A rare sign of former president Bush getting some deserved respect.

I'm not sure he's interested in establishing any sort of post-Presidential legacy. It would be interesting, if only to watch some liberal heads explode....

If they were “Moderate Muslims” they wouldn’t be trying to build a mosque near ground zero and they wouldn’t name it after a former Muslim conquest of the west.

Let them build it. It will be a bomb magnet. We need one of those in New York.

What's particularly tragic about all this is that the people behind the so-called Ground Zero mosque, the Cordoba Initiative, are precisely the moderate Muslims that everyone recognizes are an important bulwark against extremism.

When you have to base your argument on a lie, you automatically lose the debate.

It is clear by this statement that this author knows utterly nothing at all about this topic and is merely regurgitating his PC ideological dogma.

Mass protest at Ground Zero on 9/11. Wonder where our modern day Michelle Antoinette will hide out this year?

She has yet to spend one minute there on 9/11.

C’mon, their heads are exploding already!

The are running twice the unemployment (and thats understating it) of the Bush years.
They love to use the line of the mess we inherited...they inherited half the unemployment of today.

This speaks loudly by itself.

I do not entirely buy in to this argument: He asks,

Why now, nearly a decade after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, has anti-Muslim sentiment on the right gotten so virulent?

His answer is that George W. Bush has not spoken out. But he almost ignores the nearly constant provocation by Muslims here and and abroad, the unmitigated gall with which they operate in our country and abroad, their demands, their reluctance to accept the American Rule of Law and insistence on pushing Shariah, their subjugation and objectification of women, the honor killings on American and Canadian soil and elsewhere, their disrespect for the victims of 9/11 and their cheering of those deaths, their loyalty to foreign countries that happen to be Muslim, the tendency of their young people and their recruits to Islamic terror... I could go on, but you get the point. American anti-Muslim sentiment is a result of the actions and attitudes of Muslims. And opposition to the mosque at Ground Zero is a natural and self-preserving response to the Muslims' constant pressure on the American people and their society. I, too, wish he would speak out. Bu I don't know what George Bush could do to change the the rest of it.

But with Dubya now offstage, there are no conservatives left of stature//////

Dubya a conservative?

I guess he might appear that way to a leftist America hater.

Islam is a political entity wrapped in a shroud of religion. U.S. muslims are duty bound to see to it that islam is spread throughout this country (and the world) and will not rest until they control the White House and we are governed by sharia. Even moderate muslims know this, but they won't admit to it publicly.

If we value our way of life and the Constitution, we will have to recognize that this is nothing less than an attack upon our very form of government, and should be recognized and dealt with as such.

Bush is holding hands with the Saudis. Don’t look for him to do anything about a project they are partially funding.

Why now, nearly a decade after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, has anti-Muslim sentiment on the right gotten so virulent? There are clearly a couple factors at work -- primary season, the election of Barack Hussein Obama, the recent failed attacks in Chicago and Times Square -- but perhaps the most decisive is the absence of the most powerful voice for tolerance among American conservatives.

Or maybe they have the common sense not to stand by while the take over continues. This author needs to buy a clue; the question we should be asking is: Why now, only a decade after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, are we allow islam to take over like the cancer it is without radiating it.

It’s not going to be stopped. Christians and Jews have to apologize for being in the way on September 11, 2001. Don’t you feel enough guilt? Shame on you for existing. Who put those buildings in the way of that peaceful airplane flight by tolerant, loving death cult members?

When all Christians and Jews have bowed down in submission and begged forgiveness for being alive, the onward march of the death cult will finally be stopped.

< obviously bitter sarcasm >

Has Jimmy Carter applied for the privilege of building the mosque under the auspices of Habitat for Humanity, yet?

Thinly disguised “Blame Bush” piece. The meme: If only Bush would speak out, these racist right wingers and teabaggers would shut up about the Ground Zero mosque. /spit

To me, the most interesting question is: Why now, nearly a decade after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, has anti-Muslim sentiment on the right gotten so virulent?

Why is it always the right's fault? Islamic extremists kill thousands of Americans in WTC, "moderate" Muslims refuse to take sides, and it's conservatives' fault that a-hole Muslims want to stick a thumb in our eye by building a mosque at ground zero?
