Superb, Lizzie. Just superb.<\/a><\/p>\nNow and then I read about some dumb draconian bureaucrat who issues an edict that nobody can pray or sing \u201cGod bless America\u201d before a football\u2013and who is simply drowned out by spontaneous mass recitation of the Lord\u2019s Prayer or singing \u201cGod bless America\u201d by the crowd of normal healthy sane people in the audience while he stamps his tiny foot in impotent rage.<\/p>\n
I hope normal healthy citizens of that beautiful ballsy town of New York just ignore Bloomberg\u2019s stupid Sanitized for Their Protection 9\/11 event and meet over at St. Patrick\u2019s for a real Memorial Service that allows people to do what normal people do: honor heroes, grieve, and hand their dead over to the care of God. Let it feature clergy from every major tradition represented by the population of New York (yes, including Muslims, dozens of whom were killed in the Towers). Either that, or may the crowd that assembles spontaneously begin singing\u2013loudly\u2013the St. Francis prayer or \u201cDona Nobis Pacem\u201d while Bloomberg drones on. That Fr. Mychal Judge and the doomed heroes he blessed are not welcome at this \u201cMemorial\u201d says everything that needs to be said about the evil of the secularist attempt to make a desert and call it peace. I hope Bloomberg re-election bid goes down in flames.<\/p>\n
