On Memorial Day ...three Marines ...were joined ...for a ...ceremony at ...Ground Zero...
The [WTC] Memorial will break ground this year. When those Marines return ...the year it is ...to open...they will expect to see the artifacts that bring those memories to life...
Rather than a ...tribute to our ...loss, they will get a slanted history lesson, a ...lecture on the meaning of liberty in a post-9/11 world. They will be served up a heaping foreign policy discussion over the greater meaning of Abu Ghraib...
The [WTC] Memorial ...will be an imposing edifice... The organizers of its principal tenant, the International Freedom Center (IFC), have stated that they intend to take us on "a journey through the history of freedom" -- but do not be fooled... The public will ...be given a ...tutorial about man's inhumanity to man, from Native American genocide to the lynchings and cross-burnings of the Jim Crow South, from the Third Reich's Final Solution to the Soviet gulags...
The public will ...feel hoodwinked... Most of the cherished objects which were salvaged from Ground Zero ...will never return... But the International Freedom Center will have ample space to present us with exhibits about Chinese dissidents and Chilean refugees...
The driving force behind the IFC is Tom Bernstein...
...it was Mr. Bernstein's organization, joined by the [ACLU], that filed a lawsuit ...against Donald Rumsfeld on behalf of detainees... filed an amicus brief on behalf of alleged "dirty bomber" Jose Padilla... called for a 9/11-style commission to investigate the alleged torture of detainees...
...the IFC's list of those ...influencing the content ...for their Ground Zero exhibit includes a Who's Who of the ...Guantanamo-obsessed world...
Michael Posner... Anthony Romero...of the ACLU... Eric Foner, radical-left history professor... George Soros....
Ground Zero has been stolen... How do we get it back?

Looks like our tax dollars are again being wasted to fund liberal propaganda, and to undermine the sacred ground at the former WTC site.
This Tom Bernstein is not only a Yalie, like Bush and Kerry, but...
"Tom was one of the lead owners of the Texas Rangers Baseball Club."
There should be a huge nationwide protest about this, but to whom do we complain? Who can do anything about it?
It would appear that the Twin Towers have been attacked again by Political Correctness, the constant drum beat of the “Ugly American”. I hope and pray all the Fire Fighters, all emergency people and those who lost a family member or friend, will rise up and condemn the Lower Manhattan Development Corp, Tom Bernstein, and the ACLU. It is beyond preposterous to use Federal Funds for this and New York tax dollars, it is down right Criminal!
"...Ground Zero has been stolen... How do we get it back?..."
By brute force. It's the only thing these pricks understand. They're as much a terrorist as the SOB's were that destroyed the WTC, Damaged the Pentagon, and left a hole in the ground in Pennsylvania.
Format...unbearable...reading difficult...must...
Bill Bennett had this author on his program this morning.
This one needs bumping.
I... really hope... somebody... steps up... to the plate... and puts an end... to illiberal... garbage... like... this... Spock... stop me... before... I ellipse... again...
Kirk... out....
I thougth this was going to be a bout the 200 meg in gold bullion in the basement. Did that ever get recovered?
The author of this article:
"Ms. Burlingame is a member of the board of directors of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation and the sister of Charles F. "Chic" Burlingame III, pilot of American Airlines fight 77, which was crashed at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001."
I heard this woman on Bill Bennett's program this morning. She is looking for us to get involved and raise some sand over this issue.
C'mon Freepers!
You know, that comment
would fit in dozens of threads
we see every day.
Sick.
Puking.
BUMP
Ping list material!
