Author needs to go back to school and learn to count numbers higher than ten.It is highly likely that the 'author' didn't count anything. He was 'given' the figures by management.

They have a sliding scale. Multiply times 10 for groups we support, divide by 10 for groups we don't.

Amazing considering how Ted Olson's wife died.

As you say it is amazing. For as you will know, but to refresh for others, the swines murdered her.

Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon, 9/11. Phone messages were said to have been made to Theodore (Ted) Olson, by her, before her death. Doctor Phil seems to have dropped his little catch phrase these days. One could respectfully say to Theodore.

What! what were yew thinkin....?

P.S.

From the photo, I just noticed there was a barrier all of you were cowering behind. Not good. There were more of you than them. You should have stormed the place. Why didn’t you? Cold feet?

I’m trying to understand how a religion that celebrates and propegates mass murder and acts of war towards us believes it has ANY rights under the constitution. I’m also having a hard time understanding a President who feels that they have those rights as well. .

"the mosque and Islamic center that has been proposed"

funny, NY Times hack did not get the memo: it's no longer to be referred to as a mosque at all but as a "community center with a prayer room"

that's the latest output from the empty headed surrender monkeys of the left

would you dare build a house 2 blocks from them.

And ask them for the money to fly around the world collecting money to build that house.

please tell us more about the general feelings you got there. Thank

Tennessee. There was a woman from The Great State of Tennessee who spoke at the rally and who I think said all that needed to be said. A brave and courageous woman ( her name escapes me at the moment) who rocked the crowd when she said that "Islam is not a religion, it’s a geo-political military movement."

The general feelings at this event were not good. It’s hard to describe what not good means as you stand on a corner for over three hours on a Sunday in August staring at a space were several buildings were destroyed and almost 3000 people were killed, some I knew. What’s equally hard to describe is the feeling of contemplating why they died but you know they died because they represented freedom; they died because they were American.

Of course, now the ideology that sent the 9/11 murderers (Islam) is seeking to firmly establish its dominance in New York City. It’s openly doing so by setting up its victory mosque a headstone away from ground zero and only 500 to 2000 people show up to stop it.

No matter. The overall crowd was peaceful but determined and angry. This is the good part because we need to get determined and angry in order to preserve our freedom and way of life.

You should have stormed the place. Why didn’t you? Cold feet?

What good would that have done? It is against the law.

A much better idea would be to move in and say you are a HOMESTEADER.

Interesting, the liberal media is reporting 500 at the Ground Zero protest and Fox News said it was over 1,000, and it sure as heck looked like over 1,000, and for the counter-protest the liberal media is saying 200 and Fox News says about 75. Seems to me Fox News has a better record on accuracy then the Lame Stream Media does, so I’ll go with their figure.

Oh. Excuse me.

But, you suggested storming some place - I assume in NYC. What is that all about?

“Here we protest first then we let the will of the people handle things if need be.”

Exactly. Let the other guy do it while others sit on their butts. Call in the blue helmets.

That was not a barrier I saw in the photo. It was chicken wire.
