Michelle Malkin wrote a post on her site today, about how Obama plans to take the real meaning of the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks (Or Sept. 11th "man made disaster" in liberal speak) and bastardize it to further his radical left agenda.
There is nothing more profoundly insulting than to take for granted the deaths of all the innocent souls and the heroes that went in to the chaos to help the victims. The mere idea that Obama wants us to forget the sting to our hearts in order to "re-brand" the day into a leftist carnival is overwhelmingly sickening and yet not at all surprising.
He plans to call it a "day of service", but I don't know what that means. I'm assuming it involves the wealthy and middle class being guilted into volunteering their time to help the poor, as opposed to just their paychecks as usual. If this is the case, I hope that you take a moment to remind any rallying liberal that volunteering is not just a one day task-it should be year round. Typical elitist liberals thinking that just one day of volunteering somehow clears their conscience of doing absolutely nothing to help anyone but themselves any other time. It's just like how tossing some spare change into a kettle at Christmas time somehow absconds all wealthy elitist liberals of their conspicuous consumption for the rest of the year.
What liberals never seem to understand is that taking care of those less fortunate than ourselves is not a once or twice a year thing. It's not something that you do to get positive attention when someone is watching. It should be genuine and for the sake of helping, not for the sake of self promotion.
Obama and his statist friends want us to forget the pain of the terrorist attacks of 9-11. They want the reality of that horrific day out of our memories in order to get us to lower our guard and befriend those that want to kill us for "diplomatic" reasons. Isn't Obama's whole foreign policy just to *hug it out* with all our enemies, right after we bend forward and take it in the...(fill in the blank).
Guess what Obama? I WILL NEVER FORGET.
So if this does happen, if the liberals ask you to "move forward" and "turn the horror into a positive" I hope that you refuse. We don't need to dwell in the pain but we need to feel it on some level. Our nation needs to stop and remember the loss of our feelings of safety each year on that day. We need to slow down our worlds and remember the innocents that threw themselves out of skyscrapers because it was the only way they could be in control amidst the utter chaos. We need to teach our kids about the people racing down flight after flight after flight of stairs in abject terror as the walls around them crumbled. We can't ever forget the phone calls placed to emergency dispatchers pleading for help, or to tell their children and families good-bye. We need to remember those that tried to overcome the terrorists while their airplane plummeted to the ground. We owe it to the victims to remember the real meaning of Sept. 11th.
We must stand together to keep the essence of Sept.11th pure. Teach your kids what happened. Tell future generations about how we banded together in solidarity with our tears on that day and afterwards. Make sure the people that were not born yet on that day are able to "get it"-- not Obama's ridiculous version of "remembrance" by planting trees, but the raw fear and sadness followed by the pure unity and patriotism that the terrorists made us feel that day.
It needs to be a day of honoring the fallen, not a day of donating old clothes to the poor. We have 364 days each year to help those less fortunate, but only one day to remember what actually happened.
