SRM — stark raving mad!
Grund?
They attack us on Sept. 11th, because we are America, and some politically correct types are offended that someone would raise our flag????
Well, heck, I’m offended that they attacked us on Sept. 11th. So that makes us even, right???? If we’re going to get into a p*((*g contest about who is offended by what.
That image became a US postage stamp.
I display a framed sheet in a book case.
Instead they went with the pictures of the Occupiers burning the American Flag....
From the article:
“I really believe that the way America will look best, the way we can really do best, is to not be Americans so vigilantly and so vehemently,” Shulan said.”
And the photos of falling bodies were probably excluded for being too real.
Progressive leftists disgust me. There was nothing complex about 9-11. It was very simple.
Muslim terrorists attacked America, and killed 3,000 civilians without provocation. End of story.
It was only a complex event in the delusional mind of progressive leftists, who have to jump through all kinds of mental hoops to mold reality to their delusional worldview.
Blame the victim. It’s not just for cases of rape anymore.
Dear God, please give us a man like Ronald Reagan again. Someone who not only believes in the greatness of America, but moves others to see it also!
Someone at the U.N. must’ve objected...
It sounds as though a bunch of America-haters are running this “museum”. Figures. We don’t want to “offend” the Islamoterrorist murderers who visit there in order to celebrate their “great victory over the Great Satan”.
This makes one wonder how we ever won the greatest war ever. Can you imagine trying to coddle the Nazis or the Japanese while we were fighting them?
What these leftist assholes don’t realize, or don’t want to realize, or will never realize, is that perhaps one photo can sum up an event better than a collage or a book.
I just visited my 93 year old father-in-old in an eldcare recovery home (from a bad fall and hospital stay). To him, and his family (including myself, a Vietnam/Cambodia war journalist and my son, Op. Iraqi Freedom combat vet), Jim’s war was summed up by the American flag flying over Mt. Surabachi on Iwo Jima. It flew over his decimated unit, the 75th JASCO (Joint Assault Signal Company), US Army, Signal Corps.
No other words were needed to understand what it meant.
The same could be said of the photo of the sunken USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor (or the exploding USS Shaw destroyer), or of our men and Philippino troops on the infamous Bataan Death March), or a photo of the gassed and cremated bodies of Jews and Poles at Auschwitz (which included members of my family).
How about the picture of the US Marines charging into Bellieu Woods in WW1, or drawings of Teddy Roosevelt’s “Rough Rider” charge up San Juan Hill? The same for photos the Civil War dead at Antietam or Gettysburg?
Remember the photo of a wounded GI holding the head of another wounded GI in Vietnam? Or of our artillerymen firing 105’s at Khe Sanh?
Sometimes one photograph says it all. The rest, as they say in the news business, is “commentary”.
We have too many “exhibitionists” and not enough “heros” on display. Time to revise this trendy trend.
Something is VERY wrong in New York.
And then this "freedom" tower?? What the hell is that they put on top? It looks like an Islamic minaret. Are they kidding me with this crap? It's a giant trophy to Al-Qaeda.
hey assholes....we ARE Americans, we were attacked by arabs, and screw anyone who can’t handle that fact
