It's the basis of the entire website. If it's a bad analogy then doesn't this whole website and it's motto become worthless? We were stuck togther in fear and the unknown on 9/12/01. We were also extremely prejudiced against middle easterns on 9/12/01 but I'm sure everyone would like to forget that part, or maybe that's part of the motto also.

I still don't understand the togetherness of this website. It mentions God, which is a devisive force in itself regarding community and government, and that happens to be an important talking point of this website. What about atheists? Are they not welcome to this 9/12/01 re-enactment barbeque? Or did they just not exist 8 years ago?

We were stuck together by national pride and American values.  We did not give a rat's ass about party, idealogy, about what my neighbor did with my lawnmower, or what have you.  We were essentially one...a country with high hopes for the future.  Now we are a complaining country debating who is to blame at every thing gone wrong whether it is gas prices, the economy, or not enough ketchup on our fries.  It is utterly rediculous to think that we cannot get together for the benefit of the country. If we cannot, then the future of the USA is that of a fragmented, anarchist state where chaos rule supreme and the majority is cast aside for the supremacy of the few.  History will be repeated and out of the ashes we will face a decision: do we work together or do we abandon all hope for a better tomorrow for ourselves and our posterity.  I would rather choose the former 110% of the time.

 

This is the rationale of the site.  It may contain one-liners about things that draw in conservatives (God, nationalism) but it is about something grander--it is about how do we as Americans look for a better tommorow.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the voter turnout last year the highest since since the 1968 election? I'm pretty sure the american people made their choice last year, and I was there to experience the election. And I have no doubt Obama is the right person to bring America back on track, certainly not the conservative nationalists who thinks they need to "take the country back"...

From who? Your fellow countrymen? The people who shed tears of joy when Obama was elected?
