What surprises me is the comments of those who say they are Conservatives. Your very idealogy means you support this measure.
If you say you support the Constitution, then you support the right of the owner of this Mosque to practise his religious faith in this country.
If you say the U.S. is a nation of laws, then you support the legal right for this Mosque to be built exactly in the location where it was originally planned as long as the proper building permits were applied for, purchased and zoning codes are followed.
If you say you support the basic rights of Americans under the Bill of Rights, then you have no choice but to support the right for this Mosque to be built.
The President of the United States of America is affirming that we are a nation that does not ignores the basic rights of its citizens and will uphold the rule of law no matter how painful it may be at times.
They have right to. I don't think anyone is arguing that point.
However if RAUF is about building bridges as he says, then he should listen to the majority of Americans who are against it. They don't want it there, yet are going to be forced to tolerate it. This bridge fails before it's built.
