What's the reason for the name drop?"...as the building moves out of the planning stage and into full construction and leasing, we believe that going forward it is most practical to market the building as One World Trade Center...we have the responsibility to make sure it is completed and that we utilize the best strategy to make certain it is fully occupied." --Stephen Sigmund
Ok...so keeping the name Freedom Towers will cause the building to not be "fully occupied." Who would be offended by it? Not England. Not France. Not Italy. Not Spain. Not India. Who? Arabs and other clods who hate freedom and sponsor terrorist activities.
So, like, do we really want those type in our country to begin with? No. I don't.
Bloomberg, to no surprise, has taken his usual liberal approach to the renaming.
"If they could rent the whole thing by changing the name, I guess they're going to do that, and they probably from a responsible point of view, should."
Responsible? Yes, let's let money rule the day. Let's put it before the lives of the thousands who died that day. The thousands who died at the hands and bank accounts of those they've changed the name of the towers for, so as not to offend them. G-d forbid we should criticise murderers.
Here's more of Bumberg's thoughts on the subject.
"From a patriotic point of view, is it going to make any difference?"
Mr. Bumberg, you obviously have no idea of what "patriotism" is, so let me remind you.
"Patriot: One who loves, supports and defends his country." --American Heritage Dictionary.
Yes, changing the name does make a difference. The reason the name has changed is to fill a building full of businesses who would be offended to be in a building named "Freedom Towers," a name that was to "demonstrate the country's triumph over terrorism."
Changing a name to make the part of the world that rejects freedom happy, is the opposite of patriotism. It's not defending one's country. It's spitting on it.
