse" as America. We have fought and DIED to protect the freedom to BE diverse and to worship as we please, and not these towel-heads are trying to guilt us in further acquiescence and capitulation, and I'm saying our back is against the wall, and it's time to push back. /rant

To Hell with Obama. He’s pushing me in the opposite direction of tolerance, with his constant whining and metrosexual attitude.

I hope you can my FRiend. I for one, will not stand down until “THIS” is really over. While I'm proud I'm raising a fine conservative young 11 year old....I fear for him as well. I can't see into the future...only God can and I somehow have to put one tiny Christian step in front of the other and go on but how I wish it doesn't have to be this way. The unknown is somehow magnified today and frightening!

I watched 0’s speech on CNN. If you listen closely, you can hear crickets. Clearly.

Agitprop.
 
A lot like what the Soviets constantly slung at us via various front groups all during the Cold War. Always lectures, protests and street theater leveled at the West, but never a peep towards the Warsaw Pact. Now we have a POTUS actively engaged in the same sort of BS against the West, and on the behalf of another bunch nasties.

I didn’t know Propaganda had a Cabinet position. He truly is beside himself supporting his agenda.

The White House said Obama began the day by privately observing a moment of silence at 8:46, the time when the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center.
