The Anti-Americans Are At It Again
9-11 was the Pearl Harbor of the 21st Century. Approximately 3000 innocent men, women, and children were murdered by a pack of Islama-fascists who had been fueled by a lifetime of heresy-inspired hatred for the United States of America. But instead of achieving success, these terrorists ultimately failed. Similar to December 7th, 1941, the attacks on September 11th signaled not the doom of a strong America, but the waking of a sleeping giant whose beneficent leadership had been missing from the world stage for far too long. Because of the subsequent determined leadership of President George W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, terrorist thugs, and the regimes that provide support to them, have been captured, killed, or toppled around the globe. The results have been immediate and impressive. The Middle East, now liberated from tyrannical regimes like the Taliban in Afghanistan, and Saddam Hussein in Iraq, is changing for the better. True democratic reforms are taking place, as in Iraq, weapons are being laid down, as in Libya, and even the ever turbulent relationship between Israel and the PLO has calmed greatly as regional terrorist networks are disrupted by our efforts.
This is the true legacy of 9-11. Not one of Islamic tyranny, but American liberty.
But will you hear about any of this at the proposed World Trade Center Memorial Cultural Complex, as designed by the International Freedom Center (IFC), that is to be built upon Ground Zero?
I am afraid not.
You see, a handful of America-hating Leftists have seized ideological control of IFC planning, and is proposing to build a 300,000 square foot center that does not honor the heroes and victims of 9-11, but rather seeks to ?blame America first?. As detailed in an excellent Wall Street Journal Op-Ed piece by Debra Burlingame (http://takebackthememorial.org/?p=6), the likes of prominent America-haters, such as George Soros and Eric Foner, are planning on constructing a monument that will focus upon ?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 and beyond.? What, exactly, does any of this have to do with 9-11? The answer, of course, is nothing. The radical anti-patriots are clearly using their favorite rhetorical tactic of ?bait and switch?, a ploy that is all too necessary for the Left when the majority of Americans don?t want to buy what they are selling. In this case, they pretend to honor the American victims of 9-11, but instead switch the discussion to their favorite hobbyhorses: alleged American failings and the trumpeting of globalism.
Needless to say, Ground Zero is not the place for such discussions. It has been consecrated by the blood of the heroes and victims of 9-11. As such, any memorial must be exclusively focused upon these patriots and the great, liberty-loving nation for which they died.
Fortunately, it is not too late to act. Visit http://takebackthememorial.com/ for how you can make a difference and prevent the enemies of America from marring what will be a hallowed site for generations to come.
