It seems a wrong needs to be righted and the fault is my own. My 911 Hard Hat Pledge to band together fellow Americans to stand in defiance of the very hurtful and distasteful Ground Zero Mosque had spawned a Face Book Boycott. One of my volunteers out west began it and I approved it. It simply put either people and or groups on there who were outwardly in supoport of the Ground Zero Mosque. Some of the culprits were Jon Stewart, Mike Bloomberg and GQ magazine to mention a few.Well it wasn’t till Justin Bieber came out on it that garnered attention. The individual running the site had read an article referencing Tiger Beat’s magazine interview with Bieber where he had informed them his support of it. Well it turned out the interview was a fake but we didn’t find out until quite recently. Weeks ago I did several interviews with media on it and said my children who were fans were upset and my 8 year old took down her posters in her room and my boy said he will not be going to any Justin Bieber concerts after this. My kids are 11 and 8 but if you are a borderline Boomer you know that’s like 18 and 25 by today’s standards. My children were free to make up their own minds regarding Bieber and I respected their convictions. I did not demand or restrict anything in any way I felt that this was an important way for them to get a taste of what it’s like to make an adult decision.
So in closing I offer my most genuine apology to Justin Bieber his family and his fans. If I have caused any grief or pain I am terribly sorry. I for one know what that can do to someone and their family. I also hope this does not detract from our” Sacrificed Survivors” cross country Tour where will be be taking on Imam Rauff and his Pro Ground Zero Mosque Band of propagandists. The Tour begins the 15th of January in Dearborn Mich. Stay tuned I am sure the sparks will be flying.
Choose your Bloomberg Nightmare….so many choices.
It looks like Mayor Mike can now add to his resume 2 deaths one senior citizen and one infant. Way to go Mayor Bloomberg. Who you gonna pressure now? Can’t write a check to Lady Death. I wouldn’t take all the billions in the world to have that on my soul. You cannot interfere with fate without it taking a piece of your soul. I believe this perfect storm of snow has served its’ purpose Mike. Your political career is beginning to unravel and I am thanking God for it. Not so long ago you forgot why the people put you where you are and why you began this march to megalomania and how it has consumed you and because of your bad choices actions that you have taken have stolen 2 lives from their families. I will pray for you Mayor Mike but I rejoice in the fact that this event will haunt you and your now dying political career. R.I.P.
Here is a recent editorial in the NY Post on Mayor Bloomburg’s ties with the Mosque.
You can read the actual article
here.
As long as Mayor Mike is in the dock, let us also note that when it comes to building a mosque near Ground Zero, he has from the start stood behind the First Amendment — sort of.
That is, he likes the part that gives Muslims the right to build a house of worship just about anywhere they want.
But the part guaranteeing a separation between religion and government?
Not so much.
That much became obvious last week with the release of e-mails demonstrating that City Hall did much more than offer the mosque’s organizers routine help.
In fact, it turns out that Team Bloomberg was heavily involved in operating the political machinery needed to ensure that various regulatory agencies approved the controversial project — which has rightly drawn the ire of many 9/11 survivors and victims’ families.
Even to the point of pressing Community Board 1 to cast an approving vote — so that the chairman of the Landmarks Preservation Commission could be given the “political cover” he so urgently sought before his agency denied landmark status to the existing building.
That not only raises First Amendment questions — it also provides serious doubts about the legitimacy of the LPC vote, which appears to have been dictated far more by politics than by any consideration of the building’s architectural and historical merit.
Bloomberg’s community affairs commissioner even ghost-wrote a letter to CB1 on behalf of Daisy Khan, wife of mosque promoter Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. Meanwhile, officials intervened to obtain permits so that prayers could be conducted at the site.
Bloomberg’s office maintains that the mayor’s staff did nothing out of the ordinary on behalf of the mosque.
But if that’s so, why did City Hall wait nearly five months before responding to the Freedom of Information request from the American Center for Law & Justice — acquiescing just before Christmas?
Moreover, City Hall held back some documents, claiming exemptions for privileged communications.
All this is objectionable on its face.
But the violence it does the First Amendment takes the offense to a fundamentally higher level.
Government has no business advocating for any religion. That’s the principle that chased Nativity scenes from the public square.
Leave it to Mike Bloomberg to cherry-pick one of America’s founding principles.
I will be going to Dearborn Mich. To do battle with Imam Feisal Rauff and his band of pro Ground Zero Mosque jihadis on the 15th of January. I love the fact I will be in Islamic capital of the United States. Cannot wait to confront them on their stolen turf. The members of the Christian Action Network are nervous but I’m loving it! We will have Frank Gaffney and Tim Brown and Debra Burlingame and these pups are tough so get ready for some serious fireworks. I will be exposing all of the Mayor’s backroom deals and his patronage concerning the Building Department, Community Board 1 and the Landmark Commission. Also the very nefarious activities of the Devil’s Triangle of Rauff, Gamal and Elzanaty.
