Once again I pop my head up from my busy life. I'm currently contemplating the future of this blog but here's something I wanted to put out there for those who happen to find their way here.
Over at Cox and Forkum is their latest editorial cartoon regarding the proposed International Freedom Center which is slated to be a part of the September 11 memorial at Ground Zero in New York. The IFC, as noted in this WSJ article, will present to visitors, "a memorial that stubbornly refuses to acknowledge the yearning to return to that day. Rather than a respectful tribute to our individual and collective loss, they will get a slanted history lesson, a didactic lecture on the meaning of liberty in a post-9/11 world. They will be served up a heaping foreign policy discussion over the greater meaning of Abu Ghraib and what it portends for the country and the rest of the world."
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has come out in opposition to the IFC, as has Senator (and likely 2008 presidential candidate) Hillary Clinton. Hopefully Governor Pataki and the others involved in this decision will listen to the will of the people and cancel plans to build this memorial to apology and moral relativism on that sacred ground.
