Since no one has even thought of challenging any constitutional right in this matter your alarm about it indicates you have sucked down Obama's red herring whole. Please educate yourself on the varieties of leftwing mendacity before embarrassing yourself again.

Newt is trolling for campaign funds.

Don't be silly. The religious freedom clause is in the very same amendment as the free speech clause.

You just want people to roll over and shut about this, but respect for the Constitution includes you standing still while we get up in your face and scream at you about how sinful you are ~ whether you like it or not.

Joe Scab--Whatta guy! Just ask Lori Klausutis (Oh, sorry, she's dead.)

The strange death of Lori Klausutis received only a few short stories in the Northern Florida press; and the Washington Post printed only 44 words in a Nation-in-brief report dealing with the covered up and mysterious death of a female staffer in a Republican congressman's district office--a story that shocked us after hearing about it from federal agents because the revelation was kept from the public. The 44 words released were: "FORT WALTON BEACH, FL--Lori Klausutis, a 28-year-old office worker for Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-FL), was found dead in the congressman's district office. Police said preliminary findings from the medical examiner's office showed no foul play or any outward indication of suicide." Curiously, Klausutis was reportedly active in Florida's Bush v. Gore 2000 election recount activity--raising questions about what she knew; and on Friday, July 20th, 2001, her body was found slumped next to a desk on the floor of Scarborough's Fort Walton Beach office where Lori served as a constituent services coordinator since May, 1999.

Klausutis was found around 8:00 a.m. on Friday morning by a couple arriving for an appointment, and she had been dead for some time as the police cordoned off the office for an investigation; but they later announced that there was no reason to suspect foul play, nor were there signs of suicide--but national news outlets commenced a total television blackout.

Scarborough had recently resigned from Congress--prematurely and unexpectedly--on the heels of reported rumors about his marital fidelity and shortly after his marriage ended in divorce.

Welcoming? There are 8 million muslims in US and most are citizen. Constitution is not your exclusive property. Read it sometime.

There is a mosque that is MUCH CLOSER to Ground Zero, on 20th street that is open for business now. The new proposed one is much farther out than that one.

Why is there no effort to close that one?

If LENGTH of the distance from Ground-Zero is the issue, don’t you want to start with the one that is closer first?

This is nothing but ELITES attempt to rile people and get them to THROW AWAY there Bill-of-Rights. One document that protects us from them, they are happy to have people trample upon it.

Perhaps when likes of Janet Reno/Bill Clinton return to power, and declare someone else domestic terrorist for inciting disorderly conduct (Powers that now they will courtesy of the Exuctive Orders and Patriot Act), and then sent takes to put them down, you might cry for when you still had BILL OF RIGHTS.

Hi-ho, Newbie!
You can now count yourself among that .0005 % of FReepers who think Joe Scarborough is just a fine and dandy Conservative Patriot.

Agreed, thousands of years of human history finally culminated in the Constitution of the United States. It bothers me to see politicians playing with the First Amendment. The religious freedoms are a thing that binds the Maccabees to the Pilgrims and excludes the very people who attacked the World Trade Center.

We have a lot of very shallow politicians.

Joe Scarborough is a Patriot. Standing up for your Constitution is everyone’s duty. Getting ahead of angry mob and spreading fear and adding fuel to the fire require no courage or skill. Of all the things, people have lost their minds to the point that now we are ready to throw away Bill of Rights? Wake up people. Newt has chosen to serve Elites. He won’t come and bail you out of Fema-Camp someday, if you go along and give up Bill of Rights.

Oh, please. Spare us the First Amendment lecture. No one is stopping Muslims from worshiping or building a mosque, but we are opposed to having it built so close to what, for most Americans, is considered hallowed ground. Opponents have made it crystal clear that the Muslims have a legal right to build their mosque but are engaging in a provocative act by placing it so close to 'Ground Zero'.

Joe Scarborough is a shill for the left masquerading as a 'conservative' on the most liberal network on television. I won't question his innate patriotism but I will question his judgment and his integrity. That you support his misguided attack on perfectly reasonable comments by Newt Gingrich taken out of context in a very liberal, anti-conservative newspaper, the New York Times, makes me wonder why you are even here on FR. Trolling, perhaps?

Watched part of his show this morning but had to turn it off. He and the guests continually harped on the Constitutional reasoning without bringing up the “Wisdom” of Obama’s statements. Seems like the left (including Scarborough) had their talking points and refused to actually attempt to understand the issue. Not the first time for this show - after all, it is NBC.

They may continue to call Joe a conservative (actually used to like him) but he has succumbed to the indoctrination that being in the presence of only one side of the debate (far left) will warp any individual. He is a lost cause...

If the distance is issue, there is one Mosque much closer to WTC on 20th street.

Why not try and get that one closed first?

Lori said “Please”, too, just before the hitman cracked her skull open.

I believe most Americans share Gingrich’s views on this subject.

Islam should not be welcome here.

Our founders never even had it on the table that such a monstrosity would ever invade a Judeo-Christian nation they inhabited though some learned later how that culture works.

Not one Islamic nation in the world is what we would call free by western standards...the West is follish to keep allowing them in here.

and before you try the Turkey canard they are peddling away from Attaturk secularism as fast as they can.

you sound like Paul Craig Roberts

If you look at what Newt actually said, he was spot on.

Do suppose we could build a KKK memorial right next to Martin Luther Kings grave and everybody would be okay with it? We could even make it a tribute to the late Democrat, Robert "Sheets" Byrd.

Why don't the muzzie's build there crap back in their own country.

Newt won’t be topped.

Sort of like George Wallace. He gained national notice as ... “I was out-nixxered, and I will never be out-nixxered again.” .