You have Imam Rauff who’s father was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood who has been recorded saying that he does not know what all the fuss is about when these very same peoples kids and grandkids will be Muslim. Or that the attacks of 911 were inspired by United States policies or that Osama Bin Laden was basically made in the US of A. And my favorite was when he said on CNN if we don’t build it we will definitely get hit because the “Radicals”( us) have taken over the debate. Then we have my fellow Brooklynite Shariff Al-Gamal who has been convicted for soliciting prostitutes and for assault and battery and putting a man in the hospital for not paying his brother’s rent. Finally the “Money Man” Hisham Elzanaty who has been busted for medicare fraud somewhere in the area of 300,000 dollars AND when the terrorist front group The Holy Land Foundation was busted his name was in their records. Talk about a trio of trouble! These guys are dirty through and through and we’re going to expose them so stay tuned the sparks will be a flying!
Also want to put out there that if you are interested in having a screening in your area please go to my Face Book and we will come! God Bless America!
Picture’s worth a thousand words? Your damn right it is. Look at this! Unreal today waking up to that. Where the heck is Al Gore and his Global Warming rhetoric now? Polar Bears could migrate to Queens and live pretty comfortably except for the high taxes. Unless they’re being subsidized by the state. I wouldn’t put it past these leftist and their controlling ways. Gore is probably on the other side of the planet giving a seminar on rocks beneath the earth that are several million degrees. BTW the SUN is around 30,000 degrees and we have rocks beneath the earth’s crust that are millions of degrees?!! Poor Al is going a little Koo Koo Bye Bye and when I say poor I don’t mean financially. That man has built an empire on his lies and it has paid well. Mostly because these leftist groups are being funded by the same people who want to steal your freedom and enslave this great nation.

Please be careful out there and for those of you with heart ailments like myself do not over shovel it is not worth losing you.
Good Luck and God Bless!
” Passing Zadroga is NO Christmas Miracle,” says Andy Sullivan
New York, NY (December 22, 2010) – Hard Hat Andy Sullivan, founder of the 9/11 Hard Hat Pledge, responded today to the passing of the Zadroga Billl.
Mr. Sullivan is a Survivor of the World Trade Center Attacks. “Today New York State Senator Gillbrand called the passing of the Zadroga Bill a “Christmas miracle.” To those who were there on that day it is not a miracle but rather justice. Frankly it is justice very late in coming. I can not help but wonder about the heroes who have died while waiting for this bill to be signed.”
Andy Sullivan states: “What would truly be a miracle would be for politicians like Bloomberg, Gillibrand and Schumer to put the 911 victims and Survivors before their own political interests. It would really be miraculous indeed to have these three politicians actually stop and listen to the 911 families who are begging for their help to move the Ground Zero Victory Mosque to another location. These politicians claim to be standing up for those who are suffering as a result of 911, yet they insist on supporting the building of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque.” According to Sullivan 911 families and survivors have contacted these same politicians and humbly pleaded for their assistance in stopping the GZ Victory Mosque.”
Mr. Sullivan questions, “How can anyone be in support of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque and the Zadroga Bill? The Zadroga Bill attempts to ease suffering of 911 families. The Ground Zero Victory Mosque plunges a dagger through the hearts of these same 911 families.”
Many times I get inquiries about what it is I do for a living. Well I was on the job site today and decided to put the political sword down and to give my friends and readers a peek into the work life of a NYC construction worker. I am a drywall taper by trade. I have done all phases of construction but taping by far was what I excelled at. Here in New York we were the last state to adapt to the automatic way of taping but at my company we had the jump on everyone because I was working with these tools back in the 80′s where we worked per board.
Today I must admit I was very proud watching these men who I have trained to mechanic status work the tools as if they were born using them. I do feel sorry for them though for I surely know that when the big 4 0 comes a screaming those knees and back and joints really come to life and you begin to have to limit your movements and start to adjust your technique. Anyone who works with their hands know exactly where I’m coming from.

Well I hope you enjoy this little peek into the drywall finishing world if you have any questions or something to add please do. Either here or on youtube at andybluecollar or find me on Face Book.
The Christian Action Network documentary: Sacrificed Survivors: The Stories behind the Ground Zero Mosque/ will be going on tour!
The response to our New York debut was remarkable. As moving as the film was what really got the intense reaction was the Post Movie Panel afterwards. The debate was intelligent and heated. It was also was great for people to voice their own opinions and get the responses from the audience. At times it got quite intense but it was very civilized and everyone got a chance to speak.
If any of my readers or pledges out there would be interested in hosting a screening of the film and the debate panel following it they can go to my message board or Face Book page and request more info for it.
I will be on the panel myself taking questions and making statements when I feel it is necessary. Believe me this is no love fest I welcome healthy debate and would look forward to confronting the other side in particular. We will be tempting some of Blue Collar Corners favorite sons and daughters.
