Mr. President, 9-11 is Not About Picking Up Garbage

Mr. President, 9-11 is Not About Picking Up Garbage

President Obama issued a September 11th proclamation calling on the nation to do community service.

With all due respect, Mr. President, today is not about picking up garbage.

It’s about remembering the dead. It’s about remembering how Islamic extremists flew jetliners into the twin towers and the Pentagon.

It’s about an airplane full of Americans who sacrificed their lives over Pennsylvania to spare more terror elsewhere.

But there was something else disturbing about President Obama’s proclamation. He failed to mention the word God.

Instead, he said we should mark today by remembering “our faith in one another.”

You do that, Mr. President – but not me.

I’m going to remember how Americans flocked to their houses of worship – how we prayed, how we sang the great hymns of our faith.

I’m going to remember how for a moment the nation took comfort – not in each other – but in the Almighty.

  5. WHY do Americans put up with this muslim idiot. If his policies just failed I would not feel as I do since he has been so UN-AMERICAN in his statements and actions – no respect for the American Flag, no respect for the US Constitution or Declaration of Independence, no respect for our military, and most of all no respect for God Almighty or Jesus Christ.

  7. As a survivor I am distressed at how disgusting and unpatriotic Obama's remarks are this day.

    I respectfully agree with Todd on this one. I don't think we should remember with hate, but I do think we should remember the tragedy and those who gave their all to rescue and protect. I think that to declare a "national garbage pickup day" on this particular date is insensitive and disrespectful.

    We should pray for the godlessness of our leaders. Shameful and embarrassed that this man is leader of our nation.

    • No offense, but how would doing community service today be so bad and send the wrong message? By donating blood today, id save 3 lives. By volunteering to clean up a neighborhood id give hope of humanity to a lost and struggling community. By serving lunch to a homeless person i may be giving faith to someone who once fought for the freedom this President has to has his own opinion. He's not my favorite president but i don't find every little reason to pick him apart. Ever think God had him in office to test our faith as a nation? Have you recently prayed for him? His family? Just a thought. Doing community service doesn't mean picking.up trash on the side of the road. How about passing out water to the homeless or baking cookies for a class of students who face hunger at home or even buy lunch for a college student struggling financially.

    • It is God that brought us through not faith in ourselves.

    • I think there is a whole lot of truth is what you say, Katie. There is so much anger and hate spewing from both sides of the political spectrum. I think sometimes even Christians are so focus on defending God and the Bible that we forget to walk in love and live as Christ wants us to live. And you are right that there is never a bad dad to do something good. However, I do think the President has had these last four years to convince Americans that he truly gets what we feel concerning 911, and he hasn't done that yet. I can't get inside the man's head, but I can tell you how I feel when he addresses the issue. I never have felt like he was on my side, on America's side. I've always felt like he would rather go around the world and apologize for America being arrogant and blaming us for 911 than standing with America and defending Americans, which is really the American President's job. After all, he's supposed to be our President, not the President of the world.

    • True. Like i said he's not my favorite. I didn't vote for him the first time and he won't get my vote the second time. All we can do is educate our peers and friends without picking apart every little personal problem we have towards the man and do what we can as citizens to get him out of office after one term. I am never surprised he doesn't reference God. He's openly claimed to be of Muslim faith. That doesn't make him heartless, just lost. Bashing him for not falsely claiming Christian faith is so ridiculous. I feel if he were fake just to satisfy our faith, that would be more offensive than if he didn't. At least i know he needs prayer and guidance and a proper example of how Christ would want us to love him.

    • Donna Franczak /

      Katie: all of those things are good and can/should be done everyday of the year. But the official proclamation should not be about that. Rather it should reflect on the circumstances of that day, the brave souls who died and the courage of the rescuers. It should be about how we felt as a nation and what we want future generations to remember about that day.

