Victory Mosque or Cultural Ctr?

How could a President, who took an oath to uphold the Constitution, come out against the construction of the mosque/cultural center? That would be in direct opposition of the First Amendment. In addition, the building two blocks away from the 9/11 site. These people were not those who perpetrated the attack on the World Trade Center. Do we not understand the possible consequences of bypassing the First Amendment because of a religious preference?

As already stated, there are already over a hundred mosques in New York City servicing 800,000 Muslims. Will one more affect the situation considering that it's not on the site of 9/11.

I already had my say on this subject at:

thanks frank......the religion did not attack the trade centers people did.....the president swore and oath and he is living up to it his statement supports the 1 st ammendment thats what he has to do.....and boozkamans implication of national traitors in itself is sedition.......they have the legal right......now with that said......has anyone given any thought how tryany starts,,,,when you start denying rights to any one group in a society based on any one given thing,the question then becomes who is next? based on what?that leaves everyone in the society funerable....and the society without order....what i hear being advocated is the same crape we used in ww2,and the nazi used inww2 and the japenesse in ww2....didnt we learn anything?....you cannot make the constituion for some americans and not for all.....are we trying to turn america into what south africa was??? i for one wore a uniform for all americans not some, all.....i would say some people need to remember that.......and i lost 2 friends in the trade center,i am a native born new yorker,but more than that i am and american.....and seeing how it is not at ground zero as it has been made out to be, again the facts are twisted to suit....get off the muslim thing and get on the terrorist thing,and i wouldnt care what religion they are. a terrorist is a terrorist we dont need to single out there religion,its funny zealots always seem to have some religious context to ther madness from the crusades to modern days to include segragation in america.....for you see the klu klux clan fits the definition of terrorists i dont see anyone getting to exited about them?? i wonder why?????? what say you zook........

99.9 percent of Muslims are not terrorists but 99.9 percent of terrorists are Muslim. To ignore the current, year after year attack on US citizens by people who are from different countrys, are of different races but are bound by a religion is just plain stupid.

Most Muslims aren't terrorists but vertually all terrorists ARE Muslims. Having said that I completely agree that they have the right to build there. I question their motives in their desire to build there. Especially given the push back they have encountered. My brother citizens motives are questionable and divisive.

Since you were so close to NYC on your road trip I presume that you went up there to see Ground Zero and check out where this Mosque is suppose to be built. Get a birds eye view of the area and maybe even get to meet a couple Muslims and report back to us your experience there. So how was it?

Was it a Muslim who bombed the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City? Refresh my memory please

i will say thIS......if this president had done anything against the constituion the right would have already called for impeachment.......and believe me a lot of us know that........me personally i think that there are a lot of cowards out there who hid in plain sight......when you attack wifes and children........and disrepect the office you are saying a lot.......so dont ask for my repect people like that have none comming they are the same type of people who bombed a church in bermingham AND killed 4 children......and then said they were provoked.......but i know that doesnt count because the people it happened to still dont fully count..........right.........presidents do not govern in a vacum........help from the right was needed to right the country.......that help could possibly have gone a long way......the right would rather you and i stavre,lose our home,and anything else we own than to see this president succed.....i dont call that national allegiance........what do you call it......//?????

Personally, if I was a New Yorker, I would demand to know where the funding of this mosque is coming from, who the leaders of the group who are doing the organizing are, and why they are so adamant about having the mosque so close to the crater where so many died.

But I am not a New Yorker. Something this sensitive needs to go to a vote, not the fiat of a city planning commission, nor should the opinion of anyone living 3000 miles away, barely touched by the attack have any impact in the final decision.

sarah palin is not the president......and i dont hear anyone attacking her minor children.....if they are enlighten me .......because if they are they are wrong.......what im saying about the hold ups is this........when the right presents a bill and then when it comes to the floor they vote against there own bill what do you call that?.......the filerbuster was a tool not the law.......the right uses it all the time.......60 votes has become the standard and because of it you slows the process greatly.....all im saying is.....you cant lock step the votes and not call it obstruction.......everything suggested is not bad.......we the people are the ones paying the price for this........when you can side with big oil against your countryman there is something wrong........when you call your countrymen lazy .....and then continue to advocate outsourcing of jobs through tax breaks......thats criminal.......i like making money, we all do, but at some point national allegiance comes into play,or should......thats what this illegal immergration is all about.......and attempt to depress wages through cheap labor. it has been going on for years.........when you get people on both sides of this debate that have advocated one stance and then flipped as it has become politically expedient.......that should tell us a lot....... last but not least......the president took over when the policies of the previous administration was comming to fruition......those policies to include tax cuts etc created a very toxic financial climate,im not sure the president did the right things.....some good, some im sure bad.......i do know that if he had done nothing......that it would have been worst,lets remember that GW turned a surplus into a double deficiet and counting.......the budget doesnt run for one year like yours and mine it is projected across 5,10,20 yrs.....short term gains are usually at they espense of long term stability.....short term GREED put us in this hole we need to remember giants like enron etc.......have a great day

AH....MUSIC......OUR SAVIOR.....SMILE......i think the congress thought thats what we wanted. i think we should have targeted who we needed to and went after them no matter where they were located........poletics played with our kids lives really ****** me off........and that goes for both sides of the aisle.....i think bush did what he thought we wanted......and we wanted revenge........quickly......i think if we had stopped and thought about it we would have done it different.....you know how i know, a lot of generals and admirals got fired for voicing that scenerio....yes our kids and grans will pay.....but to attempt to act as though only one side of the poletics is at fault is a bold face lie.....they all need to take responsibilty......they need to come to some compromises and put some fixes in place.....we dont pay them to fight......i can see that on tv.

have a good jam........i played last night....music is my sanity also.....see we have a lot in common.......see ya
