Score one for the taxpayers and owners of ground zero. No longer will the construction delayed tower be referred to as The Freedom Tower, it is going back to its legal name, One World Trade Center.
“The fact is, more than 3 billion dollars of public money is invested in that building and, as a public agency, we have the responsibility to make sure it is completed and that we utilize the best strategy to make certain it is fully occupied,” the Port Authority said at http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090328/ap_on_re_us/attacks_freedom_tower.
I shouldn’t have been coined the Freedom Tower or any other touchy, feel good, patriotic, heal America adjective that protects people from remembering the despicable acts of terrorists on that fateful day. The bastards who took thousands of victims, left survivors who remember seeing airplanes crashing, steel falling, death and destruction. The crashing planes and towers should be replayed over and over to remind every single person how much hate can be levied against America. Images of 911 are barely newsworthy except on the anniversary of 911.
The building was, and always be, The One World Trade Center.
Incidentally, what did General Motors do after 911? It donated $1 million, 60 cars, and matched employee contributions. Rather patriotic I’d say.
Cowards destroyed One World Trade Center, they did not take away our freedom. We have politicians to do that for us while they lead us into government sponsored socialism and the ownership of an unbuilt Tower; no matter what you name it, floundering General Motors, and a few banks to name a few things.
Actually, they did take away our freedoms. Just try travelling these days by air. It is like being processed a Treblinka or Auschwitz. So, yes the monsters took away the world’s freedom…and for that, I blame both the airlines for having that stupid policy of allowing free access to the cockpit when El Al from the 70s strictly forbade access to their cockpits and of course, that HORRIBLE religion, Islam…which is technically NOT a religion as we know it. But a cult…just look at the way they teach and indoctrinate the young moslems…entirely by rote and memory. Those two factors consipired to create the post-9/11 world we live in today.
