But you advocate the gov. getting involved in private property matters then?
“But you advocate the gov. getting involved in private property matters then?”
At the local level I think that would be fine. Obviously the feds have WAY too much power and, no, they shouldn’t be involved in dictating how private property is used. I do have a conflict there though, and that’s because I like the idea of natural preservation - I like the concept of preservation and national parks, but maybe that could be handled differently.
Anyway, remember the Kilo (sp) decision on eminent domain a few years ago? That was a terrible thing and of course I won’t support that type of personal property theft. However, the mosque is different. I don’t think anyone is suggesting the feds should deny the mosque builders the right to build their mosque, but, at the same time, they shouldn’t be anabling them.
There is a role for the feds to play, and that’s in defense. If this mosque is supported by terrorists that makes it a security risk, and that’s a completely different story. I’m not saying that’s the case, because of course no one knows, but here is where the government should NOT remain neutral.
