Might be more interesting, though, to see what the fallout from the Intl Burn a Quran Day ends up being.Terry Jones makes me proud to be a Christian. Those warm Christian feeling shared around a roaring fire while singing Kumbaya is just what Christi...  [Read More]

Let's see what happens on 09/11/2010, families of 09/11/2001 victims have asked both the protestors and the counter-protestors, of the planned Mosque two blocks away from Ground Zero, to honor the dead and not hold their rallies on the anniversary....  [Read More]

National security? Nope, there is no way to prove allowing the Mosque to be built will impact National Security anymore than illegally violating our own rule of law and not allowing it to be built. Avoiding civil unrest? Nope, again as your buddy li...  [Read More]

Nor do I support any form of discrimination. You do mean you do not support any form of discrimination, except in this one particular case. Right? :rolleyes: Because how else would you describe adamantly wanting the federal government (when it is som...  [Read More]

Of course, the development failed to secure funding and ended up an empty lot in the end.Which is all that may happen now as they do not have the funding for the center now and the reports I've read said it will be 2014 or later before they build the...  [Read More]

Which, according to the recent Kelo decision by the USSC, the city or state of NY could legally "seize" the property and compensate the developers for their out-of-pocket investment. Only if the city or state built something there in the p...  [Read More]

I’d be more interested to know how many of the 70%, knowing the facts, are merely opposed to the Mosque being built near ground zero and how many actually expect the federal government to stop it from being built because of their opposition...  [Read More]

I did not say merely principles. You said that. I am arguing that principles should benefit those who they are built by and for. You know, "By the people, for the people"? Or does that have no importance? Last I checked, the people the fou...  [Read More]

This was not a direct, "your views offend me", but I got the impression that you highly value principles and did not wish to discuss whether one should act on them. Also, "complete silliness"? Please correct me if I am wrong, but...  [Read More]

Here's the aerial view for reference. It's technically only two blocks from the WTC complex. Which only proves the Mosque site is not at ground zero. Ground Zero – 1. Exact point where a nuclear explosion happens. 2. A place at the center of fa...  [Read More]

The only way Muslim extremist will defeat the U.S. is if we allow our fear to destroy the principles this country was founded on. It is not the high road, it is the right road. As to the government speaking out in favor of the Mosque, well they took...  [Read More]

My definition of Ground Zero is the site of the World Trade Center. The President and the government is not disrespecting those that died on September 11th, 2001. First this is not a federal issue, it is a New York State and New York City issue. 2n...  [Read More]

Ron Paul says that the protests of the mosque are "Islamophobic". (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20014453-503544.html) Either I need to rethink my position or I believe this is the first time Ron Paul and I have agreed on anything...  [Read More]

You're not debating anything. 1. The Mosque is not being built at Ground Zero. 2. The Government is not helping. 3. You cannot pick and choice who gets Tax Free Financing. (Either they qualify or they don’t.) 1st that would be discrimi...  [Read More]
