Bottom line here I think : If you (Republican, Democrat or Independent-whatever) feel this tribute is important then support it no matter who tries to take away from your honest, heartfelt tribute to our lost citizens. Their lives were stolen away by madmen, monsters who care not a whit about life, freedom, democracy. Honor the fallen any way you choose and critics be damned !! To paraphrase Winston Churchill's admonition to the British public during the war against Germany : Never forget, never forget. Never, never, NEVER!!! Aahhhh……Hhmmmm…… Bottom line here I think : If you (Republican, Democrat or Independent-whatever) feel this tribute is important then support it no matter who tries to take away from your honest, heartfelt tribute to our lost citizens.

I don't think trying to remember our nation's dead is such a revolutionary idea but maybe I'm wrong! Next, if you honestly think remembering 9/11 is stupid then wow, I don't know who can help you. Show some respect. honestly. If not to the CR's at least to the families of those who died on that day. It makes me sick to think anyone would even post something like that. And honestly again unless you are about 199.9% sure that the Drexel College Republicans won't be able to organize the event I would suggest letting that go. The College Democrats are often times much less organized than the CR's so..... and I can pretty much assure you that they will be helped by others if not the Drexel College Democrats. Others who think that a day such as 9/11 should be remembered...... not just other College Republicans. LLoyd,

No matter what there is no chance the Drexel College Republicans are going to organize an event like this, they can barely hold meetings.

If you can't win on the facts, just resort to calling your opponent crazy. I suppose if conservatives were in control of every major national institution and means of news dissemination, we'd have forgotten how to argue too. BroadStreetBully,

On the PACR's calendar of events, on December 7th, we have a Pearl Harbor Remembrance day too.... do all you Democrats have an objection to that one? Are we trying to make some kind of political statement with that day too, or is that one fine to go on with? Lots of people killed there, right? I mean and it was on American soil. So I guess we are using a day like that for our own purposes too. Seriously, I love how tragically silly you all are making stuff like this. Laughing only begins to scratch the surface of it.

Even before the backlash from the Drexel college democrats, it was posted that the event is in no way political and no PACR signs will be present. The PACR website is for a network of people who support their country. It only makes sense that this sort of event would be passed on to these people. It is quite interesting that the college democrats are so against a 9/11 tribute. I always liked to think that both democrats and republicans shared the same honor and respect towards their country, but differed in their opinions of HOW to make our country a better place. If anything, honoring those who died in the September 11th attacks should be something shared between both the democrats and republicans. I find the decision by the Drexel democrats to oppose this event to be in bad taste. What kind of values do the Drexel democrats have if supporting a 9/11 tribute is not one of them? It has seemed that the democrats lately have been opposed to honoring, or in this case remembering those who have served or made a sacrifice for our country. What are the democrats trying to accomplish? Why has this phenomena been occurring? I am unsure. I quote Howard Dean after some discussion about why Barrack Obama did not wear a flag pin, "I will tell you why I wear a flag pin and why I have since I took this job. I want to remind the Republican Party that they do not own the flag. We all own this flag."- Howard Dean. A classic example of a liberal who can’t show support for his country without having his own political agenda underneath. I guess in a way, it is not all surprising that the Drexel college democrats would refuse to join an event to remember those who were affected by the 911 attacks because the liberals have decided that showing support for your country is strictly a "republican thing".

Yet your attack is just a thinly veiled political statement as well. Your Drexel Dems blog also demonstrates that your only basis for argument is that other unrelated groups in the past have taken advantage of such events. So, without any knowledge for how the PA CR's conduct themselves in the community you've taken it on yourself to "call them out" on this and protect people from this organization. I am not a member but I have to say that in my limited interactions with the PACR board and knowing Mike personally, I've found the PACR's to handle themselves with class, dignity and a genuine concern for the community. Why you'd want to discourage a group of people with positive motivation who want to contribute back to the community is beyond me. And as others have said above, It appears that the Democratic party and your posts in particular have reduced themselves to small baseless attacks since the policy stances of your party are poorly thought out or non-existent.

Is that political? Last time I checked on Memorial Day everyone puts flags on the graves of loved ones who died fighting for our country - is that political? Is remembering innocent people and soldiers different? Is one political and the other not? I'm confused...is Memorial Day a republican political conspiracy as well? Maybe we should back track - Are you familiar Memorial Day? Are you familiar with 9/11? Have you ever been to DC to visit the countless memorials? My understanding of 9/11 day and display of flags is showing the same respect the memorials in DC show to our soldiers and other innocent lives lost in war - Are the memorials in DC all to serve political agendas as well? Gee maybe because CRs are respectful to those who lost their lives. Is that political?
