Obama's Mosque Remarks Reverberate

President Barack Obama's weekend remarks supporting the right to build a mosque near Ground Zero reverberated across the country, nationalizing a debate over the New York City project.

"It will galvanize their desire for resistance to the mosque," he said. "It confirms in their minds the idea that Mr. Obama seems to be more accommodating to the Islamic world than he is for the Christian representation in America."

***The union workers WILL build the Ground Zero victory mosque if they are told to by their bosses. ****

But will the UNIONIZED fire departments put out the blaze if it “accidentally” catches on fire after they lost so many men on 9-11?

They have the right to "freedom of religious expression" BUT, IT IS MORALLY, FRIGGIN' WRONG!!!

That's like letting the guy who raped your wife or molested your child, move next door. There are laws that keep sexual predators at bay. But, if you kill 3,000 Americans via terroristic attack, build a shrine at the site of your crime.

Just for the sake of pragmatism, why is Obama even getting involved in this issue? He has nothing to gain and everything to lose. The messiah should learn to keep his mouth shut.

If the laborers union is LIUNA, and it would get the contract to build the mosque, then Hillary’s got a problem. That would mean that she lost the support of LIUNA (Laborers International Union of No. America).

If LIUNA turns down a chance to bid/build it, then it will be because Hillary Clinton told them not to. She and Bill were mobbed up with LIUNA/Mafia money in the 1990’s (American Spectator, Apirl 1997, Byron York “ With Friends Like These”).

Hillary cannot afford to loose the 9/11 remembrance voters, esp. among New York Jews (Cantor-Fitzgerald who lost hundreds of employees) and Christians who would view the mosque as an Islamic victory symbol at the sight of their greatest act of terrorism.

Obama is losing supporters because he is coming out as more pro-Moslem than pro-American, and his choice of friends and words is showing this every day.

Go Obama. You are are our best weapon against the Democrats and yourself.

This erases any doubt as to whether this guy is a complete moron.

He manages to sidestep everything else, but on this he has toi have an opinion?

The RIGHT answer was that the Mosque should not be built at Ground Zero, period.

That's what a POTUS would say.

This guy is a jive talking foreigner.

He has nothing to gain and everything to lose. ______________________________________________________________ Not necessarily; there are a whole hell of a lot of Muslim votes in America. Add those to 90% of the Black vote and 100% of the Liberal vote, and you've got a chunk of voters in your pocket. Am I right or wrong?

Also, recall that the Catholic Church pulled out of the adoption business in Massachusetts. I think the Church should have fought it in the courts on Constitutional grounds, but these liberals seem to want freedom of religion for Islam, but the Catholic Church? not so much.

Neither the FDNY site, their union site (UFANYC), the NYPD site, nor their union site (NYCPBA) has ANYTHING against the mosque. In fact, the NYPD site has a statement about extra police protection around mosques during Ramadan because of hate crimes.

I think some are waking up to the big lie.

I'm glad he's enough of a megalomaniac to open his mouth and tell us his stance. He's shedding supporters by the millions by telling the truth about his convictions.

Very shrewd timing of her remarks if that is the case. As in, he couldn’t resist grandstanding at this scheduled PR event, and she made the critical remarks just prior, to prod him into making some over-the-top remarks in support of it, which he did. Maybe I’m assuming too much, but it’s nice to at least hope that there are competent leaders on our side.

[DUMBGRUNT]

Muslim votes in America. Add those to 90% of the Black vote and 100% of the Liberal vote,

All three groups overlap. Net gain, not so much.

[RoseofTexas]

I agree...this monstrosity WILL get built and there is nothing you and I can do to stop it ,short of bombing it! All those you have stated will get in line and build the hellish piece of garbage turd! I'll telling you one thing though...EVERYONE is talking about it and they are pissed with the Joker! Hopefully his numbers will tank lower this coming week!

How does a “moron” go from the city council chambers to the governor’s mansion and then to the nomination for vice president?

[Steven Tyler]

If only those angry bitter Muslims would not cling to their religion

[vmpolesov]

I can’t read her mind. My opinion is the timing of her remarks was shrewd, but I’m not infallible and can misread things. If I’m reading it correctly, she set a trap and he amateurishly bumbled right into it. Also, apart from her, nobody on our side seems to be showing any common sense.

Americans...smart Americans....are realizing just how much HUSSEIN hates this nation.
