I think this is my first "succesful" thread. Contacting Rendell is probably useless, knowing him. For PA residents your local reps are a good idea. PA has a lot of vets and they know it.
Kinda glad I didn't drive home to Wilkes-Barre. I would've felt dirty crossing the state line.
I'm with ya Ops. Be more fun than grad school. |

Here is the official website:

I showed the picture to several of my Art classes yesterday. I didn't tell them what it was and asked them to tell me what they thought it looked like. In each class, they came up with "Islam".
Then I told them what it was for. They all had the same thoughts as are expressed here . The analogy of a "rising sun" over the Pearl Harbor memorial was made by several.

Not true really. You can contact your senators and reps as well as the national parks services, and express your displeasure. Not that it will do a whole lot, but elections are coming up sooner than you may think. thay might help put some pressure on them for action. I do live in PA, unfortunately still don't have a bulldozer of my own... Follow the lead set by some other posters here, contact local media, national media, and your elected officials, it's not much, but it's a start. |

This really doesn't surprise me. Every "arts council" in every city in the forsaken country is dominated by leftist elitists who stick it in the eye of the great unwashed every chance they get.
If I were to create a piece of "art" that was a page from the koran with dogshit and blood all over it and try to get .gov funding to exhibit it in some public museum, I would be arrested. Now, swap out the koran page for Jesus, Ronald Magnus or the Statue of Liberty, and I'd be the toast of the fucking town. Just once I would like to crash one of their cocktail parties with ten people with axehandles and create some "performance art."

Fuck the whole memorial thing anyway. .gov buys all the land around there for this poject, land that I hunt, land that locals hunt, land that was open pretty much for atv riding, etc. Guess what? None of that going on anymore once this thing goes up. The road that runs up to the site used to be a quiet country road, now every weekend it is packed with people driving from all over to see an empty field(abandoned strip mine) with a chain link fence around it. Real estate being bought up by city people and then they get all pissed when they see people walking down the raod with a rifle or shotgun during hunting season, no BS this really happened!
A memprial? What a waste. We have a memorial, many actually. The graves of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen killed fighting the motherfuckers aroundt the globe. Memorial.... What a fucking waste.... |

Follow the links. They lead to Islamic sites where you can determine the direction to pray towards Mecca for various cities. That's the direction for Pittsburgh, PA. |

The architect who designed the Flight 93 memorial has been commissioned to do one for the victims of hurricane Katrina
 New York—The man in the middle of the controversial, Flight 93 memorial is extending his prolific creative talents southward. Paul Murdoch, architect of the disputed “Crescent of Embrace” has also made a galley proposal to New Orleans officials, called the “Ligature of Lamentations.” Critics say the memorial’s architectural basis gives on the feel of a noose—the type of strangulation device use to lynch African Americans less than 100 years ago. “If one wants to parse long enough, I suppose I could see anything in that diagram, “says Murdoch. “But again, those that want to impute negative significance to this will do it no matter what I say about it.” Murdoch says the memorial’s elliptically-shaped and segregated wading pool symbolizes the “endless circles” FEMA authorities were seen running in during the first hours of the crisis. “To see anything other than that is just preposterous. Nest thing you know, they’re going to say the wading pool is insensitive by itself.” Murdoch’s Shankville, Pennsylvania memorial design is still in dispute, as some say they can see a similarity between Islam’s red crescent, and the red crescent shape of the memorial, which uses the name “Crescent” in its title. “If they get away with censoring this,” he says, “Then they’ll be able to stop me from marketing my acrylic, Anne Frank Attic Storage units. And that’s a day I don’t want to see.” politicaltherapy.blogspot.com/2005/09/flight-93-memorial-designer-to-lend.html |

Unbelievably, it is true. I just confirmed it for myself. Start with the coordinates of the crash which are 40.052 N, 78.8963 W (+40° 3' 7.20", -78° 53' 46.68"). You can see on Google Maps that this is just north of Shanksville-Stonycreek:  Then download the site plan for the "Crescent of Embrace" memorial from the official memorial website (note that north is straight up):  Next go to one of the websites that calculate the Qibla (direction to Mecca) given a set of latitude/longitude coordinates:  Finally, overlay the pointer to Mecca (55° 10.92´ from true North) onto the site plan:  The same image with the pointer lengthened and a right-angle cross-bar drawn so you can more easily see how it touches the ends of the crescent:  Words fail me. What is wrong with America?

Here is what it looks like if you overlay the Islamic red crescent from the flag of Tunisia as others have done in other forums:
 Decide for yourself. Unsurprisingly, at some sites there are people defending the design with all sorts of misconceived liberal blather. They have such indefensible positions that they are reduced to bizarre claims like "The trees must be planted in a crescent because if they are planted in a complete circle some will die out due to shading from others until they naturally form a crescent." Yes, I've noticed how all the forests primeval are filled with trees growing in naturally shaped crescent patterns.  |

The only thing worse I could think of would be for some group to build a mosque right in the middle of the crescent, and then call the adhan (muslim call to prayer) from the minaret (tallest tower of the mosque) five times a day.

I just called his office. You know how you can just tell by a guys voice that their gay? Holy Shit he sounds like a fag, he's 48 and sounds like a fucking girl still. Fucking piece of shit. I called again and left a message saying: "Why the fuck did you copy the Islamic flag to remember the people killed by the Islams? Why dont you go put a swastika on the memorial for the victims of the holocaust!? What the hell is wrong with you!?" If i hear back from this dick head ill post what he says, i doubt it though.

Here is an interesting tidbit. From the design announcement page of the memorial's official website, we see that:
Many of you probably already have opinions about the Heinz Endowments foundation, but what about the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation? Let's take a look at a quotation from their March, 2003 press release on their official website:
(emphasis in red by me) I won't add any commentary of my own. |
