Christie is more right than Levin. The Muslims have a right to build a mosque ANYWHERE as long as there is a willing seller and no contracts are violated. Those who want to destroy their property rights are only creating a precedent for big brother to do the same to them.
Get a clue, you. Nobody is arguing against property rights or religious freedom, or asking the government to intervene.
It’s all about shaming the Muslim Imam and his pals into backing out on their own out of decency and respect to Americans.
What a novel thought, huh?
The Muslims have a right to build a mosque ANYWHERE as long as there is a willing seller and no contracts are violated
Kaaba, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Damascus.....just a few examples of Muslim mosques over religious sites of others after conquest.
I suppose you could call that a contract.........I'm certain the libertarian cowards of their day agreed quite heartily.
“Christie is more right than Levin. The Muslims have a right to build a mosque ANYWHERE as long as there is a willing seller and no contracts are violated.”
Not if this is a national historical site, which Congress could make it. Or if the local zoning boeard decides not to permit it.
You probably think it is OK to put up the Rising Sun within a block of the graveyard of the Arizona in Pearl Harbor. How about flying the swastika over Arlington? Maybe right next to the graves of the men murdered at Malmedy? As long as teh flags are on private property. Let’s not tinker with property rights. /sarc/
That is where you Libertarians lose me. Patriotism is not your strong suit.
“Those who want to destroy their property rights are only creating a precedent for big brother to do the same to them.”
It isn’t doing anything of the kind. They can build the mosque in a hundred thousand other locations. Is someone losing a property right if they can’t build a porn theatre across from St. Patrick’s cathedral in NY? Yes. Does it threatened everyone’s property rights? Only in the blinkered imagination of the libertarian theoretician.
Finally, some sense.
