Outrage!

We are three weeks away from the 10^th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.  Now, you will not believe what has happened.  It is Orwellian.  The good guys are the bad guys now and the bad guys are perfectly welcome.

What is going on?

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg has decreed there will be no clergy at the 9/11 memorial.

You heard that right.  No Clergy!

Let’s start with the basics.  Bloomberg is simply nuts.  At the same time he is saying no clergy at the 9/11 memorial service, he is also saying that he has no problem with the 9/11 victory mosque being built two blocks away.

Islamists attacked America on 9/11 based on their religious hatred of America.  All types of Americans died on that day.  Many were religious people.  One of the fatalities that day was Father Mychal Judge, a chaplain with the NYFD who went into the towers with the fire fighters and perished with them. 

While Michael Bloomberg lobbies for taxpayer funds to help build the 9/11 victory mosque, there is another casualty of 9/11 that everyone seems to have forgotten about.

Little St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church had stood since 1916.   It had been a refuge for New Yorkers and others seeking escape and a brief peaceful interlude during their hectic days in the New York business world.  It was the spiritual home to many of the Greek Orthodox faithful of New York.  The Sons of St. Nicholas served in World War 1, World War 2, Korea, Vietnam and even up to Desert Storm. 

When the towers were destroyed, St. Nicholas was destroyed.  The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese has asked, discussed, begged, pleaded, cajoled and done everything in its power to get little St. Nicholas rebuilt.  All to no avail.  The Archdiocese has now had to file suit.

Mean while Bloomberg, who truly meets Lenin’s definition of a useful idiot, is doing everything he can to make certain a victory mosque is built as close to the site of the 9/11 attacks as possible. 

George Bush used to say that Islam had been hijacked.  No, what we saw on 9/11 was pretty consistent with Islam since its creation.  What we are seeing is 9/11 being hijacked. 

Instead of a proper memorial for the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor, we are instead fed a line of politically correct bovine scatology.

Enough!

9/11 was a national trauma.  We all remember where we were when we first heard about the attack.  The tenth anniversary activities are a national disgrace. 

My suggestion is this. Our government refuses to identify our enemies as our enemies, treats our citizens as enemies and refuses to take meaningful steps to protect us or protect liberty.  9/11 falls on a Sunday this year.  Let’s go to our churches on 9/11 (or synagogues on 9/10) and let real Americans remember the attacks.  Let’s have remembrances at our local Tea Party events and Liberty events.  Let’s do a memorial at our local Republican Party meetings or out our local Boy Scout meetings.

We cannot make these fools go away by ignoring them, but by holding our own services, where the clergy are welcome; they will have a much harder time pouring salt in our wounds.