    • Didn't we come together as a nation that day? Not only through faith but through one another as well. So how is not reaching out to our fellow neighbors holding back the message this day holds. My heart grieves for those whos lives were lost as well as they're families. But if we just stay in our safe place remembering what happened how are we honoring them more than going out and keeping the faith in humanity? whether they perceive it as restoring their doubts for Christ or just simply reminding then they have a purpose and brighten their day. We're all entitled to our interpretation of the day. Ill do my part in remembering the fallen and their loved ones. The feelings i felt as a child watching my nation under attack and fearing what would happen to.my father. But also reach out to strangers and remind them they aren't alone.

    • Me and my typos, lol. Oh well…Here's something I saw earlier this morning. Maybe you've seen it. It reminds me that no matter what happens in life God is there. http://youtu.be/swCPUhd40js

    • No i haven't seen it. Thank you for sharing :)

    • I agree with some of what you're saying Katie and I think it's admirable that you try and find the good in people! I have numerous issues with Obama that I won't get into here but in reference to his religion…he actually denounces the fact that he is a Muslim and proclaims to be a Christian when it is clear to most citizens that he is not! The thing I don't understand however is if there is nothing wrong with the Muslim faith then why not just admit to being a Muslim? Shouldn't a person be proud of their faith and practice it freely without shame? The fact that he hides it is what it worrisome to me…what about it is he ashamed of?! Also, I'm not going to be naive and say that America is innocent of any misdeeds, however as the leader of our country, he should make no apologies when it comes to our sworn enemies…he should be showing them that we are UNITED…after all we are the UNITED STATES! I feel as though he's trying to make us the DIVIDED STATES of AMERICA! Starting class wars and trying to turn us into something we're not is not the HOPE and CHANGE that I want…I just wish others would see thru him and realize that he doesn't have our best interest in mind…he only has his OWN interests in mind! He'll tell us whatever we want to hear to get re-elected! What frightens me tho, is what he'll do if he doesn't have to worry about a re-election…SHUDDER!

    • Donna Franczak /

      You are looking at it thru eyes that experienced the event. But what will your grandchildren get out of that proclamation. I do believe that community service is very worthwhile, nor do I plan on cowering in a dark corner on this day. However, a proclamation should clearly state the events that occurred that made it so important to honor this day. It should include the different emotions, and should include the peoples' response to this event. It should not include a "To Do" list. Future generations need to to be able to read this and know what happened. God knows that we will never forget that day, but our grandchildren must also remember that day. History that is forgotten is doomed to be repeated.

    • Seeing i already raise my children to do unto others as you wish to be treated, days like today aren't a to do list. But just a reminder to continue to love one another. We also do special things for the military on pearl harbor day. Seeing they're 3 & 1 they can't comprehend the events that went on that day but they can recognize that faith and love can impact this world for the better. When they are old enough to understand the significance of today i will gladly share it and express how it changed our nation and how important it is to see and understand why we can never just let it be another day for the books.

    • Tod, I agree with you that it is always good to do good for someone. And yes there is much anger on both sides of the political spectrum, alot of christians, like myself are upset that this president said that we are not a christian nation, but the studies show that we are. But like you said, I feel that he is not for us, You are so wise to see this, most dont. And like you said, we as christians need to walk in love and live as Christ did, that does mean to stand up for what is right in times that it is needed. Tod, I am truely happy to see people like you are still out there….We have our faith in God but we also need to have a little faith in humanity. It is always good to see that the hearts of others are not turned hard and filled with hate. I like to see people doing good things cause it is not of themselves, it is the beautiful heart that God gave them. Alll good things come from the Lord. God Bless. and I am proud of you Tod..

    • Thank you Katie! Some people have such hate for our president that they will search endlessly to find anything in which to discredit him. His leadership these last four years has been exemplary and this call to community service is just another example. It's incredible that someone would even suggest that participating in community service would be an awful way to commemorate 9/11. I wonder what Mr. Starnes would have said if Mitt Romney had suggested we commemorate 9/11 by performing community service? Incredible. I'm just glad that people like Starnes and the people that agree with his statement like the ones I see up and down my screen right now are part of a rapidly shrinking demographic. Can't wait to hear what they all say when the president is re-elected in a couple of months.

