Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) today called for an investigation of those opposing the mosque being planned for construction a block away from the site of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on New York City that toppled the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center complex in lower Manhatten and killed nearly 3000 people.
Speaking to reporters in San Francisco, Pelosi at first deferred to New Yorkers on the mosque, calling it an "urban development question" for them to decide.
"I think everybody respects the right of people in our country to express their religious beliefs on their property. The decision though as to how to go forward in New York is up to New York," Pelosi said.
Pelosi reiterated that New Yorkers should decide in response to a follow-up question about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) differing with President Barack Obama on the construction of the mosque, but then launched into a brief tirade against being questioned on the mosque and demanded an investigation be made into the opposition to the mosque.
"There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded. How is this being ginned up that here we are talking about Treasure Island, something we've been working on for decades, something of great interest to our community as we go forward to an election about the future of our country and two of the first three questions are about a zoning issue in New York City," hissed Pelosi.
Audio of Pelosi's comments was posted by KCBS-AM-FM which ignored Pelosi's call to investigate the opposition to the mosque in its summary of her remarks--likewise for the San Francisco Chronicle.
There was a lot more to it than that. Mormonism was, in its origins, very similar to Islam and was meant to be a theocratic system (where the civic society was ruled by religious law and the clergy). The Mormons were very aggressive and sowed fear everywhere they went, attacking wagon trains passing through “their” territory and essentially trying to set up a separate society. One feature of this was polygamy, but the real reason that Mormonism had to be defeated by the US is that it was an unconstitutional rival political system and it was attempting to spread itself through aggression.
Islam is exactly the same, and I think we would be fully justified in attacking it and driving it out. Mormonism was a new “religion” in the 19th century US and didn’t have a large number of followers, so it was fairly easy to get those who wished to remain part of the US to abandon violence, conquest and any of the features that conflicted with US law (such as polygamy). I don’t think Islam, which has been around a lot longer and has a lot more money and power behind it, will be willing to adapt, which therefore means that the only solution is that it must be forced out of this country and never allowed to get a toehold here again.
_itch. With a B or W. Both work.
Now I know I am living in an alternative universe..... =.=
Click the KCBS link in the article. That audio is perfect.
How dare the serfs question their masters.
The WTC Victory Mosque is New Yorks version of the Al Aqsa Mosque on the ruins of the Temple Mount.
They even call it the Cordoba House.
Cordoba was the seat of the Islamic Caliphate in Europe when Muslim hordes conquered the Iberian peninsula.
She and her flying monkeys can come and investigate me all they want.

What a [omitted]ing a[omitted]e this Pelosi bitch is. Thanks kristinn.
“Typical lib, believing that all political points of view must be ginned up and funded.”
It’s called “projection”. They do it, therefore, they think EVERYONE does.
Liberalism IS a mental disease.
Ooh...investigate me, Nancy! Let me know when, I’ll get new highlights done.
Maybe she will be if the republicans retake the House in November.
As I understand it, Darrell Issa (R-CA) has a huge highly trained staff already waiting at the gates with Congressional subpoenas now being drafted.
January will NOT be fun for Nancy when she gets that big gavel shoved up her skank @ss.
Pelosi is a klaxton telling others to plug the leak.
"WHAAA......WHAAAA......WAAHAAAAAAA..WE ARE MELTING.........PLUG THE LEAKS.....WAHAAAAAAA!"
( LOVE THE WHINING)
Sorry Nancifer, your dear leader is going down, and he will never recover.People are exiting the Obama ship in droves, and Nancifer, be a good girl and go down with the ship.
Wiley Harry is already in a life boat, no room for you!
Who in all hail does she think she is, defining what is political and what is not?EFF YOU NANCY!
Watch the ugly fascist face of this new nationalist socialist party as it continues to reveal itself.

Dumb and Dumber...
Rangel-Pelosi
This is truly stunning. Just tonight I was talking with someone and I said that Muslims are like Obama, or vice versa: they both just go ahead and do what they want, regardless of law or custom in this country. We were marveling at how they get away with it and commenting on the fact that it depended on keeping people too scared to speak out. They have moved quickly, people are dumfounded and uneasy, but criticism has already been ruled out because it is immediately branded as anything from “racist” to “right wing radical.”
Even so, I’m stunned at hearing Pelosi actually come out and make this threat so overtly against people who dare to question Islam’s latest assault on our country.
What a bunch of SOB's
LOL, remember how SanFranNan was convinced that the Tea Party was Astroturf? It’s the way her brain works. The idea that anyone could, out of conscience, oppose anything she espouses is so utterly anathema to her obvious infallibility it demands the hidden hand of a nefarious cabal.
Yes, the radio link works and I sent it to the world. But it would have been much better with her Botoxed jaw flapping for a visual. :)
“Building a mosque on Ground Zero is like a dog mark his territory.”
Brilliant metaphor.
Hmmm.. Wonder why Pelosi isn’t investigating where the funding for this “temple of victory” is coming from.
