===== VICTORY AT GROUND ZERO
By Michelle Malkin · September 28, 2005 08:13 PM
After a valiant, hard-fought battle, 9/11 family member Debra Burlingame and countless other Americans who joined her have won the battle to protect Ground Zero from the Blame America crowd. For now. Kudos to everyone who wrote, called, and blogged their outrage since Burlingame blew the whistle in June and refused to relent. Via Bloomberg News:
Governor George Pataki said today he will direct development officials to drop plans for a museum of freedom at the World Trade Center site, saying it has stirred ``too much opposition, too much controversy.''The International Freedom Center would have been put in a cultural center adjacent to a memorial for the Sept. 11 victims, and was part of the master plan for redeveloping the devastated 16-acre site of the nation's worst terrorist attack.
In the last several months, some victims' families, groups of firefighters and police officers and public officials said the center, which would feature historical exhibits expressing the worldwide struggle for freedom, would detract from the Sept. 11 themes and provide a possible forum for anti-U.S. messages.
``Today there remains too much opposition, too much controversy, over the programming of the IFC and we must move forward with our first priority, the creation of an inspiring memorial to pay tribute to our lost loved ones and tell their stories to the world,'' Pataki said in a prepared statement.
``I am directing the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. to work with the IFC to explore other locations for the center,'' the governor said.
Reaction from Take Back The Memorial, started by blogger Robert Shurbet, who was inspired by Burlingame, is here.
Reaction from 9/11 Families for a Safe and Secure America will be here.
What's more than a bit disturbing to me is that it took Hillary Clinton's announced opposition to the IFC before Rudy Giuliani and Gov Pataki finally drove the final (we hope) nail into the Ground Zero guilt complex. But better late than never.
Biggest losers: Tom Bernstein, Rich Tofel, and the shameless editorial writers at the NYTimes who had the gall to call critics of the IFC "un-American."

To paraphrase a Robby Benson line from an older basketball movie, "All the way up, coach...with a red-hot WTC 1 GIRDER!"
And a big major bump to Debbie!
Next up: Make the designers get rid of the stupid red crescent at the Flight 93 Memorial..if we can win in NY, we can win at Shanksville. Let's keep the the pressure on.
Excellent news. The victims and their families deserve greater respect than what soros and ilk were trying to pull off.

speaking of truly meaningful, patriotic and respectful, don't miss the video in three parts of True Blackman's speech.
EXCELLENT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!! Big BUMP...BTTTT...whatever it takes! :)
Love ya, Calpernia. :)
"he has less of a chance at the nomination then Rudy does."
And Rudy's chances aren't that great either, so you're right..he wouldn't make it.
The best news I've heard in months.
Yessssss!
This is great news!
How did such a logical decision get made in such a place as NYC? (My dear hometown!)
I don't care and I am not going to question it, I am going to ENJOY it!
Damned Straight, sweetie!
To the "architect" of that appallingly crass POS...
I quote John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn in "True Grit",
"Fill your hand, you sonofabitch!!"
There'll BE a memorial in Shanksville, all right!
And it will look nothing LIKE the bent crescent abomination on the flag of those execrable subsimian, camel-humping, throat-slashing, inbred followers of the baby-raping paedophile false prophet, and the P.R.O.P. {Phony Religion Of Peace}!
How about...
A large Cross on one side
A large Star of David on the other side,
Each facing the other at an angle...
And between them - for the unaffiliated, non/irreligious pagans whom we warmly welcome...
That uniquely American icon of independence and capitalistic spirit...
An oversized Harley-Davidson motorcycle in bronze, backed with crossed American flags on flagpoles, and resting on a large granite monolith emblazoned in larger-than-life chiseled lettering:
"LET'S ROLL!"
I have not tinkered with the layout much but it strikes me a lot of Harley-loving ex-military cops and firefighters capitalism loving sorts that they are would staunchly support such an honorarium
After all, isn't Harley Davidson known far and wide as the "American Freedom machine"?
And don't riders/enthusiasts call the bikes "HOGS", and themselves "Hog lovers" {after the initials for H.arley O.wner's G.uide}
What BETTER WAY to PI$$ OFF the reeking, freaking, hog hating muzzie b*stards?
Is ANYBODY at HD corporate offices reading this?
Better bookmark this one; I think this is actually a damn good idea worth floating to decision-makers!
