Michelle Malkin on the "Crescent of Embrace" farce...
She has a good column in the NY Post today.
Let's set aside the utter boneheaded-ness of using a symbol that, inadvertently or not, commemorates the killers' faith instead of the victims' revolt. The soft-and-fuzzy memorial design of "Crescent of Embrace" still does injustice to the steely courage of Flight 93's passengers and crew. It evokes the defeatism embodied by those behind a similar move to turn the 9/11 memorial in New York City into a pacifist guilt complex.

United Flight 93 Memorial...You've got to be kidding me...
Captain's Quarters
Have you seen the design for the new memorial for the victims of the ill-fated flight 93, which crash landed into an open field in Shanksville, PA - after the passengers and crew fought back against their Islamofascist killers? The so-called "Crescent of Embrace" is so obviously symbolic of the Islamic Crescent - as recognizable a symbol as the Christian Cross - but the architects thought people would be too stupid to notice.
How offensive is this? Captain Ed puts it into perspective by describing a known memorial as it could have been had these guys gotten a crack at building it.
Update: 11:20pm - Michelle Malkin links the graphic that reveals all...

Yeah, I saw that nonsense. Don't these "architects" realize that in America, we like nice, shiny, linear designs?
Curvy freaks. Heh.

Truly Disgusting...
The way the Left is reacting in the wake of Katrina may be the most appalling behavior I've witnessed out of them...ever. To politicize the freaking weather of all things is in and of itself ridiculous enough, but to stoop to the kind of crap they were spewing this weekend is beyond the pale.
And we all know why Democrats are so quick to use this tragedy to direct their fire at the President. As H-Bomb at ABP explains:
Though it is controversial to say so, the political Left in America has been waiting anxiously for Hurricane Katrina to come along for quite a while (almost four years, to be exact) and now that she has come, they can hardly contain their glee.
Oh, I donÂ’t mean that the Left has been waiting for a hurricane, per se. Actually, they always figured it would come in the form of another terror strike: the moment when they would finally change the average American's point of reference. They desperately need Americans to forget about 9-11. They desperately want Katrina, not 9-11, to be the defining moment of the Bush presidency.
Patrick Hynes, also of Ankle-Biting Pundits, has a
column in today's American Spectator Online that chronicles the co-ordinated efforts among Liberals and the MSM to make this all about Bush.
Even Hillary is calling for a "Katrina Commission" to investigate how this happened. You know how it happened. New Orleans has been a city below sea-level since it's inception. Louisiana is located in the heart of hurricane country. The State and local officials have had forever to come up with a contingency plan for something like this. They chose to ignore the problem. FEMA and Homeland Security could be doing a LOT better, true. But that pinhead Mayor Ray Nagin has a lot of balls throwing blame around when he sat idly by and did NOTHING to evacuate those who needed help the most. What a bunch of crap.
I agree with H-Bomb, that non-partisan Americans aren't going to fall for this. Even ABC couldn't manipulate the results of its own poll enough to come to a different conclusion.
If you need a better example of the treachery of the American political Left, you'll never be convinced.
Understand, these are also the same people who giggle amongst themselves every time an Armed Service man or woman is killed in Iraq. These are the people who want the Afghan elections in mid-September to fail. These are the people who hope the Iraqi constitution is voted down. These are the people who promised us they would just leave if we re-elected George W. Bush; they would move to Canada or Europe. (Talk about your broken campaign promises.) These are the people who, for partisan gain, have hoped against all hope for another terror strike in the United States.
Yes, we lost a lot of Americans as a result of Hurricane Katrina. But IÂ’m not talking about her victims. IÂ’m talking about the political Left who was singing in the rain and dancing on the corpses because they thought they could score political points.
Truly disgusting.

Outrageous Quotes About The Hurricane...
Arthur Chrenkoff has a round-up of the
worst quotes about Hurricane Katrina uttered by the American Left, European scoundrels and jihadist savages.
I think the worst ones are from Moonbat bloggers whose typing fingers seem to be disconnected from their brains (not to mention their hearts). A-holes.

Aren't they sick?
They also ignore the fact that President Clinton did nothing about the leeves too. Very one sided.

your new site is looking good. now, all i have to say is who cares about what clinton, bush, or whoever did or didn't do; the gov't (that's the COLLECTIVE gov't made up of TWO parties) totally dropped the ball on this one. WHERE WERE THEY??? if i (and i live in northwest philadelphia) could see the chaos and destruction the day after katrina hit, FROM THE TV IN MY LIVING ROOM, then what the hell took the states and feds so damn long to react? i couldn't help but notice as i parused the right wing blog-o-sphere this lovely labor day that stories regarding the total lack of response to this dire situation from the president were less than absent. now maybe that's beacuse the right wing contingent didn't want to cheapen this catastrophe defending a political attack (jackson and sharpton seemed just as concerned with slamming the prez. as they were with getting aid to the people, and this isn't the time for it - even if i agree with them. and god bless kanye west for saying EXACTLY what was on the minds on many, many individuals. remember, politicians will be corrupt slackers forever, these people need help NOW!) but when bush makes a statement three days after the fact that "relief efforts were unacceptable," you just have to ask: "well, aren't YOU the president? who but YOU is in a better position to get the ball rolling and make things acceptable?" i don't have the answers, and it seems like the people out there in the best position to provide them are as clueless as i.

Rev - paragraph breaks are you friends. Do not fear them. (that's "enter" two times - BTW)

GARY - 1st, i don't like paragraph breaks, they interrupt the flow of my thought train. and if we're gonna get nuts about grammar, you used "your" instead of "you're (as in 'you are') about 6 times in your little homoerotic hobbit adventure.
- oh dear, let me rush right over to that post and correct myself! Not! - ed.
2nd, THIS is the most outrageous quote about the hurricane in that the person who spoke it has NO idea how the other 99.8% of the people in this world live:
"What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is that they all want to stay in Texas. Everybody is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this – this is working very well for them." –Former First Lady Barbara Bush, on the Hurricane flood evacuees in the Houston Astrodome, Sept. 5, 2005
YEAH! they're really having a blast! can we say
[GRATUITOUS INSULT OF THE FORMER FIRST LADY DELETED]
and...
"But I really didn't hear that at all today. People came up to me all day long and said 'God bless your son,' people of different races and it was very, very moving and touching, and they felt like when he flew over that it made all the difference in their lives, so I just don't hear that." –Former First Lady Barbara Bush to CNN's Larry King, after King asked her how she felt when people said that her son "doesn't care" about race, Sept. 5, 2005
well, she got the doesn't care part right. looking back, i don't agree with what kanye west said (even though it was ballsy as all hell) because president bush, and every president for that matter, really doesn't care about ANYONE. a lot of folks think he does, and that's just what they're counting on to keep the big ball o' lies rolling. and let me just say, in all seriousness, that i find the folks who comment on this site (and YOU especially gary) are of mostly above average intelligence, so i can't figure out how genuinely intelligent people can't see through this half-assed ruse. folks, you're being lied to, A LOT! you've got brains, and well-working ones at that. so why are you buying this garbage hook line and sinker? maybe it's an enjoyable ride, i don't know, but lord - look what's going on around you! i'm ranting here, i'm sorry, i just hate to see good, capable brains at waste.
Duuuhhh. What? I'm torry, I can't undertand wut u r saying. I hafta go reed my Bible with the picturs in it now. gubye
Dude, go play Halo or something. What are you, like 17 years old?
