The Blue Collar Group Responds to Ground Zero and Arizona Law
Since nobody in the mainstream media is going to do it we are left to do it ourselves. Tired of listening to the talking heads give their over educated guess about what middle America is really thinking as they ride the studio limo into their 200 foot driveway dropping them off at their upper class zip code.
How about we go to the people who paved that driveway or built that McMansion for the upper crust of the nation. For once go to Johnny Lunchpale and say ” Hey Bro you think this is what we voted for?” I’m sure if you do you will be disturbingly surprised.
Out in Staten Island there was a proposed Mosque going to go up right in the middle of a small old community and the locals were outraged. As usual the left went to work on these fine people who work hard pay their taxes and fight the wars. The liberals Hail Mary Pass- The Race Card. By todays standards being called racist is the Scarlett Letter of our time but no matter how hard they pushed these Staten Islanders went to the proposed site and for 6 weeks protested it’s building until the seller of the property pulled out of the sale to the Islamic group and the people for once were heard and won.This is a lesson my friends. This Mosque was a done deal but the people stood up and the system that is being altered and twisted and almost unrecognizable actually worked and if it worked there it can work at Ground Zero so stand up you carpenters, plumbers, laborers, toll clerks, dishwashers, tapers, masons and anyone else out there who still believes in those magic powerful words : We the People!
I was in the field with some of my fellow blue collar guys and we spoke about the proposed Ground Zero Mosque and the Arizona Immigration Law. Two of the hottest topics out there locally and nationally and I’ll think you’ll be surprised about what you hear and also how the mainstream media is manipulating the content of the debate to the point of being untrue. I inform them about the actual particulars of the Az. Law and suddenly their opinions change. Have a view and a listen:

Us here at Blue Collar Corner will be going out to some of the local firehouses talking to some of the senior guys who were there on that awful day and see what they feel about these issues ( Mosque and Az. Law) If you are interested in being heard reach out to us this site is for YOU!
Take a good look at these pictures and then tell me the immigrants of today are of the same character and moral fiber that these hungry proud yearning to be free people are.
The New Black Panther Party is preaching its’ members to “Kill some Crackers”! or ” We have to kill some white babies”! and the leader of the NAACP is declaring a war on Tea Parties while our first lady Michelle Obama runs to the podium to join in on the P.R. lynching.
Well there certainly was a diverse crowd at the Landmarks Hearing today at Hunter College Assembly Hall. Everything from political candidates to parents of firemen who suffered the ultimate loss to the owners of this structure who feel the building has no historical significance whatsoever. I learned something important today this building the Burlington Coat Factory has been under scrutiny for landmark status since 1989. This to me is fascinating. It had such credence before 911 and it became directly elevated since the landing gear of Mohammed Atta’s plane actually landed on the roof of the building giving it all the more reason to landmark it yet all of the sudden this group The Cordoba Initiative sets in motion to propose building their Mega-Mosque and BAM they have a hearing on it within months.
Finally a politician with a soul stands up and demands the funding of this Mosque be questioned and the background of this man Imam Fiesal Rauff the leader spearheading this initiative be scrutinized as far as his associations and past comments and radical writings he has published leading to the conclusion he believes we are responsible for what happened on 911. Well Rick Lazio took a stand and demanded that Attorney General Andrew Cuomo get off his butt and do his job and look into this organization that has claimed to be a charity and make sure he is following proper practice in how he raises funds for this 100 million dollar project ( a question that has yet to be answered) and why is it he will not call groups like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organizations. Most think if he does his funding would dry up the next day.
Well it’s true. The Coast Guard, the alphabet government agencies and every fisherman and business owner were all issued a gag order and they’re all abiding by it. I’m sure anyone associated with them will deny it but I’m here to tell you no one is talking.
We approached the Venice Marina and it looked deserted. When I did see someone I asked him could he take us out to see some of the spill and record it. He took my number then vanished never to be seen again and only moments later we were escorted off the dock by some official looking charachters who would not even identify themselves, Upon our departure not 1 mile down the road we were pulled over for speeding. Coincidence? I think not. Later that night I was told by a unknown caller to get my yankee ass back to New York. Obviously this coward doesn’t know the kid from Brooklyn and my response to him was fugheddaboudit! I ain’t going nowhere till I’m done. I knew at this point I was fighting something I couldn’t see or talk to so my instincts told me to go to the city. 
Boy did that pay off. When I hit New Orleans it was a gusher of information and extremely vocal scared people who are fed up with Obama B.P. and the media in general. 
