Peanut Butter Toast and the Destruction of Freedom

59

By breakfastpop

Attention!

Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Wednesday, September 7, 2011. School is in session this morning and the topic for today is "The Destruction of Freedom". Let's prepare some Peanut Butter French Toast and head for class. You will need 1/4 cup milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 pinch nutmeg, 1 pinch cinnamon, 1 banana for each sandwich, peanut butter and 2 slices of bread for each sandwich. Mix together milk, egg, sugar and spices. Set aside. Spread peanut butter on one side of each piece of bread. Slice banana lengthwise and layer it on top of peanut butter. Top with second slice of bread which is spread with peanut butter. Dip both sides of sandwich in batter and fry in buttered pan over medium heat. Wrap up your sandwich and fill your thermos with Cafe Amores. Class begins shortly.

Welcome future leaders of America. Sharpen your pencils this morning because today's session is very important. If you wish to take this nation in the direction it is heading under the Obama administration than do as he does. The 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks is almost upon us. The White House has issued guidelines to government officials instructing them how to observe and discuss this day. Gone is the freedom to remember this day as one sees fit. One of the first things President Obama did upon coming into office was to change the name of this day of remembrance. He sought to diffuse and lessen its meaning by referring to it as a Day of Service as well as remembrance. Never mind that this change did not resonate with the people. The attack on the memory and meaning of September 11th had begun and it was the president himself who fired the first shot.

President Obama wants government officials to remember that terror groups have also killed innocent individuals in other localities across the globe. Never mind that September 11th has not a thing to do with any other terror attacks anywhere in this world. September 11th is about America and America alone. When it is your turn to lead, emulate the president and stress that this really isn't only about the United States. Our enemies will appreciate the attempt to downgrade the importance of this day. After all the goal of this administration and your future administrations is to ensure that America is nothing more than a cog in a wheel.

President Obama has told American embassies throughout the world to emphasize that we honor and celebrate families on every continent. Don't let the fact that this is about Sept 11th and America get in your way. The president doesn't let it deter him and you shouldn't either. Now keep in mind that the president prefers that we not mention Al Qaeda in our ceremonies or discussions lest we upset the Arab world. Try very hard not to mention Islam and terror in the same sentence.

Gone are the days when Americans are free to mourn their loved ones as they see fit. The Mayor of New York clearly likes this trend. He has completely hijacked the ceremony at Ground Zero, eliminating prayer and the reading of the names of the dead. Perhaps he received his marching orders directly from the White House. Should you graduate from school and find yourself mayor of New York, Mayor Bloomberg would be a great person to imitate, particularly if you wish to destroy freedom and make bosom buddies of your enemies.

Today's class gave you much to think about. Of course, if you prefer the America that once was, there is a lesson in here for you too. Class dismissed and God Bless America.

Pop,

Hear, hear. Great Hub. The ability of some political elitists to insinuate their own preferences on us is a disgusting thing to observe. Manage the government and leave the citizens alone!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning, Pop! I believe this administration is simply going by the same theme - appeasing our enemies while we alienate our allies.

Thanks for a great class!

You could call it the shot heard round the Mosques; that would of course be Osama Obama’s Name Change.

The name game nine eleven

Eleven eleven won’t go to heaven

Cause Moslems don’t believe in heaven

Fee fi no unleven

No heaven

Pop; it’s not fair to focus only on America and America alone. Besides remember the immortal words of Obama’s mentor of 20 plus years……..America’s Chickeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeens coming home to roost. Well they flew in from all around the world according to the good Reverend Wright cause America’s been mean to everybody!

All in all we’re just another cog in the wheel

We don’t need no ceremony

For our memory to be preserved

Cause Obama thinks it’s bologna

We jus got what we deserved

All in all we’re just another cog in the wheel

Shhhhhhhhhhh, whatever you do don’t mention Al Qaeda, you may hurt their feelings. Besides everyone it was NASA that flew those planes into the Trade Center, that’s why the Space Program was cancelled; that and the fact there were no Moslem Space Shuttles flying about so it wasn’t fair that we had one; might hurt their feelings!

Pop; just heard, the ceremony will be presided over by a Witch Doctor, a Voo Doo Priest, an Indian Sharman and the Dali Lama; don’t want to offend anyone by involving the traditional religious groups. After all the fact we are a Judeo Christian Country is what got us into this mess to begin with; right?

He’s the Dali Lama-he’s the Dali Lama

Well he was ushered out the back door

Through the garbage out the gate

Yeah he was ushered out the back door

Through the garbage out the gate

Cause old Hu Jintao was coming

Couldn’t see Dali it would be a mistake

We must refer to 9/11 as a Day of Service instead of Remembrance? What utter garbage. Is that 'service' as in servitude to Islam? Must be.

POP: On behalf of the almost 3000 people who died that day, I will not change this to a day of service. I will remember it as the day our country was attacked by Al Quada and Muslims. I will remember the dancing in the streets in celebration of our attempted destruction. Obama can say what he likes but I will remember that Muslims are my enemy.

