Freedom Center backers say it will help people understand 9/11 sacrifices. Victims’ families say controversy surrounding the museum will dishonor the dead. Do you think it belongs at the WTC site?

Let's all raise a collective toast of whatever (making mine a corona with lime, I know, I'm such a yuppie!) to celebrate this victory. After work, that is.

To the heroes of 9/11--we will never stop fighting those who wish to dishonor you.

Requiescat in pace.

Islam A National Holiday? LOL! No way, not in my country..maybe we should roast a pig and deliver to CAIR headquarters (otherwise known as a "terror cell") on the day they wish to "honor" their "religion".

This was a "controversy" manufactured by a small, elitist group of cultural parasites-led by the intellectually insipid cretins working for the NYT editorial board-who wanted to mislead the public into believing that there is a substantial constituency for reflexive America-bashing masquerading as "art."

These people are not artists, but shameless profiteers, who were eagerly planning their desecration of this hallowed ground-and the windfall profits that would ensue from it-even before the corpses immolated by Islamic fascists in the 9/11 attacks were identified.

This isn't a case of me supporting Rick Lazio, and someone else supporting Charles Schumer, two groups of roughly comparable size, and then deciding which one is more numerous.

The people supporting this abomination were not even equivalent to a small minority of inflexible zealots, who in spite of their size still represented a discernible political constituency, e.g. the Greens, the NDP, etc...

No one in this country, in this state, or in this city supported this misguided project, with the sole exception of the unreconstructed Marxists, professional America-loathers, and feckless, pseudo-Republican tools like Mayor Bloomberg that constituted our disloyal opposition.

If the residents of Manhattan had supported the IFC-which they didn't-or even the residents of a small enclave of Greenwich Village had supported it-and I'm even skeptical of that proposition-it's entirely immaterial, since this is America's memorial.

It should stand in perpetuity as a monument to the bravery and fortitude of Americans, especially those who willingly sacrificed their lives in order to spare the lives of others on that fateful September day.

Who would have believed it from Pataki. Whenever I call his office the lady who asnwers is always very nice and takes my message. I guess she took lots of messages on this issue.

Well, this is good news and I will take it from wherever it comes.

Congrats!

Ignore it--it's a troll (previous posts were just as obnoxious and contrary).