    • Yeah, you're an idiot if you think Obama doesn't love God. You are a Republikkkan, so you're uneducated, but that doesn't mean you should be hateful too. Get of Faux Republikkkan News, go educate yourself, you'll go left and never look back.

    • Lynda Jones /

      Amen….and Amen. Just pray that this nation will turn their attention to a Godly man… it's the ONLY way to save America (what's left of what it has ALWAYS stood for)!

    • You didn't read my other other comments…. Definitely not voting for him in November. And definitely not a fan of his current work. But he is my President. Therefore i will respect his authority while he's in office. Yes there's things about the way he does his job that irks me to the core but to simply state to do community service today didn't need the negative press. Its just another ridiculous media attempt to tear someone down. And no republicans are not dumb idiots. We all have different view points. Its the gift God's given us. To have a free mind. What you chose to do with it is you're own. But don't bully others into thinking you're way is the only way. That's no was to get me to "go left".

    • Angie Crouch Macy Deppisch /

      Katie Freeman …what Obama said is one thing…that in and of itself is not a bad thing. The problem is the day he said it and what Obama did not say…those two things are very offensive.

  12. Melissa Mason /

    We should pray for the godlessness of our leaders. Shameful and embarrassed that this man is leader of our nation.

  13. There is nothing that comes out of the mouth of this creature that surprises me anymore. If Obama could get away with it, he would be holding a celebration in the streets.

  14. I'm thinking that we protest too much. I am not a fan of the President, but good golly to take every comment an attempt to find wrong is going overboard. Hopefully he will not be reelected due to the fact that he has been an economic failure; I think his own words were "if unemployment is above 8 % he would be a one-term President" and he should be. Bottom line though is the President is not the evil incarnate that too many of us propose. He is a politician whose views correspond to a group who proposes that government can solve all problems and that the citizenary is incapable of solving problems on their own.

    • Angie Crouch Macy Deppisch /

      That is your opinion Michael Whipple…I do not agree with you. I don't think we have protested enough so when we do protest it appears, as in your words, to be "too much"…"overboard"…No sir, we need to protest even more. But today I will remember 9/11…Today my heart goes out to the family and friends of the victims of 9/11. I will not forget 9/11. Today I thank God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for freedom. May God continue to bless the United States of America.

    • Dane Partridge /

      Michael, I agree that the President is not "evil incarnate." Thanks for that thought…

    • His "evil incarnate" roots grow MUCH deeper than what you suggest.

    • He is a socialist in all definitions of the word and needs to be gone, the sonnet the better!

    • I agree Bill that he needs to be gone, I'm just tired of evey word for either side being examined to mine negatives from them.

    • Angie Crouch Macy Deppisch /

      Michael…how many "words" did Obama speak during the last presidential election…all of which were empty and insincere? Words are important…each and everyone of them…for instance…Pro-abortion…Pro-Life…one word makes all the difference Michael.

    • Richard Hancock /

      His true colors came through today when he suggested that on this solemn day we do community service. Today was not the day to pick up roadside garbage! Today was a day to reflect & remember. Like others Michael, I disagree with your opinion and think that since he is still in office we've not protested anywhere near enough!

  16. Kristy Potter Knapp /

    I agree with Todd. It is a day to pray for those who lost family, strengthen our resolve to protect our freedoms from enemies both foreign and domestic, fly the flag, and remember what makes our nation great. In GOD we trust!

  17. Kristy Potter Knapp /

  18. To say America & our current administration is blind to how this country was built "under God" is like hitting the nail on te head. Issues within the United States go much deeper then healthcare, debt or foreign relations….without a direct connect with God this country is walking & leading blind.

