Dallas morning news ^

Posted on 08/29/2011 5:08:34 PM PDT by Tempest

AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry and Democratic challenger Bill White agree that while plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero have stirred controversy, they don't object to a local decision affirming the Islamic group's right to build it. A New York City planning commission voted this week to clear the way for a planned Islamic community center and mosque near the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Perry did not fight the super highway...he embraced it and ran hard for it. Property rights be damned!

Okay, then you’re another FReeper who couldn’t see any problem with Nebraska stating that they were going to start castrating every white male at birth.

Good to know.

"Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand. Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in the interest of healing,"

guess who tweeted that gem?

He actually introduced the plan. It was his baby from start to finish. He only gave up in the spring of 2010.

You’re an ignorant dumbass.

A sure sign of a liberal who has lost a debate.

Thanks for the affirmation! lol!

A 'dumbass' (you) would not recognize that RINO Rick didn’t anticipate the tension his “Fine” with gay marriage comment would cause with the conservative base, which he could have defused by mentioning his support for an amendment straightaway. There’s nothing necessarily inconsistent in that position. But RINO Rick has completely backpedaled on his original position, a sure sign he can and will pander to any group, just as he has pandered to ILLEGALs, Muslims and liberal morons like you.

“What’s half the story. That’s the same excuse obama used.”

I see so then the day you and I agree on something, I’ll be wrong.

Nice straw man. A bit obvious and over the top though.

Get an intellect.

He is not for Gay Marriage. He is for States Rights. What a silly attempt to try to paint him that way.

Would you be so good as to explain to this Canuck why liberals hate the 10th Amendment?

(FYI to everyone: Canada has no such thing. If the Constitution of Canada is silent with respect to a power, it defaults to the federal level. Criminal law is at the federal level too.)

Whack-A-Temp would be much more fun if I didn’t truly believe he had already been hit on the head one time too many.

It just so happens that Ick Perry and Obama share the same position on this topic as well as many others.

I hear a rumor that Perry and Obama both have 5 fingers on each hand....a trait shared by many trilateralists, bildeburgers, CFR's, and neo nazi sympathizers...and OMG! Algore himself!!!

Wouldn’t that kind of assault be a Constitutional issue?

In order to have a constitutional amendment, it has to go to all the states and be voted on. If the majority vote yes, then it is ratified —by the states—.

Actually it's not just a 'majority'. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by 3/4 of the States (38 of 50). And it is entirely inconsistent for Slick Rick to have said he was "Fine" with NY's law and then, upon realizing how that is antithetical to the ideals of the conservative base, change that position and say he would support a constitutional amendment to support said ban.

You can try to spin that any way you want but you will only make yourself look foolish.
