Our history has been whitewashed and written with omissions and embelishments to produce a mindset in the American people.
One example:
Tell someone that the largest slaveholder in SC during the Civil War was a Black man whose sons fought with the South and they will look at you like you came from another planet and just made that up because the history books only have White slaveholders.
purposefully omitting something is rewriting history?
it's a war memorial. of course it isnt going to tell the whole story.
does the plaque give any credit to the filthy communist Russians for getting to Berlin first?
No?
God damn it Obama!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd wager that if it were a speech rather than a prayer you'd have no problem with it.
If you don't preserve history it will be lost to future generations.
History is what's happened. Period. Why should liberals try to change anything? It's pretty sorry that any group of people would want to waste time trying to make others think that what's already happened and done hasn't really happened at all. Guess what? What's done is done. Leftists need to find better things to do.
If it is so all-fired important as a part of history, why wasn't it included at the time of the memorial being built? How come it's taken 60 years to think of this "historicaly imperative" addition?

Just ask'n.
Maybe it used to be in history books and got removed because it was a prayer...
Michelle Obama's promise to rewrite our history has now become a reality.

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is opposing legislation that would add President Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. At a House hearing Thursday, Robert Abbey, director of the Bureau of Land Management, said a plaque or inscription of the prayer that Roosevelt read on a radio broadcast to the nation on June 6, 1944, would "dilute" the memorial's central message. As U.S and allied troops launched the invasion that led to the defeat of Nazi Germany, FDR asked the nation to join him in prayer. He then asked God to give the allied troops courage and faith, saying, "With thy blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy." A World War II veteran, 87-year-old George "Poppy" Fowler, told a House committee that the prayer should be added to the memorial. He said, "This prayer came at a perilous time, yet it was answered in victory at a dear cost of lives." The legislation calls for the plaque or inscription to be paid for with private donations."

Does this latest salvo of US history suppression endorsed by the Obama administration and foretold by MO, cause you any concern about the direction the Obama regime is trying to force the country?
While the ACLU has been active before Obama, representing various anti Judeo-Christian groups, the speech by MO and the flood of attacks by federal agency heads on various war memorials , some located in remote desert and mountain areas, suggest a link between MO's words and a conscious attempt to rewrite US history?
The Obama administration has been more effective at rewriting our history than creating jobs...
You might credibly accuse the OA of "re-writing history" if they were going around removing inscriptions from monuments. But in this case, they are opposing ADDING a new inscription to an existing monument.
In this case, I think the objection may center around the reference in FDR's prayer to "the unholy forces of our enemy". That may be what FDR said at the time, but it may seem kind of silly and provocative to add an inscription that needlessly impugns our important ally Germany, nearly 70 years after the fact. As some one else said in the thread, if FDR's prayer was that big a deal, they would have added it at the time the memorial was commissioned.
That means, whoever is advocating for ADDING the inscription is the party actually involved in the attempted re-write. In this case, the House Republicans. Without thinking about it too hard, I bet they don't give a rat's ass about our fallen troops,or they would have policies that took better care of our current ones.
This sounds more like part of their general on-going campaign of these lovers of the Constitution to "Christianise" our daily lives by slapping their icons up on public land, in violation of the 1st Amendment (crosses, prayers, the Ten Commandments, whatever...) They are just up to their usual Christian ass-kissing, time-wasting mischief.
Maybe if the GOP paid less attention to this crap, and more to helping getting our people back to work, they wouldn't lose the House next year

But if it were a speech and not a prayer then it would be ok ?
Chairman Obama and his ilk need to be purged from our midst.
Is a myocardial infarction too much to ask for?
So the Right is reduced to praying God strikes our president dead?
Of course, they way the GOP "candidates" look, that may be their only chance...
