Gd, I love this woman! She is not afraid of the jackals, hyenas, and vultures who troll her home, her garbage cans, and her most prized possession, her children. She has spine, character, ethics, integrity, and above all, true grit. If she runs, I'll be right behind her.
Here is Sarah's twitter: (hat tip MZ)
Peaceful New Yorkers, please refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused at Twin Towers site is too raw, too real.
The Islamic supremacist mega mosque is a stab in the eye of every American. The question is, why there? Why did the terror-tied Imam Rauf spend five million dollars to build a triumphal mosque 600 feet from the site of the largest attack, Islamic attack in American history? There have been 15,644 Islamic attacks since 911 across the world. Each one had the imprimatur of an Islamic cleric. What is being done to expunge the koran of the violent texts that inspire jihad?
The response to the overwhelming pain this mosque has caused has been ad hominem attacks. I find the Cordoba Initiative's callousness towards the grief they are causing radically intolerant.
SIOA is holding a another peaceful protest against the Ground Zero mega mosque on September 11th. Be there. It's now or never.
And let me add that I am proud to be a National Advisory Board member of Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin.
Another Palin tweet. Go Sarah!

Peace-seeking Muslims, please understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Please reject it in interest of healing.

Yes, I understand that some in this country do not believe in Property Rights and that lack of understanding of Property Rights has lead to the horrific Kelo Decision as well federal confiscatory tax policies.
However, I will stand with the Constitution and our Founding Fathers who understood the Right to Property.
“The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God ... anarchy and tyranny commence. PROPERTY MUST BE SECURED OR LIBERTY CANNOT EXIST”
John Adams
“So you think I should be able to burn a cross on my front lawn; or not even have a front lawn?”
As long as you own the lawn and you own the cross, you are free to set it aflame.
However, if someone decides to burn a cross in my front lawn they will be going to jail or to the morgue.
“The worlds largest and most dangerous terrorist organization has no property rights.”
Could you please point me to the place in the Constitution that states that certain religions do not have Property Rights?
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
There are limits. For example, in WWII, a private property owner probably would have had a hard time building a Nazi recruitment and victory celebration center in the heart of NYC. This is a different war, but the exact same thing.
Your “conservatism” is the type of myopic view that legal jihadis exploit to destroy an enemy culture. Thanks, but no thanks...
The Constitution is not a suicide pact. Too bad you aren’t seeing that...
“Your conservatism is the type of myopic view that legal jihadis exploit to destroy an enemy culture. Thanks, but no thanks...”
The Constitution is clear on Property Rights and it is also clear that every citizen has a right to the property that they own.
But don’t blame me as I was not one of the framers of the Constitution.
Still spouting the amnesty lie abot Palin?
LOL, Hooooowlin at the moon.
You’re going to be miserable if she gets elected President.
“No, as a Conservative, I understand that in this Country, Property Rights are sacrosanct and each of us, no matter or race, ethnicity, gender of faith are have the right to the property that we own.”
Hopefully you understand conservatism better than you understand property law.
Local ordinances and zoning boards have the power to control the building process. As a big supporter of the Constitution Im sure you agree with Palin’s right to attempt to direct that political process with her rights to free speech.
“Property Rights are sacrosanct”
Show me where property right are described as sancrosanct in the Constitution?
Then write an essay on property rights and the political process. This would be a good way for you to actually learn something about property rights also being shifted by the political process...see eminent domain, zoning ordinances, etc.
“As long as you own the lawn and you own the cross, you are free to set it aflame.”
Umm no. You have no idea what you are talking about. If you live in a city, town, township, village, or some other form of municipal government...it is more than likely that you lived under local fire and safety ordinances that would make it very illegal to do this...even on your own property.
“The 14th Amendment states that citizens cannot be deprived of property and that being the case, I don’t see how a government can deny the owners of the property in questions the right to do what they wish with said property.”
Really, here is an example of but one restriction actually placed on owners of property...there are about 14 more in this example.
“Section 11. No junk vehicle, house trailer, or commercial vehicles, such as, but not limited to, moving vans, trucks, tractors, trailers, wreckers, hearses, compressors, concrete mixers or buses, shall be kept on any Lot. No storage of boats, boating equipment, travel trailers camping equipment, or recreational vehicles shall be visible from the street. The location and design of enclosures for boating, camping, traveling (other than automobiles) and related equipment shall be approved by the Architectural Control Committee as required under Paragraph 9 herein. No metal garage shall be erected on any Lot. “
“Really, here is an example of but one restriction actually placed on owners of property...there are about 14 more in this example.”
If one were to read the entire 14th Amendment, the would find that the laws restrictions etc must be applied fairly under the Equal Protection Clause.
Therefore, governments cannot restrict one property owner from building what they want on their property and permit another property owner within the same jurisdiction to build a structure of the same class on their property.
That would all depend on the jurisdiction and their rules and regulations regarding burning of materials on one’s property.
And while I can show you jurisdictions where one could burn a cross on their own land, you could not show me a jurisdiction where one, without the consent of the land owner, could burn a cross on property that they do not own.
“Show me where property right are described as sacrosanct in the Constitution?”
“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
sacrosanct
adjective
1. extremely sacred or inviolable: a sacrosanct chamber in the temple.
2. not to be entered or trespassed upon: She considered her home office sacrosanct.
3. above or beyond criticism, change, or interference: a manuscript deemed sacrosanct.
Every Section and every amendment in the Constitution is sacrosanct.
So I guess you don't believe in any community standards, huh?
ML/NJ
LLS
No, but you and her flunkies are still running cover for her.
Sooo...Palin takes the time to evaluate an issue before she weighs in on it, and you lefties say basically that she's late for the party. But when Obama, not knowing a thing about an issue, immediately goes on record against something (the Gates arrest, for instance), and makes a complete fool of himself... not a peep out of you lefties.
Got it.
How much evaluation was needed on the question of whether or not a mosque should be built next to the former Trade Towers site?
