Obviously, I need more coffee this AM.
How about the New Jersey governor Chris Christie?
P.S. (Hit “return” too quickly) If this man holds up to his campaign promises, I hope he gets in. There should be NO mosque built on or near the grounds of the Twin Towers. He has it exactly right about it being a slap in the face to the ones who died there, their families, the men and women who have died in the resulting wars, and to all of America.
The mosque would be a scalp on a lodge pole for Muslims.
To hell with that.
This whole idea just makes me sick.
For a mosque to be built there is the same to me as planting the flag of your country on land taken after a battle. It’s a sign of victory.
I’ll never forget watching on live television those poor, innocent souls jumping out of the windows to their deaths below to avoid a more hellish death from the flames.
A mosque built there would be a monument of tribute to the same bastards who killed thousands of people just going to work to try and make a living for themselves.
The traitor politicians who support this need to be voted out and be handed shovels to dig for a monument to the victims, and the brave cops, firefighters, first aid people, and the volunteers who gave their lives to save others.
Americans, on the other hand, are myopically unaware of the program of death and destruction that Muslims have in store for us!
What they really want are the residents of the new Freedom Tower to hear the Muslim “call to prayer” 5X per day. So much for freedom.
Those who do not understand this are either extremely stupid or craven cowards. Some groups - politicians - can be both at the same time. Ask yourself "Why are churches, cathedrals and synagogues NOT ALLOWED in Saudi Arabia" (and it is not because our beloved allie, the Saudis might be offended).
“The mosque would be a scalp on a lodge pole for Muslims.”
There is a name for this, but I can’t remember what it is. The western tribes would TOUCH the enemy, but not necessarily kill him. They thought this was braver than actually killing him.
Someone else pointed out that it is an obvious insult since it is a terrible location for a house of Worship for any religion. No-one lives there or nearby. Who really wants to "commute" to Church? Of course the only intent is symbolic and insulting.
Christie seems to stick mainly to fiscal issues. I haven’t heard him say much about social matters.
I’ve held the opinion (for what its worth) that the Twin Towers should have been rebuilt immediately and made taller by ten stories or so. A kind of in-your-face type approach.
Probably not but I’m sure that Spain would be delighted to send over a gang of theirs since they have been doing the dirty work over there for years—and causing most of the social problems as well.
Should this mosque be built I would expect that it would routinely be defiled. If there were a fire in the mosque I would not expect NY Firefighters to be in any hurry to get there nor to risk their lives to save it.
“”obviously they are aware of our freedom agenda.””
All foreigners up to no good in our country make that their priority. Too bad our own citizens don’t understand that. Those in DC do but they don’t care!
I think the phrase is “counting coup”.
