If the victim’s families aren’t allowed to attend... the 9/11 first responders aren’t allowed to attend... the clergy isn’t allowed to attend... then it is all just a theatrical show. It is an orchestrated event to redefine what truly happened. This is an absolute travesty and unbelievably cold/cruel to the families who lost their loved ones. IMHO.
Bloomberg is a SICK man if he lets this crap go on.
On the one hand, it is awful to exclude the 9-11 families and for Bloomberg and others to bow down to Islam.
On the other hand, I am over the “9-11 families” being the only victims here. Our entire country was attacked, and our entire country has been effected - not just NYC or specific families. I lost a father on 9-11, but not due to the attacks. We have all suffered financial loss and the loss of liberty and the loss of dignity on airplanes and so many losses due to that day — ALL OF US.
Maybe it sounds crass, but I am over the special victim status .
Mayor Bloomberg is NOT FIT to lead!
the ceremony is only for the proper non-patriotic leftist who can appropriately appriciate the sacrafice that the moslem world made in taking out those hideous icons ofcapitalism.(sarc, of course)
All first responders, firefighters, police, paramedics, etc., in the county are being honored.
I'm responsible for the video that plays behind the choir that sings during the service. I've been working on it for weeks.
You can bet that the video features 9/11 first responders, family, and clergy.
To all of the living 9/11 first responders, family members of victims, and clergy members, I apologize for New York politics on behalf of all Americans.
The micromanagement, excluding families, forbidding religious, blaming Americans for thinking America was attacked that day, down playing Al Queda and what took place.
Add in unfinished buildings 10 years later, mammoth unemployment, an economy stuck in the mud and you have to ask, "Weren't these terrorists more successful than they could've dreamed?"
It leaves me seething when I think of it.
I will likely skip Obama's empty theatrics at Ground Zero and elsewhere, preferring to remember solemnly in a more private manner. Of course I'll be thinking of freepers BCM and BKO among others lost that day.
Everything I’m hearing about the anniversary paints Bloomberg as a narcissistic punk. Imagine that.
It looks like the city screwed up...invitations sent out late. Perhaps they are in CYA mode.
They are in good company - Bloomberg has also excluded God.
I wish this pint sized tin horn dictator’s arrogance becomes his own undoing.
I’d love to see Bloomberg’s guest list. Bet it has plenty of Imams on it.
You know that clergy are banned as well?
Where are the lawsuits for banning freedom of speech?
There is a discussion about this right now. Coming up after commercial is one of the first responders.
NEVER FORGET
"Every 'moderate' Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a 'moderate' Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.
It is time to put an end to the charade of “moderate Islam.” There is no such thing as moderate Muslim. Muslims are either jihadists or dormant jihadists – moderate, they are not."

Watch 'Remembering 9/11' on the Geographic Channel. Repeating Thursday 3PM CST: 'Inside 9/11: Zero Hour'- EXCELLENT.
_______________
Watch this moving video. It is the most viewed of any of the 9/11 videos and is now in the Smithsonian.
Be sure to read (at the site) Anatomy Of The Attack and the moving essay,’That Day’ by Steve Golding, a New Yorker who lived through it.

napØleon and his chronies and toadies will be hogging the center stage for the 9-11 ceremonies.
The rest of the Farm animals will just have to share the memorial quietly on the fringes of the yard or in there pens and stalls.
What is the ceremony for, only politicians?
‘”I am looking forward to the rally. It is a place we can be free to really remember the who, why, when and where of 9-11. The morning ceremony is devoid of any meaning.”’
Now they will be allowed to pray.
