God Help Us!

SRM — stark raving mad!

Grund?

[Dilbert San Diego]

They attack us on Sept. 11th, because we are America, and some politically correct types are offended that someone would raise our flag????

Well, heck, I’m offended that they attacked us on Sept. 11th. So that makes us even, right???? If we’re going to get into a p*((*g contest about who is offended by what.

That image became a US postage stamp.

I display a framed sheet in a book case.

[MeshugeMikey]

.......as well Its should have.

THank you!

[MeshugeMikey]

Absolutely.

Their Madness is Evil to the core.

[Tzimisce]

Instead they went with the pictures of the Occupiers burning the American Flag....

“trying to wrangle any sense out the illogic of the “progressives” logic” leads nowhere.

bottom line theyre evil fools.

IIRC, that is the photo that right after 9-11, the lib's wanted to photo-shop by removing two of the white firefighters and replacing them with a "more sensitive" black and Hispanic substitute.

Wouldn't that have just been so special then !!

From the article:

“I really believe that the way America will look best, the way we can really do best, is to not be Americans so vigilantly and so vehemently,” Shulan said.”

They would also be ok with 3 gay guys, wearing only thongs, raising a rainbow flag.

Just like those 19 firefighters who recently lost their lives in the Arizona wildfires-oh wait, they were all white too. Guess they’ll have to fix that.

[SampleMan]

And the photos of falling bodies were probably excluded for being too real.

Iconic Ground Zero photo was nearly excluded
IIRC, there were three "arguments" against using the photo:

1) Looked staged.
2) Looked too much like the Iwo Jima flag raising.
3) All three firemen were white.

“My concern, as it always was, is that we not reduce [9/11] down to something that was too simple, and in its simplicity would actually distort the complexity of the event, the meaning of the event,” he said.

Progressive leftists disgust me. There was nothing complex about 9-11. It was very simple.

Muslim terrorists attacked America, and killed 3,000 civilians without provocation. End of story.

It was only a complex event in the delusional mind of progressive leftists, who have to jump through all kinds of mental hoops to mold reality to their delusional worldview.

[tet68]

That is the monument they should have gone with.

[drewh]

How about these ones?

100% it still gives me pause every time i see it...
