Obama is having a mega-macaca moment. Were he smart, and he has shown he is not, he would follow Pruden's advice in this column.

I agree that Rosa Parks had a right to sit in the front of the bus, but I'm not going to comment on the wisdom of her refusing to do so... /s

George W. Bush was guilty of pandering to Muslim entitlement, too

True. But I can't imagine W getting it so wrong on this issue.

You have the right to build your mosque wherever you want, subject to local zoning ordinances, but you will get along better with your neighbors if you show them the respect that you demand for yourselves. Building this mosque near ground zero is regarded by most Americans as offensive to the memory of 3,000 Americans killed, however wrongly, in the name of Islam."

Islam does not have the right to build. It is a theocracy and not a religion.

It's basic tenet is the overthrow of our EARTHLY form (not heavenly) of government by violent means (jihad), once a warning has been delivered (dawa). Our Constitution Republic is then to be replaced by their Islamic theocracy.

So, nice idea, Wes, that those wanting to be good neighbors wouldn't be doing annoying things to their neihbors, but you are dead wrong on some "right" for their theocracy to be treated as if an enemy can use our rules about religious freedom as a subterfuge to violate the very Constitution they are attempting to manipulate..

And I don't give a rat's ass what the glitterati sophists have to say about this argument. It is dead on, no matter how much they attempt to wrap themselves in some kind of pluralistic open-mindedness.

It’s no different than the ‘official’ campaign. He’s still saying different things.....depending on the audience.

When do you think he will wake up from his dream of being all things to all men?

Did this piece of garbage every one time speak up for having a nativity scene on public property?

Prayer in school?

etc.

Never, not a single time. But suddenly he’s all for religious freedom??????????

Wes Pruden has a (sometimes) humorous way of telling everyone precisely where the bear defacated in the buckwheat! He used to publish some real zingers back when Slick Willie was desecrating the Oval Office.

Is there anybody as dumb as this dumbo-eared mack daddy? Only one I can think of who's made just as dumb comments is Mayor Bloom(ing Idiot)berg.

People just HAVE to see through these light-weight politicians!!!

Real people do, mostly! Liberals don't!
