Here is an online petition to Depict the WTC Flag Raising as it Actually Occurred!

VIEW SIGNATURES   ----------   SIGN THE PETITION

To:  The New York City Council, The New York City Fire Department

We the undersigned citizens of the United States, and concerned citizens from other nations, hereby petition the New York City Fire Department and the City of New York as follows regarding the proposed statue depicting the raising of the US flag at ground zero of the WTC attack by firefighters on September 11, 2001.

1. Immediately change the proposed statue or replace it, such that the actual events of the flag raising are accurately depicted to show those firemen who actually raised the flag doing so. Use the famous picture, shown below, of the flag raising to acurately depict the flag raising as it occurred.



2. Cease all efforts to modify the historical record of that day in any way, shape, or form that would promote a so called "culutural diversity" or "politically correct" agenda of any type and simply present events as they occurred accurately for rising generations.

This event is of great historical significance and has united the American people like no other. The only hope for future generations to avoid and/or counter similar events is for the historical record to be accurate. The only way to continue the unification created by those horrible events is to present them accurately and truthfully. To do otherwise will only promote disunity and aide the cause of our enemies.

One might just as well try and depict the terrorist animals who perpetrated these attacks and those who aided and abetted them as choir boys and peace loving pacifists as to depict the heroic events of that flag raising as something other than what they were. The fact is, those enemies who attacked this nation were cruel, grossly evil and perverted in their actions and deserving of a harsh and just retribution for what they did. Thousand of innocent American and other lives were lost due to the twisted religious and ideological ravings of those whe pepretrated the attacks, thousands who were innocent of any crime other than trying to live their lives in freedom and peace.

The fact is also that the events regarding the flag raising occurred as they did, without any thought to political correctness or cultural diversity. At that moment, the only thought was patriotism to our nation and devotion to the duty of helping the victims. To depict it in any other manner sullies an historical and a heroic act, and descrates hallowed ground. The American people will not stand for it.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Unfortunately the "unpleasantries" continue with the complicity of the enablers in the Propaganda Ministry. The Dims have been crying in their baby food all day about Karl Rove's statement saying the Pubbies can lead this country during times like these better than the Dims. The Dims call it pandering. I say to whom or what? Patriots and patriotism? Worse things could happen IMHO.

This petition will bring more people to see that the truth is not a negotiable item.It's not to be twisted for personal gain.This has to terrify the Democrats,as their lies are exposed for the perversions they are.

"I like the graphic. It does get the message across."

I copied that off another private Freeper site many years ago. It projects the spirit of Free Republic. Copy it, keep it, make it your own.

This petition, and others like it, are perfect examples of the spirit of resistance badly needed to oppose the cultural Marxists and their influence through every unique American institution they have sought to overthrow these past 40+ years.

Bravo to the street fighters, bravo to the gladiators in the arena of the War of Ideas.

As much as anything else, it will add a small piece of backbone stiffener to the good guys, and maybe put 'em on notice that WE expect better from them.

The fact that Billy Jeff(patui) spent two terms in office does not reflect well on the people that vote Dim. They are for the most part a coalition of "created victims" that don't care one way or the other what their benefactors do so long as they get their handouts and other goodies.

You've seen the statement(I don't recall who said it) about a democracy will last only until enough voters discover they can vote themselves money from the public largesse. Robin Hood comes to mind.

49,980!!!!!!!!!!

Oh... uh, pardon me. It just blew by 50,0000.

So, is this like a FR record or something?

Jeff has run a few of these; he said he's never seen anything like it. I haven't either. It's a good thing.
