"Just the facts, ma'am." More often than not, politically correct bullshit won't be found here. Pardon me while I exercise my 1st amendment right! I welcome all to my little world of bitches, moans, gripes and complaints, and sometimes, the downright freakin' odd. Take a seat and join me. I love a good story.

Mayor Bloomberg is an Asshole

New York City-

With the 10 year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks quickly upon us, Mayor Bloomberg's office made a bitter announcement yesterday. The Mayor's office announced that due to limited space, all first responders who ran to the scene of one of America's most horrifying events, are not invited to the memorial ceremony.

Bloomberg spokesperson Andrew Brent stated that the memorial ceremony is for the victim's families only, while also accommodating numerous dignitaries that includes 2 U.S. Presidents and former Mayor Guiliani. However, Brent said that they are working hard to schedule other memorial services for other groups at different places and times.
Different places?  Different times?  This is the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in NYC. Why the hell would they want to go to a different place on a different date?  Are you freakin' insane?
These people are heroes to the Nth degree.  How dare you deny them their honorable place.

Most all of the emergency services personnel are understandably outraged or heartbroken that their own city has forsaken them when they themselves gave everything they had at one of our nation's most crucial times.

Many of the volunteers who suffer to this day from medical issues arising from long term exposure to Ground Zero, feel that Bloomberg is deflecting the subject and dismissing their concerns.

I say police, firefighters and EMS unions and personnel everywhere make their voices heard straight to Bloomberg's office.  They DESERVE their rightful place at this ceremony as they are the HEROES, they are the DIGNITARIES who deserve to be treated with a hell of a lot more respect than what Bloomberg is giving them. Yes, the victim's families belong there too, but to deny all the emergency workers their noble place is the epitome of being a total ASSHOLE!

That day was the saddest day in our country's history and Bloomberg has managed to make it even sadder.
Hey, to the thousands of you who gave all you had, we all thank you and I personally think you should just show up anyway! Wouldn't that just piss off the mayor?!

You wanna build what where?

"So, in the ruins of a building reduced to rubble in the name of Islam, a temple of Islam will arise."
     -Mark Steyn-

First it was putting th 9/11 terrorist suspects on trial in a criminal court in NYC, now its erect a Mosque at Ground Zero.  What audacity!  How crass can you be?  It's sickening.  I can see it now, the liberal left will be kow-towing and pandering to the Islamists, showing how open and accepting we are of  all religions.  Whereas, the conservative right are up in arms, vocalizing how it's putting NYC right back in the bullseye.  And in a manner of speaking, it is. 


The recent episode in Times Square is proof that Radical Islam will not go away by itself and that it still wants a piece of NYC.  Islam should find another place to build their precious little "Healing Center."  It seems that local government and board members signed off on it, giving approval to erecting a "Healing Center" adjacent to the towers where the old Burlington Coat Factory once stood.  Several weeks passed without anyone noticing and now, families of victims and many others are speaking out.  That's because it really wasn't all that public.  The people that are bound and determined to build it, kept it quiet.  This mysterious group of investors have made it quite clear, too.  THEY WILL BUILD IT!  Where exactly are the funds coming from to finance this?  No one really knows for sure.    


There is one thing that is not well known, every Friday afternoon an Imam leads prayers right where Osama Bin Laden sent his treacherous followers to stab America in the heart, killing thousands of innocent people all in the name if his twisted religious beliefs.


We have become a sorry ass nation if we let this happen.  
Mayor Bloomberg needs to come out of his hole, put his foot down and say they are welcome in his city, [I doubt they'll be accepted with open arms in too many other cities] but they're just not welcome at ground zero.
Not that I am a religious person, but when people desecrate the hallowed grounds of a place of great suffering and death, that place should be given over as a place to everyone without insulting anyone.  It should be a place of great peace and contemplation.  


Mayor Bloomberg came to his senses on the trial of the 9/11 terrorists, does anyone think he'll look beyond his bunker and see the "real" world?
