Museum Dropped From WTC Site for Now

Bowing to pressure from Sept. 11 families, Gov. George Pataki on Wednesday removed a proposed freedom center from the space reserved for it near the planned World Trade Center memorial, saying the museum project had aroused "too much opposition, too much controversy."

Since they couldn't have center stage at the site and trowel their agenda over the top of the 9-11 event, their planned display was apparently not worth the trouble of putting somewhere else - not enough propaganda value any more.

Pataki initially said the state would help the International Freedom Center find another home, but center officials said they weren't interested and considered the project dead.

R.I.P. Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out!

Pataki said a planned cultural building meant for the freedom center would now tell only the story of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

What a concept! A 9-11 memorial that focuses on...9-11! How novel!
Chalk one up for the real folks on this!

Bush Gets Low Grade on Domestic Policies, Programs

Franklin Delano Bush

The Chief has posted previously on this topic - David Boaz of the Cato Institute has a much more thorough exposition of the same proposition - that President Bush as effectively demonstrated that he is, in reality, closer to a Democrat of the FDR or JFK model: expanding government, while maintaining a staunch international policy. On second thought, JFK would probably have been more of a conservative than Dubya is!

Where is Barry Goldwater now that we really need him?
