The Sissies won...

Yes. We are weak, pathetic creatures that need help when faced with adversity. We are like cattle caught int he mud field.

No, we are strong. Strong enough, spiritually, to help our neighbors in times of need, and postpone or forego, events that are superfluous.

Massive charity is superfluous. That's why you are a LOLberal and think you're a conservative.

Actually, I am more of a libertarian than anything. Entitlements and Dems and some Republicans, have created the "massive charity" governmental efforts you speak of, and with which we are stuck, until we can return to some sense of charity through the help of family and friends. This would take years, and actually will never happen.

"While holding the race would not require diverting resources from the recovery effort, it is clear that it has become the source of controversy and division," he said in a statement Friday evening shortly after NBC 4 New York and a few other media outlets reported the cancellation.

"We would not want a cloud to hang over the race or its participants, and so we have decided to cancel it," Bloomberg added. "We cannot allow a controversy over an athletic event -- even one as meaningful as this -- to distract attention away from all the critically important work that is being done to recover from the storm and get our city back on track."



A few hours earlier, Bloomberg told a press conference that holding the marathon would be a morale and money boost for the city.

“If you think back to 9/11, I think Rudy [Giuliani] made the right decision to run the marathon,” Bloomberg said of his predecessor after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. “It pulled people together and we have to find some ways to express ourselves and show solidarity to each other.”

The New York City marathon is the world largest, with tens of thousands of participants. In a typical year, New Yorkers line the route’s 26 miles, turning the city into a giant party.

The race winds through all five boroughs, but it starts in hard-hit Staten Island, parts of which look like a disaster zone.

New York City Councilman James Oddo, who represents sections of Staten Island and Brooklyn, had been leading the charge against the marathon.

“If they take one first responder from Staten Island to cover this marathon, I will scream. We have people with no homes and no hope right now,” he posted on Twitter earlier in the week.

At least 19 of New York's 41 deaths occurred in the oft-forgotten borough, home to 500,000. Officials are still searching homes for survivors.

No, definitely not liberal to support such a boldly retarded move over complaining.

Over complaining? Really?

“The prudent course of action here — postpone the marathon, come back a different day,” Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer told TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie. “Our first priority, let’s help people who lost their homes, who are missing loved ones."





Stringer said downtown Manhattan, the city’s financial hub, "looks like a wasteland" and is not close to being ready for the race, which goes through each of New York’s five boroughs.

Emotionally charged rhetoric of "too soon" weakness pushed as reason. While avoiding economic costs and the fact it doesn't hurt current efforts. It helps them. If you don't live here and don't know. Please. Fuck you very much for participating in the politicization of this charity event.
