This will come as a surprise to no one…This pathetic regime obviously hates our country, our military and our veterans, and God.
D-Day was, by far, the most important day in the 20th century, to freedom-loving people everywhere. Yet the Obama regime objects to having FDR’s prayer to our troops carved on the WW2 memorial.
Obama Regime Says Prayer ‘Dilutes’ WWII Memorial Message
By Bobby EberleThere’s common sense. There’s the faith in God that helped build this country and hold it together through trying times such as World War II. Then, there’s the Obama administration, which appears to lack both of the above. During a congressional hearing on whether to include President Roosevelt’s famous prayer as part of the WWII Memorial, an Obama administration official objected, saying the prayer would “dilute” the memorial’s central message. What is happening to this country?
As reported by Fox News, “Republican lawmakers and conservative activists are expressing outrage after the Obama administration announced its objection to adding President Franklin Roosevelt’s D-Day prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.”
“It is unconscionable that the Obama administration would stand in the way of honoring our nation’s distinguished World War II veterans,” Rep. Bill Johnson said. “President Roosevelt’s prayer gave solace, comfort and strength to our nation and our brave warriors as we fought against tyranny and oppression.”
But Robert Abbey, the director of the Bureau of Land Management, said any plaque or inscription of the prayer would “dilute” the memorial’s central message and therefore “should not be altered.”
“It is not a judgment as to the merit of this new commemoration, simply that altering the Memorial in this way, as proposed in HR 2070, will necessarily dilute this elegant memorial’s central message and its ability to clearly convey that message to move, educate, and inspire its many visitors,” Abbey said in written testimony.
CNSNews.com reports that in trying to cover himself, Abbey said his opposition is not to the prayer itself but that the prayer would “intrude” on the memorial, “something that is technically prohibited by federal law.”
“The Commemorative Works Act specifically states that a new commemorative work shall be located so that it does not encroach upon an existing one. It is not a judgment as to the merit of this new commemoration, simply that altering the Memorial in this way, as proposed in H.R. 2070, will necessarily dilute this elegant memorial’s central message,” Abbey said.
In other words, the Obama administration argues that Congress is trying to create a separate memorial commemorating FDR’s prayer, rather than an addition to the national World War II Memorial.
It’s sad how times change. On the one hand, we have Barack Obama omitting “endowed by our Creator” on several occasions when he has referenced the Declaration of Independence. On the other, we have Franklin Roosevelt who took to the airwaves to ask the nation to pray with him. Here is Roosevelt’s D-Day prayer spoken on June 6, 1944 that Johnson seeks to have included in the memorial:
My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.
And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.
They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.
They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men’s souls will be shaken with the violences of war.
For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.
Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.
And for us at home — fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas — whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them–help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.
Many people have urged that I call the Nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.
Give us strength, too — strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.
And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.
And, O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee; Faith in our sons; Faith in each other; Faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.
With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.
Thy will be done, Almighty God.
Amen.

There is no god but Marx and Obama is his prophet.
Obama is jealous of G-D.
Perhaps the fanatics that claim he’s the antichrist are on to something.
I’d like to think that the antichrist would be a bit less of a doofus, but perhaps it’s all part of the schtick…
@ Bumr50:
Not the Antichrist, just a doofus like you said. The old debate between malice and stupidity again.
Our Muslim-in-Chief does not want a kafir prayer in the memorial celebrating the Muslim’s Great Victory in WWII (why not? The Mohammedans claim everything else under the sun
). This is disgusting, but typical of Obama. Any way he can, he wants to stick it to the Man, the Man being America and Americans.
I was left behind again.lol

FUCK YOU ROVE
@ mawskrat:
Rove hates Cain.
He knows full well that there’s no third party.
@ mawskrat:
What did Rove say/do? I know Rove is a scumbag, but I need more than just a “Fuck You” to go on here…
@ mawskrat:
Block is an idiot though.
Cain needs to either ditch him altogether or hire a spokesman and only allow Cain to work in the background.
I think that Cains fresh influx of cash will change their campaign around.
I agree that Cain never thought that he’d get this far, but I don’t think that it disqualifies him or in any way undermines his competency.
@ Bumr50:
Rove is so in the bag for Romney he probably has wet dreams about the motherfucker. Fine, you know, but I don’t know why Fox News has to make him spokeshole of the official Republican Party line. Last time I checked, I was still a party member, and Rove damn sure doesn’t speak for me…
@ Iron Fist:
He says that Cain must have a third party witness, and he KEEPS saying that Cain has to somehow get the NRA to release these agreements. WTH is he supposed to do???
The current head is a devout Romney supporter and probably doesn’t even know Cain. Legally they’d be stretching out their neck by doing so.
Cain knows that, and so does Rove. It’s probably not going to happen.

@ Bumr50:
By definition, you don’t have a third party witness if you are alone with someone. Is the rule now that it is sexual harassment to be alone with a woman? Gee, the Saudis will like that. PC bullshit will force us to have minders for all our women just to protect us from false accusations. Where is her third party witness to corroberate her story? She is the one making allegations. Are we now guilty until proven innocent?
read that Billy Graham never met

Of course.

From the AP for cripes sake.
I think the attorney is baiting people to threaten his client in attempt to portray her as more of a victim.
He just had a press conference to announce a “bash Herman Cain” press conference organized by attorneys that specifically handle harassment claims.
@ citizen_q:
I have several female doctors, and it has never been an issue before. How do male gyneocologists/obstetricians work? If this is permitted to derail Cain, it raises a whole host of questions like that. Of course, only for Conservatives. Liberals are free to drop their pants and demand blow jobs. We learned that form Clinton…
Well Obama did give back the bust of Churchill to Britain.
Good morning. Yesterdy our Attorney General tried his
best to stonewall a Senate Committe about Fast & Furious.
He absurdly asserted that not only did he not read memos
addressed to him, but he never recieved them!
He then tried to cover his role in the fiasco by claiming
that he can’t know what all employess are doing, like
this is a mail room glitch.
Then as a true sophist he takes a problem that he created
& pushes for stricter gun laws.
With all of this , the front page story above the fold
is Herman Cain.

Yup, and every single one of Cains accusers are just like her, women who used the threat of sexual misconduct suits to advance their careers. Like I have pointed out several times now, out of all the companies Cain has worked for all of these complaints are coming from only one company, and that company is a SEIU dominated company.
Karl Rove may well be chewing on this like a BBQ’d rib bone, but it’s origins are pure Democrat, pure Union, pure Purple shirt goon. This is undoubtedly a smear right straight out of the Whitehouse, pure Chicago styled politics because Cain genuinely threatens to strip 50% or more of the African-American vote away from the Marxist-in-Chief.
@ RIX:
Maybe someone should find some sexual harassment allegations in Holder’s past?

@ Calo:
@ lobo91:
None of the female doctors I have has ever bothered with such a thing. Should I be worried? I am dead serious. This is Crazy. Basically, we are at the Saudi level, where women need a minder to be there at all times. What happens if the minder and the woman are alone together? Maybe we need two minders per woman. That will help cut into the unemployment rate…

I see Fox News is not reporting about Kraushaar’s history of complaints and the veracity of them, but is content to leave the upcoming “press conference” an open-ended mystery.
It’s an AP item, after all – not speculation.
Shoddy. Decidedly not fair and balanced.

I guess he’s another that’s content to sacrifice a candidate to the wolves in the interests of the “party image,” the same image that is constantly on the defensive precisely BECAUSE we allow the media to dictate our policy and candidates.
