9/11 Families about politicizing the day
Blackfive "...the families want Americans to remember those in the military that volunteered to go to war to fight the terrorists and protect America. As Debra Burlingame so eloquently stated, “We cannot forget the men dying in uniform. Those are the people who have done the heaviest lifting when it comes to serving this country; when it comes to 9-11. We need to teach future generations what happened as well as the response.”"
What George Will Could Learn From 'Wild Bill' Corson
By Norm Hapke "I wish George Will had adopted the approach that Bill Corson took. Finding our way forward entails looking at our options dispassionately and carefully without blame or recrimination or trying to score points in the political arena. I don't know which way forward is best but I don't think conservatives serve our country by being reflexively on one side or the other. However, if we stay in Afghanistan, I'm heartened to see that Gen's Jones, Petraeus, and McCrystal show that they have read Bill Corson's book."

It's also threatened to derail years of progress and newly restored relations between Libya and the West."
What We Are Learning About the Era of Obama
by Victor Davis Hanson "...a right-wing African-American is considered inauthentic; but a liberal African-American is deserving of reparations. A black Reaganite who grew up under Jim Crow in the South and overcame vile racism to become a professional is now considered less “black” than someone near-white, who grew up in the 1960s North, and received identity-politics deference. No, minority has not much to do any more with racial discrimination, but everything to do with careerism and politics."
More on Obama's Green Czar Van Jones
Link "Just before Van Jones was appointed as our president's special advisor, someone that would advise the president of the United States on how to create green jobs, just before that appointment he said this:"
Parents upset over 'leftist propaganda' video
Salt Lake Trib ""It's very inappropriate to show a radical, leftist propaganda piece that political to children," Ruzicka said. "If parents want their children to learn about those things and do them in the home, wonderful, fine, but it's not the place of the school to show a one-sided propaganda piece to children without parents knowing about it."" I did like the pledge to think of oneself as an American, not a hyphenated-American.
White House Withdraws Call for Students to 'Help' Obama
ABC News "Obama's plan to inspire the nation's schoolchildren with a video address next week erupted into controversy."
