Has it ever occurred to you that this is just Port Authority propaganda? The same Port Authority that said last week in the Wall Street Journal that "the church can rebuild anytime" and now says that "there are no plans to rebuild"? That this is the same group at the Port Authority who thinks the mosque is "a good idea"?
Regardless of what transpired, the Port Authority can't just pick up and walk away from people whose church and land were destroyed on 9/11, taking their land and giving nothing in return, yet it appears that is exactly what they did.
If you think that the Port Authority is financed by taxpayers, you'd be wrong. Wiki:
Financially, the Port Authority has no power to tax and does not receive tax money from any local or state governments. Instead, it operates on the revenues it makes from its rents, tolls, fees, and facilities.
In fact, the Port Authority is one of the richest little independent fiefdoms in the nation. They could fund building Notre Dame and not have to crack their piggy bank, so I wouldn't feel too sorry for them. They aren't "us".
George Demos, the Conservative Republican candidate for Congress in the First District of New York will be appearing of Fox News today @ 2:45PM EST on America Live with Megyn Kelly to discuss his letter calling on President Obama to support the rebuilding of St. Nicholas Church, the only house of worship actually destroyed on September 11.
Good analysis. There needs to be an investigation into the idiots running that Mickey Mouse outfit.
