IT SHOULDN'T COME AS ANY SURPRISE THAT GEORGE Soros is neck deep in the disgusting plan to turn the 9/11 memorial into a self-righteous pedestal for every injustice ever done to man by man. His greasy fingerprints seem to be on everything left these days.
Roger Simon has a suggestion for Soros, who has been feeling the heat of the blogosphere as of late.
When attacked by a hail storm of criticism, do what others do and double-down. Why do this in half measures? Why not turn Ground Zero into something that would really make you proud - A Memorial to the Victims of the American Gulag in Guantanamo? And it wouldn't even put a dent in your billions. All you'd need is some barbed wire, some salsa music and a half-way decent copy of the Mannekin Piss in Brussels.
Even Jeff Jarvis at Buzzmachine thinks this is a really, really bad idea.
On my grave, please do not build a memorial to the mistakes of my neighbors and ancestors.
Don't stand on the grass above me and flagellate. Just let me lie there in peace, please.
Oh, and by the way, when you build this center, will you include the atrocities of the Saudis and Saddam Hussein and the PLO and all the tyrants of the Middle East? Will have you have an exhibit about the women there who do not have the freedom to vote or even drive?
Will you build a special wing for the special sickness that is suicide terrorism -- in Israel and in Iraq and at the World Trade Center? Or will you be afraid of offending Muslims?
Well, I'm offended.
The World Trade Center is a place for remembrance of the innocents and victims of that day and for a return to life.
Michelle Malkin points out that none other than Eric Foner is consulting on the project. And why not?
He’s the unhinged Columbia University professor who reacted to 9/11 by griping: "I'm not sure which is more frightening: the horror that engulfed New York City or the apocalyptic rhetoric emanating daily from the White House."
Jarvis adds:
This is the same man who participated in a "teach-in" at Columbia to protest the Iraq war, during which a colleague exhorted students with, "The only true heroes are those who find ways to defeat the U.S. military," and called for "a million Mogadishus."
Does this constitute the last straw I wonder? Have we had enough of the erosion of America and the revision of history intended to put us in unfavorable light? WMD for political gain, Abu Ghraib ad nauseum, Gitmo fantasies, and now the 9/11 memorial hijacked by anti-American forces bent on making sure we don't remember our dead, but instead preach about everything but the horrific events of that day.
That this could even be considered in my country makes me sick.
