Does anybody remember who controlled the entire Government of the U.S.A. on 9/11/01?
It was Clinton’s Obama’s Fault, of course!
This is the exploitation of the Americans who lost their lives on the morning of September 11, 2001 in order to further the Right Wing/Corporatist political agenda.
This is the exploitation of the suffering of ever family effected by 9/11.
This is the exploitation of emergency workers who served on 9/11. Many of them died on that tragic day.
This is the exploitation of the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor.
This is the shameless exploitation of every american, everywhere.
And where were these protesters in 2002? or 2003? or 2004? or 2005? or 2006? or 2007? or 2008?
But now that we have a Black Democratic President the Corporate intersts, their lobbyists, the RW media and the GOP choose to protest on the morning after the 8 year anniversary of 9/11/2001?
This can not stand unchallenged.
I refer to this.
Sign up for the 09.12.09 Protest at the Capitol!
It’s time to take the tea party movement directly to Washington, D.C. Please join thousands of local organizers and grassroots Americans from across the country as we gather in our nation’s capital to deliver a message to the politicians: Enough!
We are gathering on 9-12-2009 to deliver our message in person that we’ve had enough!National Sponsor: Freedom Works
Freedomworks, if you are not aware, is the RW lobbying firm headed by the Ex Republic House Majority Leader Dick Armey, which has been behind the Fox News sponsored tea bagging party movement that miraculously materialized the moment the Republic party lost the Presidential election on 11/4/08.
They might as well name their event the 1/19/09 project.
If you aren’t outraged or insulted enough over the fact that the charlatans are exploiting the deaths and suffering of Americans to push their Corporatists, RightWing Astroturf agenda, consider this. They are using this to sell T-Shirts.
Think about that. Freedom works is using the anniversary of 9/11 to sell T-Shirts.
Why not have the 9/12 protest timed to start the moment after the last tower fell? Or how about the moment after the first plane hit? Did they decide to have these protests the next day out of respect?
Is nothing sacred? Is nothing off limits?
To think that people will protest the very spending that pays for the emergency workers, firefighters and police officers who would act without hesitation to pull them out of the burning buildings is as unimaginable as it is offensive. To think that people would protest health care reform that would save the lives of emergency responders who would risk there lives saving them is an insult to all common sense.
So, what is the goal? Why 9/12?
The goal of the 9/12 movement in teabagging RW/Corporatist astroturf protest history is to remind you to be afraid, be very, very afraid.
In fact, they would like it very much if you stayed as afraid as you were on 9/12 all the time.
And angry too. Don’t forget angry.
The goal is to wish that you will be as easily manipulated as you were in the years following 9/11 while the Bush/Cheney Administration sold everything that wasn’t nailed down to multinational corporations through deregulation and tax breaks to the rich while they stripped away your civil rights and lied us into a war of aggression based on lies in Iraq.
The goal is to blame President Obama for everything Bush left us.
And the goal is to manufacture as much fear as possible in the hopes that that fear will turn to anger and lead to GOP electoral gains.
Why do I say that? Because Senator John Cornyn said so.
“Fear, I would say, precedes anger, and I think there are a lot of people who tell me they are scared of what they see coming out of Washington in terms of spending and the debt and muscular federal intervention on everything from financial institutions to healthcare,” Cornyn said. “It’s almost like a part of the grieving process.” […]
“No one would have ever thought six months ago we would be where we are today. I see real opportunities for us,” Cornyn said at a meeting with reporters. “2010 did not look like it was going to be a particularly friendly year for us.”
The GOP seems to be more excited at the prospect of health care and economic reforms failing so that they use them for electoral gains than at these problems actually being solved.
And what if that anger turns into violence? Will that be Clinton’s Obama’s fault too?
Does anyone think that the people who organize these farces even care? Or maybe that is what they want, maybe they hope someone gets hurt.
I only speculate of course. Who knows what horrors in the heart of GOP party leaders.
Fear, anger, lies, blame.
The GOP has no interest in helping clean up their own mess. In fact, they hope it gets worse, and they are not afraid to work as hard as they can to ensure that happens.
They hope WE fail. As in all of America. Then they can ens-l-ave us.
And while they encourage you to fear terrorism, they will actively encourage others in their own base to terrorize you while they do so.

I, for one, will not stand for this.
My father was a volunteer firefighter, some of my best friends are NYPD.
On 9/11/09 I will be setting politics aside and will attend the memorial service to the fallen at Ground Zero.
On 9/12/09 I will show my respect for those same fallen heroes by defending their honor. I will be attending the 9/12 protests in Washington D.C. to counter protest and support President Obama. I will be documenting the rabid fear and hate of the astroturf tea party movement, and I hope others will do so as well.
It is time to stand up to the open hypocricy of the GOP and their lies and hate and racism and deceir.
It is time to stand up to the GOP terrorists who would cow our democracy into fear and inaction with threats of violence and staged protests.
It is time to Yell Louder and FIGHT BACK.
Peacefully, and aggresively.

and the shoes we should carry to D.C. to throw at Bush in effigy.
in the pit of my stomach sick.

“There is no such thing as the government, there are several governments, and they are at war with each other.”
I have come to reject both sides of the obsolete “two party” system driven by globalists. Be it Glenn Beck or Ariana Huffington both are misinformed platforms devoid of any egalitarianism. They serve only to disinform, divide and distract people from discovering their true destiny.
