"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

and George junior and senior kiss Saudi @$$ at the drop of a hat.
after 9/11 both Saudi and Egypt should have been turned to glass for their part in the attack....but the one world RINOs would have none of that......
MUSLIMS BUILD MOSQUES AT THE SITE OF THEIR VICTORIES. They’re LAUGHING at our stupidity.
good thing it wasn’t a building to house boyscouts, or it would have been held up in litigation for 50 years.

But it would be interesting to see what that number is.
Bronx? I can understand.
Brooklyn, also.
Upper West Side? Yes too.
Lower Manhattan? No way in hell.
Although I find it a distasteful thing to do I can’t justify not allowing the mosque to be built.
I also see no good reason not to allow “Bubba’s World of Bacon” to open up next door on one side and “Rainbow Apparel and Appliances” to open up on the other side.....especially after they spend $150 Million or whatever to build the thing.
How about the “Museum of Islamic Atrocities”?
New York has pigeons, right? Lots of them.
I’m sure those poor pigeons outside of this new mosque would appreciate some nice people feeding them lots of tasty bacon bits, which their tiny little stomachs can thus digest, and their intestinal tract then excrete said bacon bits upon the grounds and rooftop of this wonderful expression of ‘tolerance’.
There you go! The whole enchalida! Bingo!
How on Earth can this group claim to want to “heal divisions” in the community, when their very first act is to thumb its nose in the face of stiff opposition???!!!
This alone tells me all I need to know.
Liberals are too dumb to figure it out, are in denial, or are looking forward to another anti-American outpost.
I agree. The government does not have the authority to prevent a private property owner from constructing a building on his own property, simply because the building will be used for a "distasteful" purpose. Particularly when that purpose is (nominally) religious. And particularly when the means used to prevent construction are as cynical as using landmark preservation status to preserve a building that no one cared about until it was going to be transformed into a mosque.
If we are going to be defenders of the Constitution and limited government, we must not allow for government excesses simply because we agree with the end result.
I also see no good reason not to allow “Bubba’s World of Bacon” to open up next door on one side and “Rainbow Apparel and Appliances” to open up on the other side.....especially after they spend $150 Million or whatever to build the thing.
Again, I agree. It's worth noting that there is, in fact, a bar located right next door to the building, which (obviously) serves alcohol, but also serves a variety of pub food, including (I believe) several items that include bacon.
God save The United States.
As Conservatives we must support the Property Rights of those who own the property where the mosque will be built.
