Why is it, that the sickest whackjobs in this nation seem to have gained prominence in the planning of the memorials?
Damn, could we not find a few good citizens to do us proud? Evidently not. This crescent idea is just plain sickening.
That is the most sickening sight I've seen in a while. The very memorial intended for true heroes, men who fought back against the Muslim savages, is a capitulation to the enemy. The Leftist nutjobs who control the arts in this country are nothing less than traitors. If the arts of a society represent the heart and soul of its culture, or are in any sense a bellwether, our country is in a free-fall.
Hmmm. The National Park Service had this on it's website. Now I can't find it.
...Let's set aside the utter boneheaded-ness of using a symbol that, inadvertently or not, commemorates the killers' faith instead of the victims' revolt. The soft-and-fuzzy memorial design of "Crescent of Embrace" still does injustice to the steely courage of Flight 93's passengers and crew. It evokes the defeatism embodied by those behind a similar move to turn the 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero in New York City into a pacifist guilt complex.
This is no way to fight a war. Or to remember those who have died fighting it.
A proper war memorial stirs to anger and action. We all remember passenger Todd Beamer's last heard words as he and his fellow Americans prepared to take back the plane from al Qaeda's killers, don't we?
No, the phrase wasn't "Let's meditate." It was "Let's roll."
Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !
This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately on my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.
Tunisian Flag
This is what it looks like when we lay the memorial design (made transparent) on top of the Islamic crescent:
As is plainly visible, they are almost identical.
This CANNOT be allowed to happen!!! How is Take Back the Memorial doing??
I don't see what is wrong with this. What better way is there to show who is responsible than by making it in the shape of a red crescent?
I vote for no more memorials.
I am glad this came out; it's the 1st I've heard of it in the news and such. Outside the Pittsburgh paper I've heard nothing about it for a week.
Id only found the thread about it last week here; I posted links to a couple actual articles in it. A preacher is mad about the whole thing; maybe we can team up w/him. Petitions or something, besides contacting the idiots.

She says the memorial design should go on as planned. None of the families members of the folks who died in the crash object to design either.
