Looking at the proposed crescent memorial that is depicted above gives me an idea. With just a slight change the crescent can be changed to resemble a bow and an arrow can be drawn from the center pointing towards the heart of Islam, i.e. Mecca. I think that symbol would be far better memorial to the brave people who died on Flight 93.

When I moved here after growing up in the Great White North, I noticed a few subtle differences about Americans. This is one of those differences.

The evidence is there right in your face. The idea someone would try to get away with this would sound absurd to the Average American. And because of that, they're able to get away with it.

This brings me to one of those differences. "If you work in the absurd, no American will touch you." Americans are paralyzed or go into denial like a deer in the headlights when something which seems absurd is coming their way.

On 9/10, if I predicted terrorist would bring down the WTC with hijacked planes, I would have been laughed at by most people. On 9/12, the same people would call me an idiot if I said I didn't see it coming.

I don't know why Americans just bury their heads when someone is trying to pull something absurd on them. It could be arrogance in that "no one would dare try something like that on me deliberately." Or part of it is a fear to commit to making the leap to a conclusion that to someone else could make you sound foolish.

Whatever the reason, to get people to act against it, you have to overcome the "absurdity" factor that make people not want to accept it or address it.

I find it funny a Canadian is going to single out Americans for being in denial and naive.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Whoever's putting the most $$$$ into this memorial is calling the shots with the architect(s).

Here's a suggestion from an attorney: every single person who donated to this thing has a cause of action in fraud and civil conspiracy against the assholes who planned it and the architect who designed it.

I live in Cleveland. I'd be happy to file the complaints pro bono on behalf of anyone who donated to this.

It is fraud, because whoever solicited the money said it was for a memorial, without saying it was a memorial for the TERRORISTS.

And it's conspiracy because the asshats who put this together obviously committed overt acts in furtherance of it.

Let's see how funny this architect thinks it is when he's being sued for millions of dollars and is forced to pay some lawyer half a million to defend the case.

No reasonable jury could conclude that this thing is anything other than a slap in the face to the victims and the people who donated to the memorial.

Got a riddle for you. A widely advertised feature of the crescent design is the "40 Memorial Groves." When controversy over the Crescent of Embrace name first arose, the entire memorial was even briefly retitled "40 Memorial Groves."

Why then does the design only include 38 Memorial Groves?

Hint: the crescent symbolizes the Islamic heavens. Not just anyone can be memorialized there. So who IS being memorialized, and how?

I'll post the answer on my Error Theory blog in next week's blogburst, but try to solve it first!

Another clue is here. Remember, architect Paul Murdoch is an evil genius. The answer is tricky!

Pamela,

Did you know there was a Hussein Obama campaign ad on you main page today? Maybe there's no way to control it, maybe it doesn't matter, or maybe it's good to take his money knowing he's not going to get any support here anyway. It just looked weird--a dhimmi element among all the sanity of your excellent site.

I love your blog. Thank you so much for all the hard work.

Thanks, Pam, for the recognition and link.

Vinnie has a point - some of the money that's funding this thing is coming from the Heinz Foundation.

Regardless, though, just because some heavy hitters are influencing the decisions with their greenbacks doesn't mean the rest of us have to roll over and play dead!

We need to defend those who we're supposed to be memorializing in Pennsylvania, which is the bottom line here.

reliapundit - the astute blogger

the architects who designed this are postmodernist leftists/mutliculti's who dressed up this symbolic trojan horse in highbrow BS and the public is afraid to question their "authority."

it must be stopped.

this design is the equivalent of ahmadinejad laying a wreath at ground zero.

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1

  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.

  • Life has Loveliness to sell,
    All beautiful and splendid things,
    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
    Soaring fires that sways and swing,
    And children's faces looking up,
    Holding wonder like a cup

    Life has Loveliness to sell,
    Music like a curve of Gold,
    Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
    And for your spirit's still delight,
    Holy stars that star the night.

    Spend all you have for loveliness,
    Buy it and never count the cost;
    For one white singing hour of Peace
    Count many a year of strife well lost
    And for a breath of ecstasy
    Give all you have been, or could be.