I'm off to the bar - someone, please, save me a seat....

Um not so sure what the fried banana pb sandwich has to do with this but don't you think you're getting upset over something just to be upset at Obama? Sorry, but I don't get angry when I hear day of service. Doesn't that mean service to our country? Service to our neighbors? Plus, isn't "holding service" something Christians do when they attend church? Nope, not enraged. Befuddled as to why you are.

The president wants to dictate what is said in terms of 9/11 so that he can relieve tensions with Islam. What about shutting up Maxine Waters and Al Sharpton a while and relieve some tension among Americans. Hoffa's remarks regarding The Tea Party were totally not of line and no one on the Democrat side of the aisle was willing to point that out. I shudder to think how much of a tirade would be going on if the situation was reversed. WB

Good morning Tom,

Sorry it took so long to respond. I had to run out for an appointment. As far as this administration's intrusion into our private lives and our thoughts is concerned, it is disgusting and downright scary. I am quite sure President Obama would be thrilled if we would just forget about Sept. 11th. See you at the Inn. Make sure the thought police are not tailing you.

Morning POP...This political correctness is devastating our nation...We, the people, should have our own memorial ceremony and boycott the mayor's attempt to hijack the memory of that tragic day through appeasement and secularization...We were attacked by Muslims, supported by Al Qaeda and Muslim clerics throughout the world...

They attacked us not for economic deprivation, not for imperialistic design, not for self-defense, and not for political advantage...They attacked us for our culture, our rule of Law, our Judeo-Christian heritage...They attacked us because they disagree with our religions...No wonder the feckless, spineless, and accommodating mayor of New York City has secularized the memorial, ignored the 3000 dead, and refused the uttering of a single prayer...Shame on you, New York City...

Your Hub speaks to the hearts of all Americans, especially those that deny any hyphenation when describing themselves as American...Larry

Good morning Patriot,

You just gave a summary of Obama's foreign policy positions in a very amusing way. I guess it is better to laugh than to cry. See you at the Inn. After we are all inside we are barricading the door. It is not safe out there anymore. The thought police and the food police are everywhere.

Good morning drbj,

I believe Obama is trying to make us forget all about the terror attacks. Instead he wants us to simmer down, embrace Islam and do as he says. That day will never come. See you at the Inn.

I stand right beside you. Shame on the president for trying to dilute the meaning of this day in order to appease the very people who brought the Towers down. We must never let that happen and we must never forget. See you at the Inn.

Good Morning Judi,

Welcome to breakfastpop where we share a recipe and breakfast and talk about political and social issues. That explains the peanut butter french toast. As far as President Obama immediately changing the name of Sept 11, I found it to be an attempt to dilute and diffuse the meaning of that day. This day is about loss. This day marks a vicious attack by Muslim extremists on our soil. This day will live in infamy. Three thousand innocent men and women left their homes and went to work on that day and never came home. I live in New Jersey and I saw the smoke fill the sky after the attacks. Some of my neighbors never returned home. This day has not a thing to do with President Obama or what he thinks. It is about all those who lost their lives on that day and the loved ones they left behind. They will mark this day as they see fit and so will the rest of us.

Good Morning Wayne,

Yes, you are right. This is just another apology tour for Obama and i am sick of it. How dare he tell people how to mourn, how to behave, how to feel and think. See you at the Inn. Let's barricade the door after we are all inside safely. It's not safe out there.

Good morning maven,

Your brilliant and heartfelt words cut right to the heart of the matter. Bloomberg is repulsive and his constant attempts to bow to the Muslim community is very telling. He should be barred from any ceremony because he clearly does not view this day the way it must be viewed. It is a Day of Remembrance, not Service, and a day of tragic loss for all those innocent men and women who lost their lives at the hands of Al Qaeda. Thank you for your passion, maven, it speaks to me. I'll see you at the Inn.,

Good Morning b. Malin.

It is a sad day when we have to endure President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg dictating how we should feel, how we should mourn and how we should honor the innocent men and women who lost their lives at the hands of Muslim terrorists. See you at the Inn where we are still free to think for ourselves.

Some of the problem, I think, that some have with the war on terror is it lack as a concrete enemy. by thqt I mean, traditional wars have something like a country to identify as an enemy.We could envision it. An ideology is much harder for people to grasp as an enemy.

Thank you for the explanation on the sandwich. I still don't see how calling it a day of service somehow forces you to stop mourning or somehow puts an obstacle in your way of how you feel you should live on that day. I just think you're blowing it out of proportion. Their is no one saying you can't pray or cry or hug or scream out at the top of your lungs. No one can stop you from that and i really don't think that is what the Obama admiinistartion is trying to do here. Granted, I don't know enough about it to know what he is trying to do, but obstructing you from mourning in your own personal way is definitely not it.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is asking the country to observe the Sept. 11 anniversary as a day of "service and remembrance." He says Americans should find a way to serve their fellow citizens and rekindle the spirit of unity and common purpose felt in the wake of the 2001 terror attacks.