  19. Kelly Brian Lynn /

    Agreed Todd. But what do we expect from him? He has stated this is not a "Christian nation" bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia, where most of the hijackers came from, and can't be counted on to even put his hand over his heart during the anthem or pledge. He doesn't like wearing the flag pin, espeacially overseas becuase he doesn't like what it represnts in his dilusional mind. So what do we expect from him? Where is he today? Not NYC not the Pentagon, nope we get a moment of silnce on the front lawn. He needs to go. He needs to be sure this years "Holiday theme" is "Clean, pack and get out."

    • No he didn't, and you'd know that if you turned off Faux Republikkkan News. Only the uneducated vote republican, that's a fact. The base of th Republikkkan party is the southern states, and every year, the southern states rank the lowest in education. The stupid are the base of the GOP. get off faux Republikkkan news, go educate yourself!

  20. When you suffer loss you don't go read to the blind or pick up litter or perform community service….is this what he does on the anniversary of his mother or fathers death? I doubt it.

  21. Joe Gonzalez /

    I'm also going to remember the Americans who were not Christian, who worship in their homes instead of a church, and those who are atheist who also died that day. And their families. This is one day where we should come together as a nation all inclusive, regardless of personal faith choices. If you think the president's proclamation is "shameful" because of the omission of one word, then the shame falls on you. You are using this day to further divide rather than to find unity among our diversity and come together despite our differences.

  22. Joe Gonzalez /

    Oh and by the way, 5 of 8 9/11 proclamations from George W Bush didn't mention God either. Where was the griping then?

    Pray for our leaders and our nation. I agree with Todd on this one.

  28. Donna Franczak /

    I do not worry that those of us who experienced that day will ever forget. We will spend this day, 11 years later, reflecting and praying – for those who died that day – and that it never happens again. But I am concerned that future generations will read this and not understand what happened on this date and the magnitude of the horror experienced by a nation. This white-washed proclamation does not express the true reason for setting aside this day. We will never forget the one day that there were no hyphenated Americans, no Republicans and Democrats – we were all just Americans clinging to each other, trying to understand. It was an impassioned time and this PC proclamation does not reflect this – and it must – or this date will just become another marking on the calendar.

  29. While I think this preident is a piece of crap and 9-11 was a tradgedy all of you might stop and think about all the innocent people that have been killed by bombs falling fom Allied war planes.Yes they are muslim but for the most part they only know what they have been taught about the U.S. and most certainly played no part in 9-11.They are really no different than most of us.So why don't all of you God fearing praying people hit your knees and say a prayer for them to?

    • Just more America bashing! In your mind it always comes down to what we have done wrong and not what was done to us. Those innocent people you are talking about were dancing in the streets when 9/11 happened. I can't remember the last time I saw Americans dancing in the street because of a tragedy in some other country.

    • Angie Crouch Macy Deppisch /

      Robert Foster…you said, "Yes they are muslim but for the most part they only know what they have been taught about the U.S. and most certainly played no part in 9-11.They are really no different than most of us." Please clarify what you are saying.

  30. Howard Aubrey /

    In other news, the President also failed to mention Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the Great Pumpkin….

  31. There is a time and a place for everything. While service to one's country is noble, President Obama has defined in his second proclamation what he thinks a "patriot" should do in light of the country's enormous heartache. On Sept. 7 his 9/11 proclamation, which includes references to God, urges prayer, etc. His Sept. 10 proclamation, which he has focused all attention on, adds Patriot Day to 9/11 and defines what it means to be a patriot. This is where he leaves out all mention of God. True patriots, we are to assume then, look to each other in their action, and in doing so reflect the double lives many Americans live — thinking they can include God in the rhetoric of convenience, but simply leave Him out of the everyday reality. Todd has articulated well why this approach fails.

  32. I just watched President Obama's speech and he quotes scripture for Christ's sake! What is wrong with you, don't you recognize the Word of God? You should point the finger at yourself. This day is not about politicians or your OPININION. Its about those we lost.

  33. Hateful repubs. even today…..smh!

  34. Joel Rivera /

    McKenyan, in his community organizing mind, will never get it. Just to bad he could trade places with the 911 victims.