Talking to these people was such a great experience for me personally. Regular blue collar folk speaking their mind and giving me a glimpse of how hard it is in their neck of the woods was a moving moment that I appreciate and treasure. I hope I do good by them because that’s why I do what I do. Real Americans telling their story. Not a bunch of ultra educated talking heads who live in the clouds talking about the middle class like they have a clue. 
Here is the epicenter of New Orleans : Jackson Square. Named after President Andrew Jackson. It certainly is an odd concoction of several walks of life down there. In the end I learned an incredible amount of knowledge concerning the Spill. Such as the dispersents that they were using were actually doing more harm then good. When it comes into contact with the oil it makes it sink below the surface and easy to pass below the boom and harder to skim because it breaks down the viscosity of the oil. Also it interrupts the natural dispersents…the microbes which break down the oil the proper and safe way.What was very revealing was the company that provided the dispersents NALCO is a business whose 2 major shareholders are ….. ready …wait for it ….Al Gore and Tony Rezko. LOL are they kidding me? Are we that stupid? when this all comes out it will make a great Behind the Story VH1. 
Hope you enjoy the interviews and my commentary and would like to thank Jeff and Paul for the invite and the opportunity to participate in the documentary. Good Luck Project Shining City.
There is a gigantic cover-up taking place in the Gulf right now. The Media is being banned from taking pictures or filming in certain areas that are extremely disturbing. B.P. security contractors in conjunction with the White House are actually threatening reporters and writers to stay away as they “handle the spill”. As we enter our 3rd month of this environmental disaster the people in charge are blocking any coverage whatsoever which means one thing… they are going badly. So badly that the mysterious group in charge are telling probing eyes that they will be arrested.
Finally a politician with a soul. Rick Lazio calls Andrew Cuomo our Attorney General to do his job and investigate this Imam Fiesal Rauff and his Cordoba Initiative Group. This is the Malaysian based organization that miraculously raised 5 million in cash during our country’s worst economic recession in more than half a century to build a Mega- Mosque right in the shadow of Ground Zero. The Arabian Sean Connery-looking soft-spoken Imam is quite the actor. He flat out refuses to condemn the poster boy terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood with whom he has direct associations with.
The Cordoba is a legally registered charitable organization which should be scrutinized to earn the right to hold such status. Mr. Cuomo sees this as a hot button issue and would not dream of jeopardizing his ample poll numbers. Yet when polled New Yorkers are against the Mosque 52% to 50%. Mayor Billionberg Out of Touch 3rd Termer who wants us not to ingest salt or smoke but will put out pamphlets on the basic ABC’s of proper and clean Heroine use supports this insensitive blasphemous Victory Mosque. Well if the good Mayor reads this he’ll probably say I’m some angry Tea Party member who’s pissed off about Health Care Bill( and he’d be right!)
One day after our Independence Day my mind drifts back to the day of 911. It was on that day my world had changed. Two buildings I had come to love were destroyed. In them people I had dearly loved and worked with and went to school with had perished along with an innocence that will never be restored. A day has never passed while working in those Towers where I didn’t have to step back and appreciate the remakable tradesmanship that was involved with each phase of it’s construction.
In the weeks that followed I was trying to process the way we had to pull people out after the first plane hit and people were told to stay put. All the Hard Hats I worked with went with our guts and just started tearing out of there and bringing as many people with us as we could. Later the cops and firemen arrived and many lives were lost and my prayers go out to those brave men and women. Maybe one day the 911 Hard Hats will get their due but I am just happy to be alive. Working on the very hot days that followed on the bucket brigades were miserable but in a strange way was cathartic. We needed to do something to release some of the pain and anguish.
This is a picture I actually took myself while at Cooper Union in downtown NYC during his financial reform speech. I managed to get in with the White House Press Corp.
What does it tell you that Russia is still throwing all sorts of money and resources at activities like this? One thing : it’s working. All the predictions of 50 and 60 years ago have come to fruition. 
Nikita Kruschev the leader of the Soviet Union after WWII told our American officials we are so gullable and that one day our grandchildren will be living under communist rule and not one bomb or bullet will have to be ignited or shot to bring about this change. Mommar Khadify has also waxed about such things only saying it would be Islam that would be new rule in the United States and all that would be required is fertile women to fill the land with Soldiers of Allah offspring. It was Khadify that said we should make Obama a ruler for life and he was his fellow Kenyan Muslim. Pretty scary… anyway thank God for the rise of the Tea Party NO ONE had counted on that x-factor in the mix to interrupt these frightening predictions.
