You know what this thread makes me wanna do? (Besides puke, that is!) It makes me want to go out and buy another half dozen AR-15s to add to my arsenal! Think I'm gonna do that this weekend. The United States Constitution grants all Americans a God-given right to own firearms. And when you try...

I see a lot of lefties in this thread viciously attacking jon_mx for doing nothing but telling the truth. Actually, jon_mx doesn't go far enough, as far as I'm concerned. As several commentators have correctly pointed out, this attempt to celebrate 9/11 in the form of a triumphal mosque is...

Here's the main point: Let's suppose, for the sake of argument, that this Imam is truly what his defenders claim he is: a moderate whose goal is to bring peace and understanding and better relations between Muslims, Christians and Jews. We have reached a point where the proposed building is not...

Who the heck cares what this Imam says about peace and tolerance? He won't renounce Hamas. As far as I'm concerned that makes him either a terrorist lover or a terrorist himself. And I also don't care what some turncoat leftist like Ted Olson has become really thinks about this, or what a few...

Heard on the radio that there is a large group of contractors in the New York area who have pledged not to work on this project and to boycott any company that does. They have been joined by all of the major unions. Let's see them try to build it without plumbers, electricians, hard hats...

I have read the whole thing so far, and it's actually not bad. The debate on immigration pretty much represents my own viewpoint (the conservative side.) And story in Poland is fascinating. I'm not sure how it will all connect in the end, but I'm eager to read more. :confused:

This is a completely biased viewpoint of American history which only demonstrates how far leftist propaganda has reached into our society. The vast majority of native Americans, perhaps 90% of them or more, perished because of disease that the white man brought with him from Europe. Regrettable...

Have you ever attended a city planning commission meeting?

:goodposting: As I pointed out in the other thread, imagine someone opening up a gun store right across from Columbine High School. Sure, they have the right to do it. But would it be in good taste?

I'm no lawyer, but this argument makes no sense to me. In my state you're considered an adult over the age of 18, yet you can't drink until you're 21. Using your logic, wouldn't this violate the equal protection clause?

Many native Americans do believe Columbus Day is an insult to them. But I am not Native American, and I think that Columbus's feat was an amazing one and deserves to be celebrated. I have no idea what it has to do with this issue. It's true I don't believe that the terrible acts we discussed...

A Shinto shrine right next to the Arizona would be inappropriate.

:shrug: I have nothing against gay people and I have nothing against Muslims.But I believe that marriage should be restricted between a man and a woman, and I don't think it's appropriate to build an Islamic Cultural Center directly across from Ground Zero. If that makes me a bigot in your...

Yeah, you keep making this comparison over and over. But it's not close. And it's pisses off black people whenever you do it.

I probably shouldn't have written that; I'm sure the mistake was mine. But the point Prager was making is solid. The mosque shouldn't be built there.
