| #17 That said, Flight 93 Advisory Commsion member Tim Baird is on record as admitting that the commission was well aware of the orientation of the memorial, and that since noone could prove "intent", they had inention of halting the project. You see, if us rubes visit the memorial without any knowledge that is desinged as a mosque, then no harm / no foul. |

| #16 Unfortunately,the National Parks Service has not been helpful in this...and they are very insistent on moving forward with the design as is. Would be good to know the tax dollars were alloted to this project. Who makes that call? |

| #15 Yep, Ed. Get your pitchforks sharpened, folks. Meanwhile, take names. |

| #14 Who is still insisting using our tax dollars to fund this atrocity? There is your target for the pitchforks. |

| #13 Well, who knows, it may be just the dhimmi thing, albeit I have a hard time to conceptualize or understand what would be compelling to be/become one. |

| #11 This "memorial" is an abject abomnination. lotp: Be a real pity if this thing got blown up every time they tried to build it. Noboby accused you of advocating violence. And so what if they did? Why apologize for what you think and know to be right? It would NOT a pity if Paul Murdoch, the designer of this piece of sh*t, were to be found dead with a bullet lodged in his brain. Then the apologists for muslim barbarity can build their crescent of This "memorial" - as currently conceived - must be stopped by any means necessary. To start with, write your congressional representatives. Tell them to get off their asses and do something worthwhile: they still have a chance to put a stop to the desecration of the memory of the first 40 who fought back on 9-11. |

| #10 If they build if knock down four of the blocks. Oh and Gravailing Lord, I'm with you. When do we start? |

| #9 Why? The benign explanation: the designer is an artist and knows his vision better than us peasants, his patrons. After all, Michaelangelo knew art better than the Medicis. The not-benign explanation: you already know that one. |

| #8 I've taken part in a regular blog burst on this... and it's quite clear that the designers (despite some cosmetic changes) have every intent on keeping the original design / purpose. Why resist so strongly in the face of overwhelming public outcry? hmmmmmmmm |

| #7 At some point the patience of the general public is going to break and then there will be an almighty backlash. Not just against this evil travesty, the men who designed it and their enablers. Already there. I advocate violence and lots of it. It is the only thing that is going to solve the problem and force the Left into hiding. First the traitors, then the enemy! |

| #6 lotp: Right there with you. It is not advocating violence to argue the blindingly obvious: At some point the patience of the general public is going to break and then there will be an almighty backlash. Not just against this evil travesty, the men who designed it and their enablers. At that point there will be violence, many innocent people including law enforcement doing their job as best they can are going to get hurt, and a great deal of the blame will reside with our elected officials, media and academic establishment who failed to act - who prevented action - when some resolution early on could have prevented the whole thing. I only see two ways out of our current situation. Either the West dies in a war of attrition against a resurgent Umma and civilization is left to China and India to defend. Or the West undergoes a German-style phase change, ultra-nationalist coalitions take power and an historic genocide takes place against tens of millions of people. Several years ago I hoped President Bush offered the last best hope of a third way through: A democratized middle east and an Arab world that keep live in peace with its neighbors. I would not hold a candle out for his chances of succeeding now. He has ceded too many fronts in his quest for Saudi oil, temporary stability in the global economy and the good will of constituencies who will call him stupid and evil beyond the grave no matter how many times he grovels and calls Islam a religion of peace. |

| #4 And no, I'm not advocating violence. But there has got to be some way to make this use of public monies, this travesty being erected in our name, accountable to us. Either that or kill the damned thing. |

| #2 Every iota of this original Crescent of Embrace design remains completely intact in the so-called “redesign.” That is why Congressman Tancredo asked the Park Service this autumn to scrap the existing design entirely. Instead of getting rid of the giant crescent as Tancredo demanded back in 2005, architect Paul Murdoch only disguised it with a few surrounding trees. Also remaining are those damned 44 glass blocks on the flight path. (There were forty passengers and crew and four Islamic terrorists on Flight 93.) I'm going to throw up. |
