Waiting to be interviewed on the radio the other day, I found myself on hold listening to a public-service message exhorting listeners to go to 911day.org and tell their fellow citizens how they would be observing the tenth anniversary of the, ah, “tragic events.” There followed a sound bite of a lady explaining that she would be paying tribute by going and cleaning up an area of the beach.

>> touchy-feely huggy-weepy pansy-wimpy multiculti effete healing diversity mush

Awesome! I’m going to plagarize this phrase quite a bit.

This is also a great 9/11 “commemoration” story. Much better than all the other touchy-feely huggy-weepy pansy-wimpy multiculti effete healing diversity mush that I’ve seen!

We must have that giant mosque put up as regards the Flight 93 memorial that lionizes the terrorist hijackers instead of the heroes that fought against them.

Also, let's have that ground zero mosque built quickly so we can have a perfect symbol to rub our noses in are Pearl Harbor style attack of 9/11. /sarc

I think that the film that shows the people jumping should shown in every school. It would give the kids the true tragedy of this event.

During Tet we had to police the battle field of stiffs and weapons.

Do you suppose Obama will say anything at Ground Zero about “maybe at this time next year we will all meet together in the victory mosque at this site”?

Or do you suppose he’s afraid it would become a too-revealing-at-this-point advertisement for Islamists like his comments to the Palestinians were?

Sometimes I think America voted to surrender when people elected that crypto Muslim or maybe just real Muslim President.

I think most of them didn’t realize yet that Obama is who he is. Sort of like accidentally drinking a bottle of Clorox because you thought it was milk. If we re-elect him it will definitely be suicide.

Here’s what I posted earlier about Obama and the Muslim agenda. There’s much more that could be said as well, but just letting his record speak for itself, here it is:

Obama’s administration has single-handedly united the Muslim world to push for the worldwide Islamic caliphate. Last I heard, it was expected that “Arab Spring” would result in a really, really bad winter for the free world, with the Islamists being encouraged and supported by Obama, NATO, and the UN.

Obama made a statement to Palestinians in 2011 that maybe they would meet a year from then with a newly-recognized Palestinian state. That statement was interpreted as a promise and is included in a Palestinian ad. The Palestinians are pushing the UN to recognize them as an independent state, and Obama is trying to back-pedal because everybody knows that if the Palestinians are emboldened to that point now that the whole area has been taken under radical rule because the traditional more secular US allies have been replaced via “Arab Spring”, it will set the Middle East literally on fire.

The Egyptian ambassador said on TV that Obama had privately told him that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda. The worldwide Muslim agenda, which all branches of Islam agree on, is the worldwide caliphate (where the whole world is subject to sharia) and the destruction of the US and Israel.

There was only one uprising that Obama’s administration did NOT support: Iran. Iran has been under sharia and the uprising was to try to get out from it. Obama did not support or encourage the Iranian uprising. Instead, he watched while Iran developed what even the UN is now acknowledging is nuclear weapons. Instead, he weakened the US role in Iraq, which has always been in danger of being drawn into Ahmadinejad’s fold and agenda.

All the other uprisings have been Al Qaeda-related Islamists pushing to get rid of the mostly-secular American allies in power - Egypt and Libya being foremost. Barack Obama has supported the Islamists and opposed the leaders of those countries which have actually aided in US anti-terrorism measures.

In Kenya, Obama (while a US senator) supported (financially and in campaign appearances) his cousin Raila Odinga, an open communist who reportedly made an agreement with the Muslims that if they got him into power he would reduce Kenya’s cooperation with US anti-terror measures and would institute sharia. After Obama was elected, millions of US taxpayer dollars were used in Kenya to successfully promote a constitution which instituted sharia among at least the Muslims of Kenya. When election fraud did not get Odinga elected, the agreed-upon violence by the Muslims against the Christians eventually got Odinga to share power with the incumbent leader, who was an ally of the US in the War on Terror.

IOW, Obama has a 100% record of supporting Islamists (who oppose the US) in their struggles against the secular leaders who are allies in the war on terror. A 100% record in favor of Islamists.

Seems to me that Obama’s statement to the Egyptian ambassador that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda is the only true thing Obama has ever said.

At the same time, domestically, it was reported that after Nidal Hasan’s massacre, Eric Holder told the FBI that they had to stop investigating black Muslim converts who were terrorism suspects. Holder ordered the DOJ not to prosecute the New Black Panther Party members who were guilty of blatant voter intimidation. And Holder sued AZ to make sure that our southern border would remain unenforced while drug cartels in league with terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda and Hezbollah enter our country freely - even while direct flights between Iran and Venezuela were importing Hezbollah agents to send up north to reach the US through our soft underbelly. And all this while Venezuela was offering their soil as a base for Iranian missiles, giving Ahmadinejad range to hit the US with the nuclear weapons the UN has finally acknowledged that Iran is developing.

Folks, the past 3 years have been a nightmare. When Obama was elected it gave the boa full power to wind itself around our neck and that is exactly what the communist-Islamist alliance of George Soros has been doing this whole time. While this illegal enemy combatant has occupied our White House, the courts have said it is nobody’s business, the politicians and pundits have said that only kooks care about the rule of law, and the military has ruled that the Constitution is “irrelevant” to the lawfulness of military combat orders. Law enforcement has refused to investigate any of these crimes against the US people and against the US Constitution.

This winter looks to be very, very ugly. I think some Americans are waking up, but as long as Congress, the courts, and law enforcement think they can play politics with the cute little boa wrapped around our neck, this country is doomed. Drastic times require drastic action, and we have nobody who is willing to do what has to be done.

If Joe Liebermann is half the defender of Israel that he would like to think he is, he would file suit with SCOTUS to have Obama immediately declared ineligible, because that is about the only thing in the worldly realm that is going to prevent Armageddon from happening very, very soon. IMHO.

Gee, Christine Amanpour has a big one hanging in her upscale New York apartment. I guess it wasn't too soon for her.

Very good article. I am truly disgusted by what the politicians and the left have done to 9/11.

Looks like a sickle, too. Maybe they planned to add the hammer later.

If you see something, do something.

I see an American culture that's silly, - that's lost it's way... Who do I call? What do I say?

There were objections to the proposed “Crescent of Embrace” on the grounds that it looked like an Islamic crescent pointing towards Mecca. The defense of its designers was that, au contraire, it’s just the usual touchy-feely huggy-weepy pansy-wimpy multiculti effete healing diversity mush.

It doesn’t really matter which of these interpretations is correct, since neither of them has anything to do with what the passengers of Flight 93 actually did a decade ago. 9/11 was both Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle Raid rolled into one, and the fourth flight was the only good news of the day, when citizen volunteers formed themselves into an ad hoc militia and denied Osama bin Laden what might have been his most spectacular victory. A few brave individuals figured out what was going on and pushed back within half an hour. But we can’t memorialize their sacrifice within a decade. And when the architect gets the memorial brief, he naturally assumes that there’s been a typing error and that “Let’s roll!” should really be “Let’s roll over!”

Oh, goody! On December 7th I’m going to shovel my neighbor’s sidewalk.

This crap is all a diversion, trying to get people to stop thinking of 9/11 as an act or war.
