A big hat tip here to Jesse Taylor at Pandagon here, who reminds us the Republicans are always going to be so far ahead of us in the insane rantings department, it's a wonder we decide to leave it up to them to decide who gets health care.
But this diary isn't about health care. It's about Obama's decision to dedicate 9/11 as a National Day of Service. First, here's what our side has to say for ourselves:
Our mission is to honor the victims of 9/11 and those who rose to service in response to the attacks by encouraging all Americans and others throughout the world to pledge to voluntarily perform at least one good deed, or another service activity on 9/11 each year. In this way we hope to create a lasting and forward-looking legacy -- annually rekindling the spirit of service, tolerance, and compassion that unified America and the world in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
Which naturally provokes the following response:
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.
Coming to 911: The Desecration: Obama's 911 proclamation of his mandatory civilian service on 911, his private army -- the "Civilian Community Service Corps"...The whole thing is depraved. It's like telling a brutally raped victim that it was the best sex she ever had.
(note: it's not like the organizers have any sort of connection to 9/11, for example, founder Jay Winuck got to work becayse "on September 11, Jay’s brother Glenn was killed in the line of duty at The World Trade Center."
or "Alice Hoagland, today a respected authority on airline safety, is the mother of 9/11 victim Mark Bingham, who along with the other brave passengers of United Flight 93, stormed the cockpit and fought with terrorists for control of the hijacked aircraft."
or, you know "Bill Doyle and Patricia Reilly, Coalition of 9/11 Families")
I have no idea what these freaking daleks on the right wing side of things think an appropriate way to give back on 9/11. Maybe by beating up anyone who could be confused for Middle Eastern?
