Prepare to be shocked and disgusted.

Obama’s Plan to Desecrate 9/11
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.
Wait ’til you hear who is heading up this cause:
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.
Yearwood, who uses the honorific “Reverend” before his name, has been in the news in recent years, usually for getting arrested. After Democrats took back Congress, the rowdy activist was handcuffed outside a congressional hearing in September 2007 when Gen. David Petraeus was to testify. Yearwood told the “Democracy Now” radio program that he wanted to attend the hearing to hear Petraeus give his report. “I knew that when officers lie, soldiers die,” he said.
Who was in on the conference call, you ask?
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.
Obama did famously promise ACORN and friends in Dec. 07, that he would let them help him shape his Presidential agenda.
That should have set off some warning bells…it did for me, anyway.
The Color of Change’s Van Jones, the self-described “communist” and “rowdy black nationalist” who became Obama’s green jobs czar, gushed that the National Day of Service 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.”
What any of that has to do with 9/11 is anyone’s guess.

MORE from Alice H at DoublePlusUndead:
There are only 11 national holidays, which leaves…crap, there’s not supposed to be math here…oh gosh, 353 days other than a day when nearly 3,000 Americans died at the hands of terrorists that you imbeciles could use as your day to plant shrubs and refuse to flush your toilets even if it’s brown and wear your solar-powered bras and pretend to be green for one day a year. Do the idiots leading our country think there’s any tie whatsoever between why our citizens were mass murdered and ecofascism? Did I miss some proclamation from Osama bin Laden that if we just quit being so damn wasteful, he’d quit getting his jollies from killing people?
Still MORE thoughts from Michelle Malkin:
Makes perfect sense coming from a president who believes that the root of 9/11 jihadi stems “from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers.”
Yes, I had forgotten about that.

“What any of that has to do with 9/11 is anyone’s guess.”
Nothing. That’s why they want it on 9/11. They want 9/11 to be associated with something else. Anything else.
They want us to forget what happened. They want us to forget that Muslim fanatics flew planes into our buildings and killed thousands of innocent Americans.
They underestimate us.
We will not forget.

And when it comes to turning 9/11 into a day of community activism, I think patriotic Americans should collectively shout,
“Je refuse!”

Absolutely disgusting. These next 3 1/2 years are going to seem like an eternity.

dont anyone remember when we were kids playing in the first and second grade play ground at school and some kids from a different group came over and tried to take over our group and bully us into doing what they wanted to do? when we had already discussed and decided on what we wanted to do or play??? what did we do??? we would all leave and let them have it. so then, when they decided that we werent going to play with them and they couldnt bully us into doing it their way; they went on their own way and we went back to what we were doing (our way). the point is; that when you have a way to go and some one wants to lead you in a different way (that you dont want to go), then dont go. a so called leader cannot lead if there are no followers. there have always been so many different kinds of leaders in our society and the most popular ones were the ones who led in the direction that most of us wanted to go. this is a free country and we have the right to go in the direction we want to!!!! these ideals are part of what made america strong and better than other countries in a lot of ways.
