Me, too — for all the same reasons. I don't like the idea of buying the land, as I'm still not sure who is behind it and why. The government giving our hard-earned money to causes we don't support is bad enough. Directly giving money to folks who may not be intolerant of our beliefs is insane.

Nope. It is for New Yorkers to resolve, but my two cents is that we should let them build it and give them an opportunity to be covered in the news for any indiscretion with the same fervor they cover the priest (less than 1% of priests, by the way) scandal, the same way they cover The Westboro Baptist Church, David Koresh, and let's all wait to see how far they get with Bruce and Lance’ wedding reception or request for a wedding or the myriad of things that offend their faith in this wide-open country, and if someone should want to open a butcher shop offering something other than halal meats next door, it should be very simple to proffer the same standards when they shout their sensibilities are assaulted.

Nope, this is America my friends. So long as they aren't preaching sedition, mayhem or murder, they've got a right to preach it, and I have the right to ignore them should I find them offensive in return.

“Directly giving money to folks who may not be intolerant of our beliefs is insane.” Should read, “Directly giving money to folks who may OR MAY NOT be tolerant of our beliefs is insane.” I hate when I type faster than I think.
