Ground Zero May Escape Leftist Desecration
Posted by Dave Blount at July 15, 2005 10:02 AM
The New York Post via Yahoo! News reports what could be a positive result of resistance to the International Freedom Center and the Drawing Center — a pair of potential forums for anti-American propaganda that leftists have had the appalling audacity to plan to build at Ground Zero. The Lower Manhattan Development Corp. has announced it is seeking alternate sites for the museums.
However, whether an alternate site will be chosen remains to be seen. LMDC Chairman John Whitehead says that "it's not likely" another site will be found..
As the Post points out:
More than a few New Yorkers were mortified by the original LMDC plan, which would have allowed the IFC and Drawing Center to become forums for America-bashing — at the very site where the nation suffered its worst attack — by America-haters.
Governor Pataki has attempted to quell dissent by promising to censor flagrant anti-American propaganda. But few people want censorship. What they want is for these incongruous "cultural centers" not to be built at Ground Zero.
In any case, it's doubtful Pataki could effectively implement his censorship promise. Representatives of the Drawing Center are already on record that they will not "change their mission" no matter how inappropriate decent people — Pataki included — may find it. Besides, he won't be Governor forever.
The IFC promises not to go over the top, but the project is being headed by moonbat Tom Bernstein, whose Human Rights First group is suing our Secretary of Defense on behalf of terrorists. Bernstein and his IFC co-conspirators are now taking guidance from the Aspen Institute — a flaky think-tank that has Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the USA on its board of trustees.
At least getting Saudis involved has some relevance to 9/11.
The Post suspects that LMDC and/or Governor Pataki are trying to fake people out, and that there is no serious intention to relocate the IFC and Drawing Center abominations. Let's hope it's wrong.
