They can't hire non-union workers, not in NYC, the workers can just call in sick over and over in fact the slower they go the more work they get. Not to mention they still have to get the materials out of the docks and pass inspections.
 
I will post again:

Navy Pride can you tell me what the difference between arab and islamic is? Probably not.

if it weren't for Liberals, all Muslims in this country would probably be in concentration camps.

Not true, George W Bush liked them so much he held hands with them:

Again, you went from making sound factual points to desperate wishful thinking. This is NYC we are talking about, not Alabama. They'll do the job. And don't forget, 2/3 of terrorist attacks in the U.S. are domestic. Don't let the xenophobic, group-think, "us vs them", neo-crusade mentality get a hold of you. That right there is what has started many of the world's wars.

Ya and the majority of New Yorkers are opposed to the building of this Mosque.

They'll do the job.

If it's a 1 year project it's going to take 3.

Annually? I don't think so but it would depend on how we are defining domestic. Nidal Hasan for example, would you consider him a domestic terrorist even though he was a clear product of the global jihadist movement?

So you're saying that people are always right and we should dictate policy by polls?

I remember a certain Democrat President who got endless flak for doing just that.

no, that would be silly

he needs to make sure, if he wants to be an effective leader, to lead the folks he wants to lead in the direction he wants to lead em

not piss em off, that'd be the stupid part

Okay, constutionally, and heritage wise, the Cordoba Initative should be allowed to be built. How can we call ourselves Americans, the land of the free, founded partially by escaping religious persecution Americans when we deny other religions their right to build their own houses of worship? Not to mention blantant disregard of property rights.

Clearly some people don't want this, what is your proposal for Obama to get people onboard?

Correction. Obama is a Secret Closet Muslim, Godzilla, Zombie, Kenyian Russian Triple Agent, born in Switerland to Nazi trained parents.

Seriously Apdst. Get it right.

Well, I assume you only define domestic terrorism as acts of terrorism committed by White, Anglo-Saxon Protestants. So yes, even in this case, according to the FBI most terrorism is domestic.

how can improvers of relations so openly go about offending those with whom they claim they want to be better friends?

listen to the people with whom you wish to improve relations
 
If Obama isn't a Muslim, then why is he celebrating Ramadan at the White House?

Things that make ya go, "hmmmm!"

The biggest curiosity is, why are Obama-bots soooooo worried that people claim that he's a Muslim?

What was your point to begin with...

"Obama's a muslim"

Care to prove it...?

Fine.

APDST is a Muslim, EVERYONE HE'S A MUSLIM! I know its true because I said so!

Wow! You're offended!...LOL!!!

Why would he be celebrating ramadan, in the white house, if he weren't a Muslim?
 
The Ramadan celebrations start around the second week of September. A Muslim like you should know that.

And why did Bush, and Clinton, and everybody else?? "Last night, President Obama continued the White House tradition of hosting an Iftar – the meal that breaks the day of fasting – celebrating Ramadan in the State Dining Room."

Funny how Obama doesn't continue Christian traditions. Or, is that different?
 
MaggieD said:
I agree with him, too. But I don't see him as "supporting the mosque." I see him as supporting their right to build it. There's a difference. "Wow, a Mosque is just what we need!!! Yay!!!" as opposed to ""As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country." That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

Pretty gutsy move, actually.

Very nice post. More people need to read and actually understand this.
 
apdst said:
Your point?
Click to expand...

That many conservatives are xenophobic, jingoistic, fear-mongering, uneducated Obamaphobes, and therefore base most of their arguments on stereotypes, unfounded beliefs, xenophobia and social fascism. If it was up to them, blacks would still be in slavery, women still wouldn't be allowed to vote, the civil rights movement would have never occurred, gays wouldn't be allowed to marry and Muslims would be in concentration camps.

What Christian traditions doesn't he continue?

If you mean he doesn't go to church every sunday, I'm actually kinda happy about that, at least god isn't telling him to invade 3rd World Countries.
