Listen, folks, I am from New York City. I worked as a law enforcement officer at 2 World Trade Center in Manhattan. On September 11th, 2001, exactly 39 former co-workers were murdered by Radical Islamic Terrorists. If I had not changed jobs right before the terrorist attack, I would have been number 40. Stop harassing @RepFine over his intolerance of arrogant jackasses who come to this country, think they can take over, and try to impose their religious will and cultural beliefs on the rest of us. We will not be bullied into submission. That is not what our founding fathers or the Lady in the harbor had in mind when extending invitations for you to come here. It doesn't matter what religion you subscribe to. If you want to live in America among Americans, then you need to become an American and adopt our values. That means you have to tolerate other religions and cultures. You do not dictate our dietary practices or what pets we keep. You don't inconsiderately wake the entire city up at 5AM because you feel like it. We have laws, ordinances and rules that you must abide by and respect. As for dogs, I run a trade group for over-the-road, long haul truckers (Truckers.com). These are the men and women who keep our supply chain intact. Your grocery store shelves don't magically get stocked by fairies in the middle of the night. Truckers bring you your food, baby formula, heart medication, clothing, electronics and lumber for new home construction. Truckers keep dogs as companions because trucking is a lonely occupation. They also keep dogs for personal protection because they sleep in the cabs of their trucks at truck stops when they can find safe truck parking, and in dangerous, desolate areas when they can't. Sometimes, they even get killed. Dogs also force drivers to get daily exercise. They walk their dogs so they don't get blood clots or sciatica. And many of our truckers have served this country in our military and suffer from PTSD. Their service dogs help them cope with battlefield flashbacks and trauma. So, we in the trucking industry really don't want to hear from people who don't want Americans owning dogs because you think they are "unclean." And we will not let you try to twist this into an "Islamophobia" issue and take swings at an honorable member of Congress with impunity. Not on our watch. This is not about Islam or the Muslim religion. This is simply about egotistical arrogance and self-centered narcissism. What Congressman Fine is saying is, if you want to live in America and be accepted in America, then stop acting like a sociopath. Adapt to our American values as embodied by our Constitution or go home. There is nothing wrong with saying that. If you happen to identify as an arrogant, narcissistic sociopath, then that's on you. There are 3.9 million red-blooded all-American patriotic truckers in America of all races, cultures and religions who are not going to be dictated to by anybody. We're not giving up our dogs or our way of life for anybody. We've fought wars over totalitarian fascists like you before. Be advised the colors of our Grand Old Flag don't run. So, if you're looking for a fight over your attack on Americans' rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and 250 years of the American way, then go ahead keep this nonsense up. You're going to find one. In the halls of Congress, in the Courts, and if need be, in the streets of America. We don't care who you think you are. Be advised, we are at ZERO TOLERANCE and you just pissed off a lot of Americans who have had enough!
