Last Call

Obama's first September 11th anniversary as President is important as he sets a new national tone. Needless to say, there are those who want the day to remain a day of abject fear and obedience to neo-con ideals.

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.

Perish the thought! September 11th should be a day when we wet ourselves in terror and scream out in anger and anguish instead of moving on, trying to find closure to a dark period in out history. And what is the American Spectator so afraid of?

The plan is to turn a "day of fear" that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left. In other words, nihilistic liberals are planning to drain 9/11 of all meaning.

It's nihilistic not to want to be at war with the entire Muslim world, you see.

Funny how that works.
