I AM A NEW YORKER in memory of 9-11

[Guno צְבִי]

I am a New Yorker
Whatever took me out of New York:

Business, family or hating the cold

did not take New York out of me.

My accent may have faded and my pace may have slowed

But I am a New Yorker


I am a New Yorker
I was raised on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and Rockefeller Plaza,

The Yankees or the Mets (Giants or Dodgers)

Jones Beach, Rye Beach, Rockaway Beach or one of the beaches
on the sound

I know that "THE END" means Montauk.

Because I am a New Yorker


I am a New Yorker
When I go on vacation, I never look up

Skyscrapers are something I take for granted

The Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty are part of me

Taxis and noise and subways and "get outa heah" don't rattle me

Because I am a New Yorker


I am a New Yorker
I was raised on cultural diversity before it was politically correct

I eat Greek food and Italian food, Jewish and Middle Eastern food and

Chinese food

Because they are all American food to me.

I don't get mad when people speak other languages in my presence

Because my relatives got to this country via Ellis Island and chose to stay

They were New Yorkers



My friends and family work in the industries, professions and
businesses that benefit all Americans

My firefighters died trying to save New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers

They died trying to save Americans and non-Americans

Because they were New Yorkers.


I am a New Yorker
I feel the pain of my fellow New Yorkers

I mourn the loss of my beautiful city

I feel and dread that New York will never be the same

But then I remember:

I am a New Yorker


And New Yorkers have:
Tenacity, strength and courage way above the norm

Compassion and caring for our fellow citizens

Love and pride in our city, in our state, in our country

Intelligence, experience and education par excellence

Ability, dedication and energy above and beyond

Faith--no matter what religion we practice

Terrorists hit America in its heart

But America's heart still beats strong

Demolish the steel in our buildings, but it doesn't touch the steel
in our souls

Hit us in the pocketbook; but we'll parlay what we have left into a
fortune

End innocent lives leaving widows and orphans, but we'll take care of
them

Because they are New Yorkers


Wherever we live, whatever we do, whoever we are
There are New Yorkers in every state and every city of this nation

We will not abandon our city

We will not abandon our brothers and sisters

We will not abandon the beauty, creativity and diversity that New York represents

Because we are New Yorkers

And we are proud to be New Yorkers

We need to NEVER forget what the savages from the Middle East did to our great city and to the Pentagon that day and how MANY people that were killed by the beasts. We CAN NOT forget that there ARE some from the Middle East who are brutal animals that wish to do nothing but harm to our great country. We HAVE to make sure this never happens again. Thank you.

He had to marry a shiksa because she could gobble his pork.

So basically now you're fucking up someone else's city.

That's almost funny. (stressing the word 'almost')

Nice to know that it raised a titter at least!

Why don't you go back to NY instead of trying to fuck up NC.

Ha-ha, you said "tittter".

 

[Cancel 2020.2]

Why don't you go back to NY instead of trying to fuck up NC.

Fine idea, I'll second THAT notion.

 

[CFM]

Fine idea, I'll second THAT notion.

He was part of what fucked up NY and that wasn't good enough for him. Now, he's trying to fuck up a wonderful place like NC. Ship him back and lock the door behind him.

I'd say ship his sorry black ass BACK TO AFRICA. THAT would suffice.

Radical Islamic terrorists didn't stand a chance defeating New York City. It took retard radical Leftist Progressive Democrats like The Blasé-O to do it in.

@ post 1

My papa came to the USA speaking probably ten words of English. New York had the vibrant immigrant community from his home country that supported him and allowed him to be comfortable, while he gradually adapted.

I cannot imagine anywhere else in the USA at that time that would have offered that kind of environment for him.
