Obama commemorates 9/11 with appeal for tolerance

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."

Yea, but with the brain cancer, which nobody knew about, he could have been just a little off. He could have been prone to excessive and unreasonable rage and thought processes.

Or, he may have known he was going to die and wanted to go out with some last Opus.

But, yea, word is there was bad blood between Bill and Ted and that one of the factors that put us in this ‘literally’ crazy situation.

By now, even Soros must be thinking he screwed up. I'm sure the last thing Soros had in mind was to crush the Democrat party by installing an imbecile. Kennedy, if he were here, would be working on some political scheme to get rid of Obama. Yep, they screwed up and it is getting worse for them every day.

If the story is true, Clinton was right.

...”al-Qaida, a sorry band of men which perverts religion.”

Wow, so much for his so-called “tolerance...”

Dude, those words are “confrontational.”

Wouldn’t you say if this were George Shrub, those words would be quoted and re-quoted on the MSM just like his “Axis of Evil” comment was????

Well, I have to say Boomer. This is one of the most vile, disgusting things I have ever seen in terms of disrespecting America.

From my point of view, what he is doing there is equivalent to spitting on an American flag.

It is like the ground zero mosque. He is gloating, "I won." It is not supposed to be about being victorious. It is supposed to be about serving America. Oh course, he does not see it that way.

November 4th, 2008, America "acted stupidly"...

The "great divider" will be reviled in his own time.

The War against Islam started a long time ago Obama.

America can ignore a President wannabe that won’t fight for his country.

And we can vote out you mob of supporters as well.

“It was not a religion that attacked us that September day — it was al-Qaida, a sorry band of men which perverts religion.”

What a sorry POS for a POTUS, we are on to you, and we are on to that filthy perverted book written by a pervert. Taking a child bride, are you kidding me? You expect us to be tolerate of child molestation because some cave dweller known as mohammed said it was okay to molest children?

FUBO

Was Chuckie Schumer around today?...haven’t seen him grabbing the spot light lately...


Good luck spotting a dem and a camera on the same block between now and elections. Its a strategy that has served them well, most recently in the run up to the 2k6 midterms.

“diversity”—by infusing less than civilized persons into a civilized population all you accomplish is making the society as whole a little less civilized.

“tolerance”—I can tolerate other cultures. But when a culture is barbaric and desires my demise, I will no longer tolerate it. It must be destroyed.

O’Bowow is as good at pitching religious tolerance as he is at pitching racial tolerance.

Those teabaggers acting stupidly ...

Come to think of it, he’s no good at anything.

The TRUE IRONY of all this is: OBAMA is one of the LEAST TOLERANT PRESIDENTS we’ve had in my lifetime.

He’s always criticizing and complaining about other people including “Christians who cling to their guns and religion.”

And he’s completely intolerant of White Americans.

He’s also the most racist president in my lifetime, as he never misses a chance to stir up racial tensions and play the race card.

In Obama, we see the incarnation of “The INTOLERANCE of the tolerance movement.”

I’m so sick of this MF’er!
