Why Deleated?????

[beppington]

Where is the Political Forum? I thought it was The Front Porch...

Are you being serious? I thought for sure you would be aware of the "Friendly Politics" sub-forum of The Front Porch ... ?

Thanks for responding, but I'm not understanding how World War Two falls under the banner of political content? Is it something someone is offended by? Something someone is embarrass by? After all it is about Veterans Day, and we should be honoring that day and those who fought for our freedom so what could be the beef, huh Muhammad? If in wrong place, then by all means move, but delete, come on!

Methinks that the reason that the story could be deemed political was that was about "Obama Administration Opposes FDR Prayer At WWII Memorial"
A a thread about "Should the FDR prayer be included at the WWII memorial?" would be less political.

Are you being serious? I am, where is it? And how do you get there? I mean really how many have seen Bri move threads all the time that were in the wrong place? I thought for sure you would be aware of the "Friendly Politics" sub-forum of The Front Porch ... ?

Nope, I wasn't aware of that forum. I am now though...
I was one of those who, when asked if there should be such a forum (this was several months ago), said politics didn't belong on TBN...so, never really looked for it.
Even the thread that instigated my "awakening" wasn't really political, in my opinion. But it was controversial.

Go to The Front Porch forum & "Friendly Politics" is a sub-line aka sub-forum at the upper left ... above the main list of threads.

Call me crazy, but when I hear of something like this that just doesn't sound right or is unreasonable, I check it out on TruthOrFiction.com-Is that forwarded email Truth or Fiction? Research into stories, scams, hoaxes, myths, and urban legends on the Internet or snopes.com: Urban Legends Reference Pages.
Both websites report that the e-rumor about FDR's prayer and the WWII Memorial is false. You can see what snopes.com says here and make up your own mind: snopes.com: Missing Words from WWII Memorial

I think you're mixing up the addition of FDR's prayer on D day to the WWII memorial with the false rumor that an FDR quote already on the memorial was misquoted.

You are right. Thanks for the correction. Here's something I picked up on the D-Day prayer:

BLM Director Abbey said the Interior Department opposes the addition of the prayer because it would detract from the memorial痴 purpose to honor the service of American troops in World War II.

典he Department strongly believes that the World War II Memorial, as designed, accomplishes its legislated purpose to honor the members of the Armed Forces who served in World War II and to commemorate the participation of the United States in that conflict, Abbey said.

Abbey said opposition to the prayer was not a judgment of the prayer itself. The Interior Department opposes its inclusion, he said, because it would 妬ntrude on the WWII Monument, something that is technically prohibited by federal law.

典he 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痴 central message, Abbey said