As you can see we have some very powerful people that follow Blue Collar Corner and who I’m sure would love to come out in public to talk about these very important issues such as the Ground Zero Mosque and the legitimacy of “Creeping Shariah” or “Violent Jihad” and ” Soft Jihad” these are all topics that bring heated debate and need to be addressed in a polite and informative way. Please accept our invitation it will be a very exciting and educational night. 
” Excuse me is this the meeting for the 111th Congress”? “ Yes are you a member or do you want to join”? ” I’m not sure don’t know if I have a problem” the leader smiled condescendingly and with a chuckle said ” Of course you do come right in we are about to begin”
Good evening citizens. My name is Congress and I’m a spendaholic. ” HI CONGRESS” responded the crowd. I have an uncontrollable urge to spend the American citizens money. I write laws that I do not abide by. I am not beholden to the Free Market or Common Sense. You lose your job and we vote ourselves raises. When we become broke we just print some more money or if we’re too lazy just borrow it from China. We never rat on each other because we are all guilty of heinous crimes against you all and what a good laugh we have about that very thing…. at your expense of course.
We love our Lame Duck session. Actually it should be the :You Voted us out so go F*&$K Yourself Session : because that is exactly what we do to you. Well no hard feelings at this end. The amount of Lobbyist kickbacks and entitlements that we walk away with is absolutely sinful. We will live very comfortably.
I must tell you though I was so happy to have served my nation by stripping you good people of yet again more of your hard earned dollars and that little thing called Freedom. There is an almost God-like feeling that goes along with enslaving a person at the height of their potential. There is one aspect that I honestly could not figure out. How do you people actually keep believing what we say? Even the most exploited ones. The people who think we are out for the middle class or the poor or the sick. We are having an amazing life thanks in full to our liberals who either love for us to steal and imprison them or maybe they are just too stupid to realize the fact that you mean nothing more to us then nutrition for our mammoth egos..Not only that you defend us?!!?? How ironically delicious.
Damn you Tea Party bastards! It is you I blame for losing my job. But as I told you we will give you a little grab bag of oppression before we go!
Come to think of it maybe it is you fine patriots that need a 12 step program. It baffles me it has taken you fools so long to vote me out of office. I have been lying and pocketing shameful amounts of cash all in the name of “The People”
Well thanks for memories and the dollars. Yours Truly The 111th Congress
Imam Feisal Rauff the infamous Imam from the Ground Zero Mosque did an interview where he stated that after his experience with the entire GZ Mosque quagmire that it inspired him to go ahead and begin the planning’s to open up “Cultural Centers all over the world. Now did I miss something? I was at the GZ Mosque the other day posing as an inspector and they are doing construction work in there as I write this. Please tell me why you would waste time , money and resources on doing work in a building that you were going to demolish?
I think he’s done. I think that he wanted to see if the country had become a terminal victim to the “Political Correctness Syndrome”. I think that he had so much pressure from reasonable, moderate Muslim groups and leaders that he has chosen instead to just renovating the building they now occupy. Surely he doesn’t think that we … the people would allow this building which is a historical landmark regardless of what the commission says be destroyed? Never! We will lay down in the streets if we have to because this building represents the 1st strike of the attacks on 911. Before Mohammad Atta’s plane hit the North Tower it lost its landing gear – all 1,000 pounds of it. Traveling at 500 mph it came crashing through the roof of 45-51 Park Place. This was as destructive as any bomb. The roof was destroyed and 2 of the interior landings completely penetrated. Now even though we never did a DNA sweep of the premises ( Which is another story for another day) they did all of the repair work with absolutely NO PERMITS or supervision or inspection. Hell we can’t even build a deck outside your house without someone ratting you out to the DOB. Yet they have all along been granted the opportunity to work and issued bogus Certificates to Assemble which are used for outdoor events to remain in the building which the Fire Department has deemed Hazardous. They do this because it was important to have the place an active thriving place of worship which it was not. I have been there many times recently even and never have seen the numbers go into the hundred much less thousands. They were counting on the funds to come pouring in but as this is being written Thug Waiter turned Real Estate Mogul Sharif Al-Gamal is being taken to court yet again by another bank for defaulting yet again on another 6 figure loan. Is this an enterprise that is about to take on a 150 million dollar project? And if you know anything about NYC construction the budget of 150 easily turns into 250 million in the blink of an eye.
Now I know they are some of you that believe he’s going to manage to do it anyways but fear not just because I think it’s dead I will be fighting it as if it were not. Regardless of their plans here in NY we need to be vigilant on this Shariah Menace and its’ many forms for even if I am right and we have won the day it will not quietly go away and will raise its’ head elsewhere. We will be fighting this war long after we’re gone so go my friends and protect these Freedoms and Liberties that were fought for and died for by some of the greatest heroes in our nation’s history. Ronald Reagan said it only takes one generation to lose our Freedoms. Let that generation NOT be us. God bless you all and this great nation.
