1. If you cannot tell the difference between the opinions of someone who truly grieves and a political hack high-fiving the sheep for her political campaign then you are truly blind.
The fact is that neither Sarah NOR YOUactually knew anyone who died that day. Its easy to make such blanket statements when those that died are just convenient numbers and not actual people you used to work with. Makes the talking points much easier to regurgitate.
How do you know who Sarah Palin or I know?
You make an awfully lot of assumptions, and high handed statements about people with absolutely no knowledge of them.
I don't agree with Palin's statement or that the city should deny the center be built. (Especially as you say, the city can just because it chooses too)
I don't think much of Palin at all. But, her or my opinion is just as valid as yours.
2. Wrong. There is nothing in the constitution that requires that a Religious building be built on a specific spot. The site is situated in a commercial zone. The city can deny a permit to build if it choses, especially as was mentioned several times earlier the project is not a religious building but a community center.
This is a capitalist country and cities, counties,and government entities can deny building permits. They can not deny permits with out reason or because they choose. Building codes expressly outline usage and building factors. The city would be required to spell out the reason they were denied.
Like I said this is not France.
I guarantee you that if New York denied them a permit based on being a religious or Muslim organization it would end up in court.
Its because we are the ones that have the scars, all you've got is rhetoric. Your not a victim unless you have actually lost something. I lost people I knew, a good portion of my city was in ruins for months. Many people were paralyzed for weeks without telephone, transportation and other basic services. And not to downplay the Pentagon or PA but the overwhelming numbers of death and damage was in NYC thats why the focus in there.
You did not suffer anything, all you did was watch the news on TV. Only people who were there, or were there before, can understand. I wept when I saw the towers fall, Did you?
What a pathetic diatribe. You presume to know and pass judgment on people you have never even met. Your ploy here is to make it seem as if no one cares but you. What a crock of bull ****.
People reading your diatribe are not simpletons, so get off your soap box you look so silly. Only thing revealed here is what a sanctimonious jackass you are.
