President Obama Supports 'Ground Zero Mosque
Anyone surprised? President Obama Supports 'Ground Zero Mosque David Knowles AOL News Surge Desk (Aug. 13) -- President Barack Obama gave a thumbs up today to a proposed Islamic community center and mosque that is slated to be built two blocks from the site of the 9/11 attacks in lower Manhattan. "Let me be clear," Obama said at a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, "as a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," Obama said, according to CNN. Mark Lennihan, AP The proposed construction of the Cordoba House Islamic Center has divided U.S. politicians and the public. Obama's remarks follow a line of argument put forth by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who made an impassioned defense of the construction of the Islamic center in a speech delivered on Governor's Island. Politicians such as Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich have opposed the mosque, citing their view that the former site of the World Trade center is "hallowed ground" and that building Cordoba House in such close proximity is an affront to the memory of those who died in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "This is America," Obama declared today, "and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are. The writ of our founders must endure." New York's Landmarks Preservation Commission has cleared the way for construction of the Islamic center, which will occupy the site that once housed a Burlington Coat Factory outlet store, but the state's governor, David Paterson, has suggested that other land might be made available to the developers of the project. |

I joined the voting poll you posted on fb about this. I messaged on it, "Too bad there wasnt a slot to check for FUCK NO!!!!"

There is a big difference between having the right to do something and doing the right thing.
josh.s.
thats like if we put a momerial for our soldiers in hershima (japan i cant spell). if you understand what im trying to say
Shug22
Yes sir I do undertand. They have the right to build the mosque. Just not there. Don't stick anything in an American's face or you got trouble.
josh.s.
sooner or later government will fall and there will be one hell of a civil war. and ill be with the red-necks.
ecaman
is a disgrace to the country. This is sickening.
Larry Wagner
100% right ecaman. If Obama Lama Ding Dong wants to be a Musslem so bad then he should take his whole bunch & go to Baghdad & do it right. This ass is the biggest domestic terrorist this country has ever seen. He needs impeached then locked up for crimes against America & her people.

will bear the name " Victory Mosque".... How fucked up is that??? These idol worshipping, goat herdding, scum sucking, creightons need to ALL go back to their so called holy land and take "O" and his family with them... I hope someone in the Congress of this great nation has enough balls to use the constitution the way our forefathers intended and finds this piece of shit unfit to hold the office of President and starts the impeachment process.
josh.s.
this is the #1 reason i choose not to vote. it doesnt matter who is in office they are going to screw the people.congress runs 90% of the country anyways.and cliton was probaly the real preident we have had in 30 years. so what he got a blow job. does it really matter that much? yes there was ups and down but there was no major conflicts and the economy was better because we where not sending billions to other countries.do i agree with bush sending our troops over seas yes. but they should of been back long ago. they got saddam. put in another president. trained there soldiers, and broke up alot of the terrorist cells. will they they re-organize as soon as we leave yes.but i do not belive in getting into a war that has been going on for thousands of years. and will continue til the end of the world. as for ben ladin its been 9 years and havent been close no one knows where he is. my point of veiw is genicide carpet bomb the country and be done with it. cause at this point it would be cheapper and more cause efective then to keep going like we are. dont get me wrong im not crazy or anything but enough is enough. as for the mosque i hope the people come together and stop them from making it.
wasnt the karan written by a oppiume addict?

I used to feel that way, but then I thought about it and realized that if I didnt voice I was not letting my voice be heard, even if your canidate dont win at least the government heard you voice. Every voice counts.

not voting only pulls your tongue out of your mouth,casts dispersions on your character,makes you fat,lazy,and shifty eyed.People that don't vote suffer from oral diarrhea and loose stools,they don't live long,most often they have open wounds that never heal,It's bad,it's preventable,go vote.

to ensure socialism takes permanent root in this country. It DOES matter who is in power. Get out and vote, end-of-story.
Vaquero
Is why this country is in the shape it is in.
Get educated on the issues and vote your beliefs.
HampsterW
votes don't matter but that was before I turned 18, since then I have voted religiously. The way I see it is that if you want to bitch, you have to vote (like others have stated).
badgirlj36

samD
Is our site up on a DNC site as a spam attack?
Larry Wagner
For techno idiots like me, What does that mean Sam???
samD
putting us up on a web site? And them telling to join and harrass us.
Shug22
Hi Sam, I am a new guy that has enjoyed this site alot. I can see by the comments that there are quite a few regular guy characters here and I have enjoyed the banter. I have also seen a few clowns that need to go do something else. Ace had it right in her idea about sitting back and observing what the site is all about and then adding whatever comments that you would think is helpful - or funny. I doubt there is a spam thing or a web site directing people here but we will be able to tell by their comments. So, for what it is worth, I just am trying to be helpful and to let everyone know that I am a regular guy who likes guns, God and country!
samD
And Welcome Aboard.
Shug22
Thank you for the welcome. I have seen some comments by some shady looking characters by the name of Catfish, Vaquero and ebear. You might want to check them out and see where they are coming from. I mean Llamas? (I am just kidding around guys - just wanted you to know that I have enjoyed your fun!).
Schuyler
by Google. That's how those guys followed fako sniper here. I wouldn't be surprised if we're in the cross-hairs somewhere. That's how they operate. Goon squads fro SEIU.
