Obama Backs Mosque Near Ground Zero
FOXnews ^

Posted on 08/13/2010 5:54:30 PM PDT by fabrizio

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero, saying the country's founding principles demanded no less. "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York and the nation. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

Just so you know that is not something that is back dated...I have been posting that link on Free Republic for well over a year...maybe closer to two years. I can’t remember when I first read it.

There are people who disavow that reading (other Torah readers) for various reasons..none of which I remember or could determine if had merit since I am not Jewish and know nothing about the religion.

All I know is that I believe God can speak in various ways..even through lottery numbers. I believe those Illinois lottery numbers were a sign.

This one creeped me out about Jesus Giving us the name of the Anti Christ

A QUEER judge rules for gay marriage. No surprise there.

A MUSLIM president supports a trophy mosque where world Muslims can gloat about their victory over America with the New York City Massacre on 9/11/01. No surprise there.

Nothing new here. Queer judges will support their cause and Muslim presidents will support their cause.

...his highs are getting lower, and his lows are getting lower. I think this is the icing on cake. I think he hits -23 next week.

As they say, "the trend is our friend".

For me, the poll numbers are simply an approximate measure of the public's mood and perceptions. I get a much better feel for how the people feel about Obama by reading articles and comments (from all over the web). Watching the tone and content of pieces in the MSM change is also a strong indicator of where Obama's approval stands.

Recently, we've begun to see criticism of Obama rising from within the ranks of the Democrat party, and from individual liberal journalists and talking heads. The honeymoon is most definitely over for him, and it's now clear that the general group agreement on the left is that it's now ok to criticize The One.

Without a doubt, there remains a strong base of support for Obama in the MSM and on the left, but they're at least up to registering their displeasure with him now. Some of the condemnations and near-attacks we've seen coming from the left against Obama in recent weeks have been real head turners.

It's observations like these that cause me to believe that his poll numbers are about to drop even lower. That, coupled with the fact that he continues to set off bombs in his own camp with everything he says and does.

I think everyone should make sure they have their passport and a plan to get out. If he’s re-elected we won’t even recognize this country by 2016.

Without the values, freedom and everything America stands for, let’s face it, it’s just another piece of land. Granted it’s our land, the land of our ancestors, the land we fought and it’s just so painful to watch it’s demise.

So, you suggest that we abandon all that our ancestors built, and run away with our tails between our legs? You're ready to just roll over and give your homeland to these heathens without a fight?

I can't believe you really feel this way, Joe. We cannot, and we will not run from this fight, my friend. It would be worse than unconscionable to do so. It would be the worst sort of cowardice, and treason to the ideals we all hold dear.

No, we must take back our country, or die in the attempt. That is the only honorable route for us.

That is not a Freemason handshake in the least. I won’t go into details, but it is obvious to any brother. (and the 100 year old etchings you show do have significant differences in what Zero is doing, but still don’t show some important points).

Most importantly, he does not live by the values.

You will find far more Freemason values here among FReepers who are brothers than you ever would in the current White House.

http://weaselzippers.us/2010/08/14/republican-leaders-boehner-king-rip-obama-for-endorsing-mosque-gingrich-says-hes-pandering-to-radical-islam/

WASHINGTON — Three leading Republicans reacted negatively to President Obama’s statements in favor of a mosque and Muslim community center whose construction has been proposed for a building near the site formerly occupied by the World Trade Center.

John Boehner, the Ohio Republican who is the House minority leader, said: ”The decision to build this mosque so close to the site of ground zero is deeply troubling, as is the president’s decision to endorse it.”

“The American people certainly don’t support it,” Mr. Boehner said.

Representative Peter King, a New York Republican, said that while the Muslim community has the right to build the mosque, doing so needlessly offends too many people.

“President Obama is wrong,” Mr. King said. “It is insensitive and uncaring for the Muslim community to build a mosque in the shadow of ground zero. While the Muslim community has the right to build the mosque they are abusing that right by needlessly offending so many people who have suffered so much. The right and moral thing for President Obama to have done was to urge Muslim leaders to respect the families of those who died and move their mosque away from Ground Zero. Unfortunately the president caved into political correctness.”

Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker, also condemned the proposed mosque and the President’s comments.

