NY Democrats begin to emerge as supporting Ground Zero mosque
Washington Times - Watercooler ^ | 8/9/10 | Kerry Picket

The controversial New York City proposed mosque, known as Cordoba House, made it past a large hurdle last week, when a city panel denied the site landmark status making the Ground Zero mosque one step closer to becoming a reality.

Ground Zero is in the district represented by Congressman Jerry Nadler, New York Democrat, who told me in late July, “My feeling is we have freedom of religion in this country. Its not the business of government (not state, not local, not federal government) to tell anybody where they may build a church, or a mosque, or a synagogue, because we don’t like them or anyone else,” he said. “If it’s within the zoning law, government should have nothing to say.”

I remember Nadler: he was the guy that stole Austin Powers mojo, right?

Aptly named too.

The ‘RATS have been supporting the Islamofascists all along. Don’t know why they would stop now. It appears as though the ‘RATS are working to make Al qaeda, the Taliban and Hamas tentacles of the DNC.

There is not a cop or a fireman in the entire city of NY who should ever vote for this SOB again.

But they will, he crosses their palms often, besides, they're union wonks.

NY Rats may need the Mosque for sanctuary in the future.

Of course this feeling would disappear if he was asked about whether the Federal Government has the right to intervene with Arizona as the try to enforce an existing law!

No, my friend it will bite those conservatives in the ass who, in the heat of hysteria, selectively cast aside the great American values of the first amendment and property rights. In the future, they will have no principle to stand on when some leftist denies them property and religious freedom.

Exactly. And all the “useful idiots” like Nadler are going to be among the first the Cult of Death take out. They’ll slit Nadler’s fat throat in a NY Second.

I am almost of a mind to let the muzzies impose Sharia on the entire US. Meanwhile gun-toting conservatives bide our time in the background. After the great purge of the useful idiots, conservatives can step out of the background, and red-dawn their a$$es. Go Wolverines!

...one day.

Everyday, as I imagine it. Won't it become a "mecca"? Who will go there? Won't it kill lower Manhattan? Maybe not.

I don't get it. I thought 9/11 was galvanizing. It galvanized me, I know that. So let's suppose a bunch of, I don't know, NRA fanatics, hijack a plane and smash it into the Eiffel Tower, then a few years later, some more moderate NRA fanatics decide to set up an NRA shooting range on the site of the former Eiffel Tower, and some bigoted Frenchies oppose it.

I guess that's a stupid analogy. But the reality we're faced with is a stupid analogy to itself. I just can't comprehend it.
