In case you thought the America-haters had finally learned their lesson...

...no, they haven't.

This iconic picture of firefighters raising the stars and stripes in the rubble of Ground Zero was nearly excluded from the 9/11 Memorial Museum — because it was “rah-rah” American, a new book says.

Michael Shulan, the museum’s creative director, was among staffers who considered the Tom Franklin photograph too kitschy and “rah-rah America,” according to “Battle for Ground Zero” (St. Martin’s Press) by Elizabeth Greenspan, out next month.

“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.

Translated that is saying, We should not be proud Americans, we should not be patriotic Americans, we should not be high spirited Americans. Rather we should be extremely humbled, repentant and dispirited Americans! Who the hell put that SOB IN CHARGE!!? -Tyr