“There is nothing surprising in the president’s continued pandering to radical Islam,” he said. “What he said last night is untrue and in accurate. The fact is this is not about religious liberty.”

Mr. Gingrich said the proposed mosque would be a symbol of Muslim “triumphalism” and that building the mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks “would be like putting a Nazi sign next to the Holocaust Museum.”

The one Schieffer gave to Obama before the debate is a Freemason handshake.

And if you want to talk values..look who is doing the handshake here..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56CaT7c0XZY

I fully believe that the Muslims are not behind the destruction of the US. They are being used as a faction. ..a tool. Similiar to what the CIA has done in the past in other countries.

There is absolutely no way for you know who is pulling the strings for the New World Order. Is it only Soros? I doubt it.

And in way, Washington, Jefferson, etc were establishing their own version of the New World Order but more localized on the shores of the USA.

Btw, was that a Freemason Handshake that Tony Blair gave the Pope? Both who want a New World Order.

Values? Whose values??? J Edgar Hoover’s? Yassar Arafat?

REVEREND JESSE JACKSON??????????????????

Come on...REVEREND JESSE JACKSON A FREEMASON??????

You are completely wrong about Free Masonry and Masons; not to mention your theory about them being behind Obama, that that is a Masonic handshake, and everything else in your truly bizarre conjecturing.

First of all, that graduation picture you posted, is a high school graduation. Obama, at 17, wouldn’t be a Mason. At best, at that age, a boy could be a DeMolay, but since none of his paternal male relatives and none of his maternal relatives were Masons, he wouldn’t be allowed to join that organization. Ergo, even IF ( and that is no Masonic handshake, not even by your own posted illustrations ! ) it were one, he wouldn’t have know it.

The “G” in the background, in that picture? It’s not even the script type of any Masonic use of that letter and took place, I am assuming, in the theatre of his elite private school.

And talking about Obama giving Queen Elizabeth II a “Masonic handshake”, is so patently ridiculous, you leave yourself open to deserved ridicule and hysterical laughter. WHY? Because no woman, not even the Queen of England, is allowed to be a Mason and never has been the case. Of course, you will tell me that I am incorrect about this; however the ancient french texts about this have long ago been shown to be hoaxes/anti-Masonic propaganda.

Have there ever been “bad” men who were Masons? Yes, just as in every group, there were a few, through the centuries.

Is there some “secret”, clandestine lodge that he belongs to, is run by ? Only in your wildest imaginings! Ditto to your tinfoil belief that the Masons “run the world”! How do I know this for sure and certain? I come from a Masonic family ( several generations of the men were all Masons, even including father-in-law ), my grandfather and his brothers were all 32 and 33 degree Masons ( the highest degree one can achieve ), were past Masters of their respective Blue Lodges, and they most assuredly were NOT “running the world”, in any way, shape, manner, or form, nor were they part of some “evil” cabal!My grandfather was also a Shriner, which puts him in a very special class of Masons.

The Illuminati doesn’t exist now and hasn’t for several hundred years.

If you really want to look for who has guided and steered Obama, look to his Communist maternal grandfather, Commie mother, card carrying black mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, who was pals with another black Commie, Valerie Jarret’s ex-father-in-law, when they were both living in Chicago, and the black Muslims and Commies who have guided and helped him all of his life. And whilst yes, there ARE black Masons, not a one of those Obama has spent his life around, has been a Mason.

Besides many American presidents have indeed been Masons, so were John Wayne, Samuel Colt, George M. Cohan, Oliver Hardy, Harry Houdini, Buzz Aldrin, Florenz Ziegfield, the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale, Audie Murphy, Fiorello Laguardia, Douglas MacArthur,Rudyard Kipling, Clark Gable, Louis Armstrong, and all of the GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS, who pulled off the BOSTON TEA PARTY; not to mention many of your fellow FREEPERS, whom you have spent your time on this thread denigrating and impugning, for no reason and whom you owe an apology to.

The man is now officially a traitor. He’s giving aid and comfort to our enemies and his impeachment is way overdue.

He should be shackled and dragged to Leavenworth Penitentiary until the trial.

The Pope isn’t a Mason; he is forbidden to be one.

He could be a Knnight of Columbus, though, if he wanted. Which is more or less the same thing under a different authority.
