Obama had a chance to side with the victims or 9/11 or to side with the people who were responsible for it. Or he could have simply kept quiet. He did not chose to side with the victims. This was not a very smart thing to do.
Wrong Mr. Gerson. Alan Keyes got it right: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2570626/posts
Let’s see it come November.
Nothing but DhiminiCRAPs voted out of every race; U.S. House, U.S. Senate, Governors, State Houses, State Senates, any DhiminiCRAP running anywhere for anything goes in the Loser Column after the vote.
In other words, One-Termer believes that MooSlimes have a RIGHT to commit another disgusting 9/11-type atrocity on American soil. What a disgraceful piece of sh*t this subversive scumbag is.
After leaving the White House, Gerson wrote for Newsweek magazine for a time. On May 16, 2007, Gerson began his tenure as a twice-weekly columnist for the Washington Post. His columns appear on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Gerson, a conservative, has repeatedly criticized other conservatives in his column and conservatives have returned the favor. One of Gerson’s first columns was entitled “Letting Fear Rule”, in which he compared skeptics of President Bush’s immigration reform bill to nativist bigots of the 1880s
Conservative opponents of the bill such as Power Line deemed Gerson’s column insulting and an effort to demonize opponents
congressional GOP aide: = freaking out of touch wuss
Hmmmm... I strongly support the right of property owners to use their property as they see fit, provided they don’t violate the rights of others.
On the other hand, the precedent is that local communities have the power to veto certain usages and activities. The generic term is zoning laws. So either zoning laws are valid, and can be applied in this case, or they are not and must be universally and categorically rejected anywhere and everywhere.
To me, the most shocking thing here is the spectacle of a committed socialist-progressive coming out in favor of property rights. The Left should impeach Obama for such a thing!
Has he said anything yet about the Church of St Nicholas? It was destroyed on 9/11 and STILL waiting for approval to be rebuilt.
I S L A M I C WORLD
TO RAISE MONEY TO BUILD THE MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO IN ORDER TO HUMILIATE ALL OF AMERICA!
The words Obama said on Friday in support of this abomination he agreed to and proclaimed before all of those assembled and before the entire world OF HIS OWN FREE WILL. For him to now be saying that he did not mean what he said is ridiculous!. Obama is nothing but a liar following Satan, the Father of lies! He is not to be trusted, he is to be opposed and no matter what the "White House" says, we must all remember that according to taqqiya it is completely "kosher" in Islam for Muslims to LIE in order to deceive those who do not follow Islam = i.e., the "infidels", in order to gain your ultimate ends of conquest and total subjugation. That is exactly what Obama the closet Marxist Muslim is doing = lying in order to deceive America and Americans. The problem is; With his statement on Friday he once and for all told America and the World exactly which side he is on: He supports Islam and the enemies of the United States both at home and abroad. We have him speaking these words, on video. He can lie all he wants to and try to "backpedal" all he wants, but it is too late, he cannot undo what he has done; he has once and for all, pulled down his pants in front of the entire country, squatted on the hallowed 9/11/01 Ground Zero site and taken a huge PUBLIC DUMP UPON GROUND ZERO AND ALL OF AMERICA! After he was done, he got up, pulled up his pants, smiled, his narcissistic smile at the camera and said: "This is where I stand regarding America, Islam and Ground Zero."
Obama is Satan's servant = totally anti-American, anti-Semitic and filled with the spirit of antichrist.
I am not anything close to a “political” expert and I can plainly see that this one revelation could cost him his job.
NOTHING is more meaningful to the direction of this country since the fall of Communism than 9/11, and the Sharia-lover in the W/H just spit in the collective eye of America!
There will be a price for this Muslim to pay for this, not a threat just reality.
I alo noticed that he’s starting to “back-off” those stupid remarks.
Too late Hussein, America now has you MADE - and the Red Press will be helpless to redirect their anger!
This is a wedge issue they cannot win and the GOP candidates need to hit this hard.
“Michael Gerson”
This guy is a true moron. He’s insufferable. This is what “compassionate” conservatism brought us.
I love W, but he made some MAJOR mistakes.
And I’ll NEVER vote for another Bush again. Sorry Jeb.
nobama is a moslem. Why would anyone be surprised at his stance on this?
“.....there was no way he, as President of the United States....”
Not elected....placed.
With the help of idiots, Soros money, fraud, foreign money, bigots and the propaganda churning leftists media.
Mickey Mouse voted for him, but that doesn’t make him MY president.
He’s a squatting muslim.
This could drive his approval numbers a few more points down into to 30s.
In 1996, Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States. The full text is available on the net for anyone to read. It took Google 0.22 seconds to find it for me. Al Qaeda is still at war with the US and anyone who denies it is either very foolish or has serious denial issues.
I highly recommend getting a copy of The Al Qaeda Reader, by Raymond Ibrahim. It is translations of the plain words of Al Qaeda, so people can read their threats for themselves. Al Qaeda’s goals are woven into the broader goals of Islamic thinkers: to force the whole world to convert to Islam, to surrender and pay the jizya tax and assume dhimmihood status, or die resisting.
It should be very clear that life in a free society is contrary to the long-stated goals of Islam. The burden of proof must be on any Muslim who wishes to peacefully live here that he must renounce Islam’s goal of forced conversion, and imposing Sharia. Otherwise, we are turning our own Constitution inside out, so that instead of a framework to protect our lives and way of life, it becomes the very means by which others wage warfare against us.
For this reason, any symbols of an Islamic nature that could be regarded by anyone as being connected to the 9/11 attack must be prohibited, lest they be later used for such a purpose even by Islamic supporters outside the US.
I have a bedrock AMericikan proimciple. it is holy, it is cast into the steel of my guns, and it says : “Meh! Come ond get some Obama!” LOL.
