I don't know much of anything about the project, and won't bother, either. I'm sure it has something to do with being nice to one another and acting like a unified nation, but if that's the case, why not call it the unity project?
Please, someone, if you can actually rationally explain to me how the name of the project is not completely exploitative, I'd appreciate it. I'll even be willing to read what you write about the project if that's the case. But I'm not going to go back through this thread and read all of the back and forth. Feel free to post a quote from earlier in the thread, but only if it pertains to my question. I don't care about too much detail about the project, only about how it is related to the events of 9/11, because from what I've heard, it has only to do with exploiting the perceived emotional response of "unity" immediately following the attacks.
First of all, I have to say that your insults of the man make no good impression of yourself. You talk about kneejerking, when it seems that a bit of practice what you preach seems in order here.
Now, to meet your challenge for answering your question. Stop and think for a minute about how you felt on September 12, 2001. If the world didn't change for you, then you were not paying attention. If you actually lost someone in the attacks, then I cannot begin to fathom how you must have felt, but for the rest of us, it was a dumbfounding feeling. Flags were displayed, partisan differences were put aside and we all felt differently about each other. I recall looking at a stranger on the street and really feeling that he was my countryman. That there was no difference between us. We both had to recognize that WE were attacked, no matter our differences, we were both small parts of the Bigger picture that was America, and we had no idea what had just happened to us.
In the first days after 9-11, there was unity. We were all waiting for the details of the attack to come out so that we could do something, as a nation, about what had happened.
Surely even you can see that we are in that same boat again. We are on the verge of a complete economic melt down, and you have to know that the same mistakes are being made now that were made right before the great depression. There are forces at work, namely socialists and communists that are pushing an agenda right now that will ensure the breaking of the American will. Our liberties and freedoms are at stake and I agree with Glenn Beck, we need to have that same feeling that we all had on September 12, 2001. We need to stare the fear down, and find the resolve to take back that which is rightfully ours.
No, not national health care, or trillion dollar deficits, but the rights that are afforded to us under the Constitution of the United States, that document that Obama seems to be attacking daily, while bowing down to Arabian kings, and slandering our nation to the European G20 elite. It is time that we, as Americans, took responsibility for our actions, and earn what we get.
Glenn Beck is honest in his belief of these values, and I think your comments about him make you look like a belligerent fool.
