the Insensitivity of Multiculturalism and PC-ness

What is going on in America? How have we allowed multiculturalism to overtake nearly every aspect of American life? Liberal America and its philosophy of American Bad-ism has become dangerously pervasive. Liberal Media spouts the drivel day in and day out, government schools indoctrinate the malleable minds of American youth, and college campuses actively work to destroy any remaining sense of morale relativity remaining by graduation time. It is this lack of moral relativity and ambiguity that is rapidly destroying what remains of the America that was. This coupled with the belief that there is nothing special about America; no social or moral superiority. Socially, until a few decades ago, America was among the elite of the worlds nations. As to the latter, we can thank the American Left for getting us there.

In terms of Memorials, why on God's green earth do we allow the Liberals and Multiculturalists to design America's tributes to bravery, heroism and sacrifice? Societal elites*, given the task of designing two specific memorials have shown no sensitivity, or thought, to the families who lost loved ones on 9-11.

In Shanksville, Pennsylvania, designers reveal their "Crescent of Embrace", a crescent shaped grove of red maples. Just who will we be memorializing here? The passengers who fought back? Or the Muslims who lost their lives when their mission to perhaps crash Flight 93 into the White House was thwarted? The families of the passengers of Flight 93 are understandably outraged, but will the design change? God, I hope so!

In New York, at Ground Zero, another liberal appeasement effort is underway to build a museum, on that sacred and hallowed ground, whereupon the "Global Struggle for Freedom" will be the centerpiece. This was supposed to be a memorial to the 2,900+ people who lost their lives when terrorists brought down two towers filled with innocent lives and the lives of the brave and gallant men who fought to rescue them. Instead, we're being sold a multicultural, politically correct bill of goods, pandering to America's, and the worlds, less than stellar history on Human Rights rather than a memorial to the lives lost on the morning of September 11, 2001.

I'm not saying there's no place for such a museum on American soil, just not on that soil. It is both inappropriate, and a slap in the face of every family who lost what is indisputably irreplaceable, as well as the rest of America who wept with each of these grieving families, to build a museum that belittles America and Americans on the site where America-- and many other nations --lost so much.

Ground Zero is sacred not because a great struggle for human rights was fought there, but because a religion that doesn't value human rights killed-- no, murdered --3,000 people.
