From my blog: AN OPEN LETTER TO MAYOR BLOOMBERG
May 6, 2010
Dear Mayor Bloomberg:
You insufferable little man. You insufferable, insulting, little man.
In your ivory-tower-skewed, elitist wisdom, you first saw fit to react to the attempted Times Square bombing by betting your twenty-five cents that the bomber was
“…homegrown, or maybe a mentally deranged person, or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something...”
While Conservatives tend to roll their eyes at the degree of overwrought political correctness in today’s society, we have nonetheless become sensitized to the much-discussed concept of “code words,” drummed, as it is, incessantly into our heads by the media and the race-baiters. So it’s not hard to imagine that your health care reference was a not-so-veiled indictment, well in advance of any investigative conclusions, of the Tea Party movement.
I supposed you deduced this from the video of a white man removing his shirt on a hot, sticky day in crowded Times Square. Who among us could have expected that, when we overlooked your term-limit end run, we’d be electing the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes? What astounding deductive powers.
A question: Was your face red when you found out, a scant day later, that the perpetrator was actually a Pakistani-born Muslim, al-Qaeda trained, whose path to citizenship was to marry an American woman? My guess is that no, you were not embarrassed for having smeared tens of thousands of your constituents. Who cares what the peons think, right Mike?
And so it was that you saw fit to admonish us immediately after the identity of the terrorist was made known. You couldn’t wait to warn us, we red-necked, thuggish, racist cretins who demonstrate in support of the Constitution. A good, hard, pre-emptive slap is good for us kids, I suppose.
In totally misreading the good citizens of New York City of every race, religion or ethnicity, you sternly lectured that “”We will not tolerate any bias or backlash against Pakistani or Muslim New Yorkers.” Way to go, Mike. A left jab is a good prelude to a right cross. Two insults are better than one.
If you knew anything about the people you govern, you’d know that there are no more fair people on the planet than New Yorkers, and that we judge no man by the color of his skin, his ethnic makeup or his background. But you don’t know us well enough, do you, and so you thought we needed a talking-to by you, a small-minded little man with a Napoleonic complex and an ego that is far too large for even this, the second hardest job in America.
How about this: next time, instead of blabbing on national television, you shut up about your opinions on who committed a crime and let the police do their job?
How about this: next time, instead of incorrectly labeling a terrorist act as a one-off crime, you remind New Yorkers that we are a target in the War on Terror, and to remain vigilant and alert?
How about this: next time, instead of warning us about the horrors of profiling or bias, you practice what you preach.
How about this: next time, you take the advice of those good and proud Americans you saw fit to smear and just get lost, you creep.
Sincerely,
Frank Santarpia
Staten Island, NY
The first thing I thought of when I heard this was the "prime suspect" was something out of Seinfeld with George Costanza oblivious to what was going on around him suddenly becoming "public enemy #1".
The Left was leaping to this conclusion ON 9-11-2001 too with conspiracy theories (that day) from Lyndon LaRouche and Michael Moore that it was "Timothy McVeigh" types who'd hijacked the planes.
Go, Frank!