Obama spoke at a White House news conference Friday, a day ahead of the ninth anniversary of the attacks.

He said Saturday will be a day to commemorate not only heartbreak, but also the "enduring values and resilient spirit" of America.

Obama is to attend a service at the Pentagon on Saturday while first lady Michelle Obama will appear with former first lady Laura Bush in Shanksville, Pa.

Pop, as in a recent email, a speaker should announce "on a countdown from 3 every one bark out a false sneeze, like 'ACHEW'" 3-2-1 A BIG ACHEW IS HEARD. Then the speaker says "GOD BLESS YOU", Right in the middle of it all, one good trick deserves repeating at every opportunity, may be across every speaker presenting that day all giving God Bless You in the face of mayor dip-stick and president A-Hole. I believe with some thought by participants, God in which we trust can be brought forward despite any free speech violating orders by any so called American authority. A peaceful demonstration of the right to free speech needs done before the second amendment has to retake the rights provided all Americans. Amen. 50

EXACTLY Pop - what lessons have we learned? To repeat the mistakes of our past. Right now, I guarantee some terrorist just like Bin Laden is sitting crossed legged on the floor with his minions saying, "The United States is a paper tiger..." and plotting to "take us out." Between what this President has done in Iraq and Afghanistan (lately) with this planned withdrawal, before that his "apology to the world tour", instructing all of his people NEVER to say the word terror or terrorist and now this 9/11 debacle (just to take some off the top). It just disgusts me.

It just makes me want to throw up that fine and fattening peanut butter French toast...

Voted UP UP UP all the way across!

Good evening dahoglund,

You are correct. Our enemies are everywhere and that is an awful and unrelenting nightmare. I hope we remain vigilant and smart about it. See you at the inn.

Dear Judi,

Perhaps you should read up about the directions the Obama administration has given to federal employees and after that you should see what Mayor Bloomberg has done to hijack the day and the ceremony. You certainly don't have to take my word for anything.

breakfastpop profile image

breakfastpop Hub Author 8 months ago

Dear 50,

Yes, I agree. God Bless America should reverberate through the streets of New York City. Mayor Bloomberg has no right whatsoever to decide who can speak, who can attend and who can pray. AH-CHOO!!!!

breakfastpop profile image

breakfastpop Hub Author 8 months ago

Good evening cjv,

I feel the same way. This president and Mayor Bloomberg have no right to dictate how the families of the victims, New Yorkers and people from all over this nation should mark this day. How dare they tell them and us what to feel or how to express it. I am beyond disgusted and I believe that it would be best if both of them stayed home.

Despite the wishes of our president and the mayor of NYC, I

will never forget the absolute horror of September 11, 2001.

At every mention of that day, my chest tightens, my breathing changes, my eyes well up with tears. My body responds to mention of the Holocaust in much the same way.

I find it difficult to believe that it's been 10 years since the perpetration of the horrendous acts that occurred that day. I knew people flying in the plane that I watched plow into a building in which my husband worked.

I dropped him off at work innumerable times, always awestruck by it's appearance. I walked in it's concourse, I attended parties at Windows on the World. I knew of some of the people on flight 93 whose courageous passengers fought to prevent another catastrophe in Washington DC.

It was perpetrated by a people who declared Jihad on us. They weren't Buddhists,or Christians, or Jews or Lutherans.

Why are we so politically correct that we are not permitted to narrow the playing field in order to look for the people who might be looking to cause us more harm.

Naturally, there are good people in every ethnic and religious group, but we know our enemy, yet we fail to

use that knowledge to protect ALL of our citizens.

I love this country and everything it has given me. I look to the future for a world that is safer and kinder but is our government going to help us achieve that goal?

Barack Hussein Obama, of his own free will, sat in the pews for twenty long years and listened to a racist, Marxist, fake Christian, 'preacher' God-damning America.

Barack Hussein Obama's wife is also on record avowing that she was never proud of America, until America elected her anti-America husband.

Barack Hussein Obama went on an international tour, apologizing to the world for America's greatness, generosity, and might.

So why are we surprised that Barack Hussein Obama and his liberal buddies like RINO Bloomberg, are trying to downplay the attacks of 9-11 on America and Americans?

The sooner this anti-American loser is out of the Oval Office, the better.

Good Morning Francine,

Right now our country is the hands of a president who would prefer that we blur our memories about Sept 11th and specifically about the Muslims who flew those planes and killed so many innocent people. We have to be strong and resist his efforts and then we have to make sure that he packs his bags in 2012 and goes back to Chicago. If not, we are in deep trouble.

I am no longer surprised by Obama but I will not rest until he is out of office. We simply can't afford to have him in the White for another 4 years. Somehow he manages to insult us, demean us, weaken us or enslave us with each day that goes by.
