Political correctness gone mad at Ground Zero<\/a><\/p>\n

This Sept. 11, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks upon America, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg<\/a> will dedicate the massive, $600 million National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center<\/a>. What Americans have not been told is that this \u201cmemorial\u201d will remake Ground Zero so that it does not acknowledge 9\/11.<\/p>\n

Instead of acting as a constant reminder of the attacks, a symbol for us and future generations of the evil that struck, the death and destruction it caused and the heroism and sacrifice in response, the memorial will wipe out all evidence and memory of the attacks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I haven’t studied this specific issue, but I HAVE visited the Flight 93 site more than once and noted a similar exercise ongoing there. Much of what made that place a true Memorial has been ‘placed in storage’.<\/p>\n

One line in the linked article captures the sense of the effort I’ve seen in action for myself in Pennsylvania, and what appears to be happening at Ground Zero.<\/p>\n

This is like banishing the USS Arizona<\/a> from the USS Arizona Memorial<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m hardly an expert concerning memorials, mind you. When The Vietnam Memorial was in the planning stages I was with “The Black Gash of Shame” crowd. Then I actually saw it! But it’s the names and dates that make it a memorial – NOT the architecture.<\/p>\n

It would seem that 9\/11 doesn’t merit more than some artists rendering?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
