Just breaking on 1010 Wins Radio, no link yet!
Governor Pataki says there will be no IFC at ground zero!
We did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Point of clarification:
Isn't Islam represented by a green crescent? Spring and summer trees.
I think the red crescent is the name of their Red Cross equivalent.
Why are we fixated on the Fall colors of the proposed Flight 93 memorial. Summer colors are worse.
They all deserve to be remembered. And I will continue to honor them all. I don't care what you do.
can this be reversed,say if a democrat gov. get's elected? it's the greatest thing i've heard in a while......liberals must be crying in there beer!
Troll, you are spouting about thingsyou obviously know nothing about.
American citizens died in a disgusting attack on America.
The so called memorial that is currently being put together has been hijacked by leftist 'intellectuals' who have turned it into a blamer America first hate fest.
The memorial would be better off being a marble wall withnames on it, and nothing more compared to what the so called 'artists' and 'thinkers' have turned it into.
Get lost troll.
You're too small a fish to be stomping with the big boys.
Positioning himself to run for Prez.
Too bad he's such a RINO sack.
I respect the fact that he took a stand and said no.

Alliance of 15 Major 9/11 Family Groups Says: Thank You, Governor!
New York, N.Y.---September 29, 2005---The alliance of 15 major 9/11 family groups applauds the decision by Governor George E. Pataki to remove the International Freedom Center (IFC) from the World Trade Center Memorial site. Responding to concerns voiced by 9/11 families and New York City's first responders that the IFC would dilute and detract from the history of the 9/11 attacks and engage in controversial programming which would dishonor the victims on a site dedicated to their memory, the governor demanded that the IFC be moved elsewhere.
We are deeply grateful to Governor Pataki for taking this decisive action after the IFC issued its latest report on their plans for the center. We believe he did so after giving its organizers a fair opportunity to demonstrate that their institution would respectfully fulfill the memorial's mission.
We also appreciate the important bi-partisan support of Senator Hillary Clinton, Congressmen Peter King, Vito Fossella and John Sweeney, as well as the support of the UFA, FASNY, UFOA, PBA, Rudy Giuliani and others who all understood that this memorial belongs to all Americans, and that we have a public trust to future generations who will come to this site hoping to pay their respects and learn the important story of that day, a day of heartbreaking loss, uncommon valor and the coming together of a nation.
We look forward to their continued support as we pursue our common goal of ensuring that from the ashes of the World Trade Center site rises a 9/11 Memorial and Museum on a Memorial site dedicated solely to the stories of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993 and their aftermath with enough space to accommodate visitors safely and tell the story fully. As the future of the Memorial site is honed, the tactic of portraying the 9/11 families as divided must end. The goal is clear. The mission joined by the majority. We sincerely hope that the LMDC and the WTC Memorial Foundation will not ignore these voices as we attempt to resolve the outstanding issues in unity.
We and the tens of thousands of supporters who fought for this memorial did so, not because we wish to turn these few acres in Lower Manhattan into a cemetery or convert the site into one of enduring sadness. We did so because of our unshakable belief that this is Sacred Ground, that the truth should be told there, and that the core values of our nation will be amply demonstrated by the lives remembered, the deeds done and the spirit reawakened.

That isn't what you said, idiot.
HERE's what you said:
"no victims please. they got their milloins... now move on.."
You said it to be insulting.
Now run along little troll, and do not come back.
A politician who doesn't have the decency to oppose something like the IFC doesn't deserve to be entrusted with public office.
Yeah! One down and one to go. The next thing that needs to have the kabosh put on it is the Flight 93 memorial travesty.
BTW, are they still planning on building that ugly Freedom Tower atrosity? I say build 'em like they were before, only stronger. Flip the big ol' bird to the islamofascists.
>>>>are they still planning on building that ugly Freedom Tower atrosity?
Freeper Oceanview posted some pics of one of the buildings going up in this thread. I've really not followed any of the plans outside of the IFC memorial and museum. We focused on one issue so there wouldn't be a compromise.
Thanks. I'll check out those pics.
Praise God!!!!
that's WTC #7.
Good post. When you're hot, you're hot. ;-)

"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."
To the 343 Firefighters, NY's Bravest, who died that day. RIP.
Firefighters opposed the Freedom Center. Their voice was heard.
