Mosque 2 blocks from Ground Zero

[BanginJimmy]

Until your last post, I have never heard a single major opponent say their feelings were based in mistrust of all muslims. Now that you have made it clear, I understand why you feel the way you do (even though I don't feel the same way).

Dont get the facts twisted. My mistrust of muslims has little to do with my opposition to this mosque. One of my major problems is that their publicly professed reasonings doesnt line up with the facts. They say they want to build it to show solidarity and to help bridge the divides between muslim and American cultures, but their actions go completely against that. If you want to bring about a measure of good will you dont tell someone "this is hows its going to be and I dont care if you like it or not". Do they have that right? Damn right they do and as mush as I am against the mosque, I am FAR more against that kind of abuse by the govt.

Also, please point out in any post I ever made where I called you a racist, bigot, or any other deragotory term.

Maybe I am confusing you with someone else, but the fact still remains that anytime someone speaks up against Obama, against this mosque, in favor of the AZ immigration law, they are called a racist. Hell, these days the only thing you have to do to qualify as a racist to the lefties is be conservative.

Thanks for your honesty. I wish we got that much from our elected officials.

I believe you will find strong bi-partisan support from anyone outside the beltway or state establishments in this area.
