We need a good timeline and explanation of what’s been stopping the rebuilding of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at Ground Zero

For nine years now, Democrats have blocked the rebuilding of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Chrisitan Church at Ground Zero, using various bureaucratic Port Authority tricks to keep the church in ruins.

St. Nicholas stood at Ground Zero since 1922. Before there ever was a World Trade Center. Before buildings that tall were even possible. Before commercial jetliners flew the skies.

Why have Democrats worked so hard to keep St. Nicholas from rebuilding, but have jumped through all manner of hoops, gleefully, to fast track construction of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque?

Here’s what we want to create: a side-by-side timeline of the efforts undertaken to thwart St. Nicholas while simultaneously pushing the Ground Zero Victory Mosque.

We envision this timeline being made into a wonderful piece of campaign material to be sent to voters asking them if the Democrat Party represents THEIR cultural values.

Can you help fill in the story of what’s been going on with St. Nicholas?

just seems like negotiations and both sides being hard to please is holding up negotiations

that and its a situation actually ON GROUND ZERO , as opposed to near it and the authorities already have certain plans they dont want to be disrupted,,,,

The Greek Church would be "Rebuilding" what has already been established.

One of the restrictions was, it couldn't stand higher than the "non-existent" monument.

Are there any buildings or plans to build that are or, planned to be higher than the "monument"?
