What action does the right want the Government to take?

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.
I don't expect leaders to "do my will"... I expect them to lead. If he thinks that it is the right thing to do to build the mosque then carry that, or don't weigh in. This reiterating of the 1st, which nobody serious was arguing against, was a sad cop-out and an attempt to back-door it. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. In this thing, he should have just stayed out of the way.
 
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.

No, I sure as hell don't get it, pondscum! Why the fuck don't you keep explaining it to me, and you and your president just keep on lecturing me about the constitution and religious freedom while you're at it, because I don't think most of America has gotten a belly full of it yet, and I richly want them to before November!

I have said absolutely NOTHING to indicate I don't believe Muslims are Americans, or that I don't believe people of the Muslim faith have a right to worship their religion in America.... not one fucking word from me to infer that, indicate that, hint or suggest that! Yet, that is what your pathetic low-life ass wants to hear, so you can call me an intolerant bigot.

If you are so fucking brain-dead clueless as to not understand the sensitivities of this issue, and the FACT that it was radical elements of THIS religion, which caused the death of 3,000 fellow Americans on 9/11, and if you are so profoundly ignorant of history, as to not comprehend that it's a TRADITION of Islam to build TROPHIES OF CONQUEST at the SITE of the VICTORY, then you are either completely retarded, ignorant, and stupid, or you have not one ounce of human decency in your pathetic body.

Kind of like an incident involving a Black Professor and a White Cop.
 
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.

If he had said that he'd be an ignorant prick. Muslim's lost loved ones in those buidlings.

Yes, I am sure out of 3,000 people, there were a few Muslims in there too! And let's not forget those poor Muslim hijackers who died a horrible fiery death at Ground Zero.... you pathetic moron!

What the fuck is the matter with you people? Why is it, Christians can't even have a damn Christmas parade, without you whining about the "insensitivity" to others, but you'll practically adopt Islam to be in opposition to the right?

You have ALL become unhinged, unreasonable, incomprehensible fuckwads! You have NO principle that you won't abandon to side against the right, including absolutely forsaking your own goddamn country! And you have the unmitigated gall to parade around with the Constitution you routinely use as toilet paper, LECTURING US about the founding principles and what they mean! It's become a total goddamn JOKE!

What a weak strawman. Of course, I was not referring to the hijackers.

Who said you can't have a parade?

Fuck Islam! They are nothing but another group of fools.

I have not abandoned the principle of religious freedom or freedom of conscience.

You do nothing but attack the Constitution claiming that the majority has the right to take away our liberties for whatever whim they choose. You were a fucking a primary cheerleader of the Bush admin while they said only terrorists/criminals could be bothered by the erosion of our rights to be free from illegal search and seizure. You vocally supported McCain who by your own admission was an opponent of free speech.

You have no principles. You have no love of country. You even deny your religion because you think it might win you some debate points. Your one and only master is the GOP and the politics of hate.
 
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.

you dont' think that WE have a vested interest in the country/company?

Typical elitist masonic filth, damo. Good for you.
 
my analogy is quite sound. it's not my fault that the 'progressives' have created an illegal group of directors.

Do you really believe this? Poor people should be disenfranchised?

they may actually have a better insight into what's wrong with the country than internationalist fascists in the throes of a greed frenzy, especially since many are having hard times simply due to differences in costs of living between countries.
 
SO if there is nothing anyone wants the government to do about this Community Center, and noone in the government is proposing we do anything about it, why is it an issue for the November election?

WHo has ever said a Christmas parade is insensitive? You are full of lies lately!
 
"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.

Yep. Especially since Muslims were killed in the attack, just like Christians, Jews, atheists, agnostics, etc.

Aww. Poor muslims. you're more concerned about their feelings than you are the feelings of tea party patriots. How do you think patriots feel when you lefties talk about them? You don't care about that. It's against you're anti-american globalist brainwashing to empathize with an actual patriot.
