They are really starting to come out of the woodwork now
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 /U.S. Newswire/ — Thousands of people in churches, Quaker meetings, and community groups across the country will join together on Sept. 11 to ask Congress to reject the failed policies of the "war on terror" and develop a new approach to global security.
Initiated by the Friends Committee on National Legislation (Quakers), the 9/11 Call for Freedom From Fear will enable congregations and individuals around the country to mark this fifth anniversary of September 11 with a call for Congress to rethink the national approach to building a safer post-9/11 world.
"In the grief and fear that gripped the nation after September 11, 2001, the U.S. faced a choice: seek an outlet for immediate vengeance or build the foundations of strong and lasting peace. U.S. leaders chose to answer with retribution and preemptive violence, and the entire nation is now paying dearly for that choice," explained Robin Aura Kanegis, campaigns director of the Friends Committee on National Legislation. "We will be calling on Congress to end the conflict in Iraq, invest in development and diplomacy to build world stability and prevent future conflicts, and stop the erosion of constitutional rights and liberties that threaten the very roots of democracy here at home."
Put more clearly, these are the same old anti-Iraq war lefties, with the same old complaints about lost liberties, that they cannot specify in particular, using the 5th anniversary to do what the lefties do best: demonstrate and complain.
They need to just get a life. But, like most lefties, they choose to use 9/11 for their own nefarious purposes, rather then respecting the day.
It is sickening. I’ve been reading a lot of the 2996 tributes and it’s just disgusting that some of them are using those tributes to spew out their hatred for America.
I don’t care what anyone’s politics are – an attack on America and giving tribute to the lives lost that day is NOT the place for politics. We are Americans, period. That should be all there is to it.
They have certainly taken on a desperate tone lately.
They made a concious decision to be anti everything, rather then supporting their country with their insanity. It is sickening.