    • I would expect a Latino to be above resorting to racial division. I hope you understand that the same GOP hacks who taught you how to toss racial slurs at YOUR president…they toss racial slurs at people like US when we're not in the room. There's no reason to be a bigot, especially if you are a minority. Are you capable of having a conversation without resorting to racism?

    • Joel Rivera /

      Carlos
      I am an American. I have black blood myself and the GOP has nothing to do with how I criticize "your" president. You voted for him, he's your guy, not mine. I'm not in the habit of voting for socialists regardless of what shade they come in so keep on insinuating race, thats what Dems do best. I don't see where you even get any hint of race in my post, but if it's because how I address him, well fact is he is half Irish and Kenyan, so there's nothing racist about that.

    how the flippen heck are all y'all trying to still say muslims did this. there might have been muslims on those planes and maybe it was done in islams name, but the proof is that those buildings were brought down with rigged explosions. remember those murdered Americans, i will. never forget.

  36. Thank you Mr. Starnes for saying exactly how I feel. In fact I called everyone of my senators and congressmen and told them the same thing. I for one will not forget what happened on September 11 even though it seems that is what the Democrats would like us to do and I will also never give up my belief in God even if it will eventually be banned if Obama and his minions win this election.

  45. Glenda LaHaye /

    Remembering such a tragic time as 9/11 is about more than calling on all of us to do community service. Community service, after all, would not have kept the attacks from happening. These things occur on different levels of the spectrum. Do I believe we should take every opportunity given us to offer a hand up? Absolutely. Do I believe we should seek to show the same courage and love of our country the passengers and crew of Flight 93 did? Without a doubt. As a Christian a walk in love should be the only way I travel. But I also understand that comparing the horror of that day to an opportunity for community service minimizes the sadness and loss in a way. Basically he's saying "donate blood. You'll feel better." When what he should be saying is we aren't perfect as a nation but we are something to be proud of.

    Since when is community service exclusive to "garbage pickup"? I vividly remember that on that day we did flock to our chuches to pray to God Almighty and for the first time in a long while we looked to our fellow citizens for comfort because we all felt the same hurt despite our race or our financial status. We came together as a country to stand tall against the murderous bastards that tried to tear a hole in this country. We were UNITED by this tradegy not divided. And on this day some years later it saddens me that so many of you seem to forget we are America the free. Not a choice few but for all. I would hope that on this day you would choose to leave your biased opionions and statment twisting to another day.

  48. Shut up Stearns! You are such a moron. A you are an unsuccessful mouthpiece for the uneducated right (all of them). How dare you use a national tragedy as an excuse to attack my President you pig. I hope someone slaps your dirty mouth today. Un patriotic failure.

  49. Fuck you Todd Starnes and your God bullshit. I'd rather have faith in one another in this country than anything else. It would be nice if we HAD more faith in our fellow human beings.

      Johnny…the news is there for the reading…it is up to you to decide if you are being led astray by the news you choose to listen to or read. You then must live by your choice and so do I.

      Angie Crouch Macy Deppisch, the question then begs to be asked: If you can actually opine that "the news is there for the reading…it is up to you to decide if you are being led astray by the news you choose to listen to or read"—then WHAT explains your knee-jerk dismissal of Johnny's citing of this link–which can PLAINLY be cross-referenced and found on numerous, if not ALL, websites? I mean, this is President Bush's OWN STATEMENT. What–are you insinuating that the news just goes around making up Presidential statements? How does one decide if they are "being led astray" of one cannot even recognize basic FACT? Who's ALREADY "led astray"by their own preconceived prejudices?

      Angie Crouch Macy Deppisch That's not an acceptable reply. Your Conservative leanings are showing–denying that you said what you said or meant it the way you obviously did. Defend your ridiculous statement–the evidence is on the table for anyone to see it. Your back-pedaling to try to sound intelligent after proving that you were just another mislead, Palinesque sheep is noted for posterity.
