So what should one make of Obama's position on the proposal to build a Muslim Mosque in the vicinity of the 9/11 tragedy?
Is he an insensitive fool who harbors allegiance to the Islamic faith? or a rare politician who takes the high road and stands by what is right as opposed to politically expedient?
It is my contention that if one steps back and views this objectively and unemotionally, it is clear that his position is the correct one.
This country was founded upon the principals of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Period. No exceptions.
For those who compare this to allowing organizations like the Nazi Party to build shrines to Hitler, I say congratulations. You are now official members of the right wing lunatic fringe.
You are far more of a threat to this nation than a Muslim Mosque!

You are completely right, George. This is a democratic country whose firmest foundation was based on the freedom to believe (or not) in whatever one wants to believe. That is true acceptance. For many of us, it's hard to believe this wave a lunatic fringe that's going on here right now. Like that attack on the innocent cab driver that occurred yesterday in NYC. What I have to think is that many are suffering from so PTSD related to 9/11, but many of us are also suffering from the total inability to see another person's rights or their point of view. That problem runs very deep in this country, and boy how the media likes to tempt and tangle with that evil! If they're so patriotic, they should be bringing us together and strengthening us, not dividing and conquering one side!
