re: Whiny New Yorkers Blinded by the Truth

Dateline: April 2006, Upper West Side, NYC

They showed a trailer of the upcoming movie about United 93, about 9/11. The AMC Loews theater on 66th Street took the rare step of pulling the trailer for the upcoming movie "United 93" about 9/11 from its screens after several complaints. "'One lady was crying,' says one of the theater's managers, Kevin Adjodha. 'She was saying we shouldn't have [played the trailer]. That this was wrong ... I don't think people are ready for this.'"

When the trailer played before 'Inside Man' last week at the famed Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, audience members began calling out, 'Too soon!'

This story has to be told to honor the passengers and crew for what they did. But more than that, it raises awareness. Our ports aren't secure. Our borders aren't secure. Our airlines still aren't secure, and this is what happens when you're not secure. That's the message I think people need to be reminded of - NOW.

Can you believe this crap?

The networks will still not show pictures of that day, 9/11, we're in the midst of an argument in this country over whether it is worthwhile to prevent another such attack. The Democrats in this country are doing everything they can to stop the President from finding out via the NSA spy program. Censure and future impeachment movement if they win back the House, is one thing they're targeting.

The same people that are telling movie theaters on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, 'Don't show me; it's too soon,' are probably the same bunch who couldn't wait to go see Fahrenheit 9/11 two or three times.

I will guarantee you that the vast majority of the residents on the Upper West Side are the same people who think it's silly that we're doing what we're doing in Iraq and that it's silly that the war on terror is being fought the way it is. And yet Bush lied about all this, Bush knew about it, he was going to let it happen. And yet the very event that has made this a reality for us and our lives today, they don't have the guts to look at, they don't have the courage to look at it, too soon, too soon.

I think there are too many people that want to pretend that 9/11 didn't happen; they want to go through life and forget it. Democrats have been playing on that by trying to create this pre-9/11 world and mentality. I think people need to be shocked back to realty.

Too soon? It's been too long! People have forgotten what it's all about. This movie would serve the purpose of reminding everybody why we are in the posture that we're in, why we have to assume the responsibilities, and why it's crucial who leads the nation in future years in this effort.
