President Obama comes out in support of Ground Zero mosque

I see no evidence to suggest its being built by Islamic supremeists with that intention, but rather average peace loving moderate guys like you and me. Stop being so hateful.

Your refusal to see does not mean the evidence hasn't been put in front of you.

If you want to tell people to stop being hateful, I recommend you e-mail the insensitive intolerant muslim imams backing the project to move it elsewhere.

Hint: New York City has a magnificent public transportation network and there's no reason, none at all, that the Temple to Terrorism can't be built in another part of New York to service all the muslims just pining for access to a mosque.

I'd be glad if the US sold them the UN building.
 
No, he really can't, because it's a local hot issue and he doesn't want to add any fuel to the fire. The specifics are not for him to comment on. Judging by how long he held off on saying anything, he knows this needs to be handled and dealt with on the local level.

Actually, it's an American hot issue, just as it would be if the Japanese tried to buy the USS Arizona. The Islamic attack at the World Trade Center was an attack on the United States, not an attack on New York City.

Frankly, the Messiah has a really interesting habit of speaking without thinking, like when he confessed to being a flaming socialist to Joe the Plumber, or when he blindly took the side of his racist friend at Hahvahd who was arrested for causing a public disturbance. No, the po-leece did not act "stupidly", Perfesser Bigot did.

All that aside, the Messiah's speech on Friday was deliberate, planned, and teleprompted, and 100% wrong. It does matter that radical islamic terrorists are trying to build a celebratory monument on Ground Zero, and it does matter that a President trained as a child in an Indonesian madrassas is siding with the enemies of the Republic on this issue.

And yet NYC zoning decisions remain none of your business.
 
I think my point has been made as far as why it was important for the President to support the building of this Mosque. We may not like it, but to not to do so would tread on our American values and the rule of law.



Nope.

You made no case to explain why this particular monument to terrorism should be built in that spot. Ergo, you have not explained why it is important for our Muslim president to support THIS mosque, only that as a matter of general principle, even terrorists have the freedom under the First Amendment to build temples someplace.

They do when those decisions, made for cash and influence, as all such things in New York are done for, contaminates a site hallowed for all Americans by the atrocities the financial backers of this abomination applauded.

What happened to the glory days of New York when Mayor Guiliani had the sense to tell a Saudi Prince to stuff his blood money up his ass?

I'm sorry, can't take it anymore. I need to see proof that our President is a Muslim.

Because they want to and the US Constitution guarantees them the right to build it wherever they Allah-well please without government intervention.

Proof positive. ;)

Actually, the Constitution grants the Freedom of Religion, not the Freedom of Construction.

Building religious buildings is a pretty damn important part of practicing your religion.

And even if you argue it ISN'T a religious building, but an "interpretive center" it's still an open and shut case since you'd be discriminating based on religion.

ah, so that's why he came out now

LOL!

then walked back his statement

then walked back the walk back

or so say the ny times, abc, politico (all links posted above)

this must be why, as well, he took this "local issue" and turned it into a "national firestorm," as politico's carol lee describes

thoughtlessly idiotic

the president, i mean
 
If it will keep a monument to terrorists out of the same zip code as Ground Zero, works for me.

By saying this you assume all Muslims are terrorists and that the property must therefore be a monument to terrorism since all Muslims agree with that.

That's faulty logic and ignorant.

Evidence to suggest they are extremists and support views of a terrorist nature please.

I'd appreciate it if you could debate without using childish insults like "temple of terrorism".
 

well, then, he'd have been smart to leave it a local issue

then, he might've had a chance of performing as anything other than the loser he is on just about every major issue facing this country in crisis

now that the issue has been made NATIONAL, the views of the locals in the apple are not quite as important or meaningful as they were, oh, say, the day before iftar

cnn has president pie-in-the-face upside down on this project, 68 to 29, a PLURALITY of 39 (only 3 points shy of obama's latest gallup JOB APPROVAL, another new all time low)

marist has 50% of empire state DEMS opposed to this plot

obama is a total fool, he does not know how to win the game of american politics

seeya in november

this, from a person who one post prior to this request to avoid childish insults called a MEMBER who happened to disagree "ignorant"

unbelievable
 
We did. You didn't accept it. That makes it your problem from now on. Not our's.

No proof was offered.

That's reality for ya.

I see proof of the Messiah's Muslim status was presented. Thus your denial of that reality is your problem.
