Last week I posted on the New York Times editorial which refers to our present terror threat as the "so called war on terror." With that kind of intellectual blindspot, it's really no surprise that you would prefer this memorial to focus on anything other than the atrocities that occured on September 11. But to suggest that this is an issue of artistic free expression whereby any leftwing nut should be allowed to use this sacred ground for his socialist screed is offensive in the extreme!
Governor George Pataki is on the right side of this issue and the heat generated from folks around the country is having an impact. Stay Tuned with this important issue by visiting the Take Back the Memorial site.
If you missed the Bill O'Reilly debate on this issue, TBM has the video.
Keeping Ground Zero Free - New York Times: "In the past few weeks, we've watched a handful of vocal family members, who may not represent a majority of 9/11 families, change the dynamic at the World Trade Center site for the worse. They have begun a movement to 'take back the memorial,' which means, in essence, eventually purging ground zero of its cultural partners, including the International Freedom Center.
This protest resulted in a shocking response in late June from Gov. George Pataki. He openly joined the criticism of one of those institutions - the Drawing Center - for an exhibition that it sponsored, in another part of town, that contains controversial images of 9/11 and America's role in the world. And he has called on all the cultural partners at ground zero for reassurances that their programs will harmonize with the concerns of this small group of family members."
