Why is this Muslam Community Center a debate amongst our federal officials and those running for federal office...

What would you have the federal government do about it?


And if you would have the fed do nothing about it, why do you care what they think about the isuse?>
 
Is there anyway the federal government can prevent Jarod from creating another thread saying the exact same thing?
 
the solution is to tear down all religious institutions...world wide -then no one can complain where one is built

let everyone pray anytime in the open like god intended...if they want to that is
 
While I am not all of "the right", I will attempt to answer this question again... I expect leaders to lead. What we have now is an Administrator where we need an Executive.

Obama simply shouldn't have said anything.

This is a local issue if there ever was one. The best "leadership" he could have shown would have been to stay out of it.

I fully agree and have stated so many times. His best course of action would be to maintain the "It's only a local issue.." line. He tried to walk a thin line instead...

LOL @ your bad advice.

Checking out on an issue of this significance would be a major error, but you know that.

Not really, until he decided to attempt to talk about it without taking a stance the "it's solely a local issue" was working fine. It was when he tried to be all things to all people and talk about it without taking any firm stance that he wound up full of fail.

Why is your first emotive knee-jerk liberal reaction, that we want GOVERNMENT to do something? About this, or ANYTHING? I think it's remarkable that you automatically (as if programmed) believe that a solution rests with the government!

How about this, I think what Barack Obama said was fine, it was an excellent sentiment to express our principles for religious tolerance, and even the founding principles of religious freedom, I have no problem with what he said... it's what he didn't say! If he had continued on, after the part where he said they should have the right to build the mosque, with the following: But, let me be clear (he always says that), I believe this is an opportunity for the Muslim community to demonstrate respect and compassion for those who lost loved ones in those buildings on 9/11, and as a gesture of this, I would ask that they respectfully consider another location for the community center, or perhaps include Christians and other religions in a joint partnership venture together, and a tribute to our unity as a country and the memory of 9/11.

Had Obama said something along those lines, he would be a national hero today.

herein lies the flaw in yours, and most others, thinking. WE don't elect 'leaders'. WE elect people to do our will. Picture the US of A as a corporation. Picture 'we the people' as it's board of directors. Now picture the president as the CEO of the corp., the house as it's managers/advisors, and the judiciary as it's mediators.

WE don't elect people to 'lead' us, because WE are supposed to be the ones in charge.

But here's the flaw in your view... We are not like the "board of directors" in your analogy, because "boards of directors" don't ever consist of people who don't have a vested financial interest in the corporation. If only taxpayers were allowed to vote, then your analogy would be accurate.
 
"I believe this is an opportunity for the Muslim community to demonstrate respect and compassion for those who lost loved ones in those buildings on 9/11"

You're talking about Muslims here as though they are not Americans.

I really can't imagine what it must be like to be a Muslim American and hear some of these discussions.

my analogy is quite sound. it's not my fault that the 'progressives' have created an illegal group of directors.

Regardless, show me a board of directors who have no vested financial interest in the company of which they sit on the board? It's insane, no corporation would EVER implement such an idea, and if they did, they probably wouldn't be in business long.

Your analogy is sound with the exception of that part, which is probably the most important part.

How am I talking about Muslims as if they aren't Americans? Are you sure you're not just "reading" that into what I posted, because that is what you want to hear?

Well, since you can't imagine what it's like for a Muslim American hearing some of these discussions, perhaps you can imagine what it's like hearing them if you lost a loved one in those towers on 9/11? I listened to some of those people over the weekend, and as a person well-trained in human behavior, what I heard in their voices can only be described as emotional trauma. These people are literally shocked into speechlessness, that anyone would even dare consider building a tribute to Islam at this site. It's offensive, it's appalling, and it certainly isn't a source of "outreach" from the Muslim community.

This is just plain WRONG on so many levels, yet here you are, sidling up to it, like the low life piece of human filth you are! You just can't help your immoral self, can you?

You've got it backwards, as usual.

If Muslim Americans are Americans just like you & me, then this mosque wouldn't even be a hint of an issue. But they're not. They're "the enemy." They're "the ones who attacked us." That's what you've been saying, isn't it? You & all of the rest?

You don't get it. What in the world do the Muslims who want to build this center have to do with the villains who attacked us on 9/11?

According to you - everything. Because somehow, it's a big deal if they build a mosque there. Because they aren't really Americans.

I'll bet anything that you & your melodramatic arse still don't get it.
