Obama's Islamic-Center Stance: Why the GOP Shouldn't Run Against It (now they're begging)
Time Magazine ^ | 8/16/10 | Mark Halprin

Posted on 08/16/2010 5:53:14 AM PDT by teddyballgame

Yes, Republicans, you can take advantage of this heated circumstance, backed by the families of the 9/11 victims, in their most emotional return to the public stage since 2001.

But please don't do it. There are a handful of good reasons to oppose allowing the Islamic center to be built so close to Ground Zero, particularly the family opposition and the availability of other, less raw locations. But what is happening now — the misinformation about the center and its supporters; the open declarations of war on Islam on talk radio, the Internet and other forums; the painful divisions propelled by all the overheated rhetoric — is not worth whatever political gain your party might achieve.

The author is actually Mark Halperin. That’s significant because his father, Morton, works for George Soros. I suggest keeping that in mind whenever reading anything by Halperin.

It’s time for TIME to give it up. It is a complete joke of a publication and anyone associated with it should crawl into a black hole to seek some dignity.

“He states there is misinformation but I didn’t see him state what that misinformation is.”

Yes, another liberal liar. He leaves the impressions that any information one has heard about the mosque is mis-information.

Here’s the deal, Islam builds mosques to mark their victories. Not mis-information, historical fact. Any Muslim knows this, if I know it. This mosque will stand as a victory marker at the WTC. Therefore it cannot be there. If all they wanted to do was build the mosque they would have backed off of the site immediately when they saw the opposition to it. But they want the victory marker.

Maybe the author of this piece and Michael Bloomberg and Pres. Obama are too blinded by their sophistication to see this, but ordinary people, on both sides of the issue, can see it plain as day.

The GOP SHOULD AND WILL because Obama has taken the side of HAMAS AGAINST America over building the 9/11 VICTORY Mosque.

Obama can OBFUSCATE, "backpedal", LIE, and "Walkback" all he wants but it is too late, Obama is nothing short of satanic. On Friday he told the Muslims he had gathered in the PEOPLES house, along with the entire world which side he is really on in the war on terror = America or Islam. He made his choice and sided with Islam over America and told us all that he approves of the MUSLIM 9/11 VICTORY Mosque, that He DOES NOT OBJECT TO IT and that he wants it built at the site of Islam's victory over America. HIS ADMINISTRATION, HIS STATE DEPARTMENT is spending OUR TAXPAYER MONEY TO SEND THE IMAM WHO IS HELL-BENT ON BUILDING THIS MONSTROSITY ALL OVER THE

I S L A M I C WORLD

TO RAISE MONEY TO BUILD THE 9/11 VICTORY 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 this; with his statement on Friday Obama COMPLETELY and PERMANENTLY BROKE FAITH WITH THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA! 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 and obfuscate and try to "backpedal" all he wants, but it is too late, he cannot undo what he has done;

Obama didn't just "spit it the eye of America;" he pulled down his pants in front of the entire country and world, squatted on the hallowed 9/11/01 Ground Zero site and took a huge PUBLIC DUMP UPON GROUND ZERO AND UPON 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.

If we were ever stupid enough to believe liberals then where are they on the State Department funding a muslime beg-a-thon in their 57 islamic countries?

Hmm 57, that sounds familiar.

Back to my point, the liberals tell us that there is this separation of Church and State in the constitution (even though there is not) so how can they support using our tax dollars to fund the beg-a-thon to fund a weapons factory.

not worth whatever political gain your party might achieve.

Yet Time seems to have no problems with the most outrageous charges against Republicans as long as Democrats gain politically. For example, I await Time's condemnation of the annual "Republicans want to bring back slavery" ads on black radio stations.

And I would add that sharia law, fully implemented, means legalized slavery, so in fact supporters of the mosque are actually working to bring back slavery.

So it’s come to this... begging Republicans not to make hay of the al-Osama Mosque and Victory Center at Ground Zero. The libs know they’re in a tight box on this issue.

Ain’t Republicans, Stupid!

Unfortunately too many elected republicans and others in power positions ARE stupid and spineless. The democrat party has come to expect republicans to roll over and be kicked by the donks. If you vote for any republican other than one who will fight viciously to maintain the Constitution then you are voting for more of the same.

FUBO
