Vdare- In the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, the New York Fire Department (FDNY) astonished the world with its bravery, skill, and solidarity. This didn’t just happen by accident. As many profiles of the FDNY have shown, New York’s Bravest have a long tradition of service which is often passed down from father to son [Telling the story of New York’s bravest, by Todd Leopold, CNN, November 11, 2002]. The FDNY is perhaps the most widely admired public institution in the country, legends and heroes to almost all Americans.
Naturally, the federal government has been doing its best to destroy them ever since September 11.
The September 11 memorial statue which was canceled for being too white was simply a harbinger of things to come.
Thanks to a typically unhinged judge, who blasted the FDNY as a bastion of “white male privilege,” affirmative action has been massively imposed. Mayor Bill de Blasio has shelled out almost $100 million to minority applicants to the FDNY. Exams no longer ask about firefighting because if they did, not enough minorities would be able to pass. Not surprisingly, some of the affirmative action hires are not just unqualified, but actually afraid to fight fires.
As long as New Yorker’s vote for Democrats, let them wallow in it. No sympathy here.
Great! Before you call FD, make sure you lock up your valuables.
Liberal make work program — start fires, then put ’em out.
Let’s do this for the police too!
Kill people, rob widows and then investigate yourself.
