How in the world did we get to this place and time? How in the world could any New Yorker sell their property…for whatever greedy purpose so that someone could build a direct slap in the face to an entire country?
As we watched the replays of 9/11 and were caught up short with tears of condolences for those families, friends and our country – it was the story of Rudy Guiliani and he staff of 25 folks that almost lost their lives when they were trapped after the fall of the North Tower. Only with the grace of a higher source, did that one EMT responder forget his dark glasses and went back for them – only to find the Mayor of New York and his staff locked below ground in the temporary Command Center.
As Donald Trump offers the developers and Iman Rulf an honorable way out of this gross embarrassment…of putting a Mosque, anywhere near the spot that will be indelibly marked in our American consciousness forever. Let’s put up a statue of Adolf Hitler in front of Dachau. No, let’s put up statues of the entire group of 19 Suicide Pilots on Ground Zero. Mayor Bloomberg can dedicate their statues when they re-open the memorial grounds of the Twin Towers – next year! What we really need is a statue of Emperor Hirohito right on top of the Arizona Memorial in Hawaii. Hey, let the freedom of country open its great arms of forgiveness to everyone. Let us demostrate how forgiving we really are!
Is nothing sacred anymore? Does nothing that exists in history not be required to remember? Does as sense of Unity and Forgiveness trump any wrong doing on the planet? How about a statue of Joran Van Der Sloot….set up on the University of Alabama to honor him for removing a Flag Twiller from the University ranks….so another might take her place!
Logic be dammed. Intelligence be dammed. We need to face the facts that the world has changed. History means nothing. We stand at a crossroads of preparing the “Blank Page”. Is it the time to forget the sacrifices of our forebears? We now live in the “One World” and that history begins today! Unless, everyone in the world can benefit financially – how important can it be? As a strong example, we need to forget our history but make accomodations for all others?
Thank you Donald Trump for being a lonely solitary voice – stepping forward to try and find a true solution. Thank you Reverend Jones for first threatenting and then changing your mind and not burning those Qurans. Jones probably would have been charged with lighting a fire without a license anyway – by the EPA!
For those that think that building a Mosque anywhere near Ground Zero is intelligent – “forgive them Lord for they know not what they do.” Hopefully, the current sacrifices of our soldiers, sailors and marines today and tomorrow not be forgotten – as well. Building a Mosque near Ground Zero is equivalent to yelling fire in a crowded theatre – it just doesn’t make sense!
