I’ve been told, by the President of the United States, by the Mayor of New York, by the Governor of New Jersey, that protesting the erection of a mosque less than half a block from “Ground Zero” is not the American way.

Excellent piece.

This freshman senator turned president (and self appointed moral leader) just couldn’t resist another “teachable moment”. No one can mandate morality or tolerance... or tell the country how we should “feel.”

What did the Marines do when they won through to the top of Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima?

They raised a familiar, well recognized symbol which showed their victory!
The Jihadists are no different. They wish to show their victory in a familiar, well recognized manner.

Justice, ethics, values... how quaint and old fashioned!
