Oh fer cryin' out loud: Another in a series

When will the media stop taking the lunacy of the right seriously?

Matthew Vadum at American Spectator:

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.

OMG!! Grab the duct tape and sheeting! COMMUNITY ORGANIZING!!!! AAAAUUUUGGGGHHH!!!!

I wonder what Mr. Vadum (and wouldn't I love to know what HIS daddy issues are) thinks SHOULD be the meaning of the 9/11 attacks? Perhaps he thinks it should be "beat up a Muslim" day. Or maybe "Kill a liberal" day. Or maybe "Bomb a Federal building in Oklahoma" day. Something good and violent to keep our hate on.

Perhaps Mr. Vadum doesn't remember how people came together in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks to work at the rubble site, or provide bottled water and food to those working there. There were so many people -- an impromptu COMMUNITY which ORGANIZED itself to help out at a time of need.

What a horrible way to remember that day -- to revive the spirit of "We are all together" that for a few brief days before George Bush discovered the power to be had by advocating endless war and constant fear -- existed in New York City.
