Of course not.
Now we’ll get the Mr. Goodhair and the muslims, blah, blah, blah.
bump.
Perry, who has campaigned on states’ rights and local control, said he would prefer that planners find another site far from Ground Zero. But he supports the right of local citizens to authorize it.
“I’m a big believer in freedom of religion but believe it would be best for all involved to put the facility elsewhere,” Perry said. “However, zoning is a local responsibility and as a staunch supporter of the 10th Amendment, I do not think the federal government should take steps to intercede or overrule the wishes of local residents. The citizens of New York City will decide the fate of this building.”
What is Ron Paul’s policy on this?
Rick Perry is the Texas version of Chris Christie.
The RINO has another layer.
He should have dropped everything, flown to New York and chained himself to something until the locals relented.
He’s just trying to convert them to Rickstianity.

* * GROVER NORQUIST / (from Free Republic - Nov 11, 2001): GROVER NORQUIST'S STRANGE ALLIANCE WITH RADICAL ISLAM
- GROVER NORQUIST Is president of Americans for Tax Reform, but one his lesser-known projects over the last few years has been bringing American Muslims into the Republican Party. Norquist helped orchestrate various post-September 11 events that brought together Muslim leaders and administration officials. "He worked with Muslim leaders to engineer [Bush]'s prominent visit to the Mosque," says the Arab-American pollster John Zogby, referring to the president's September 17 trip to the Islamic Center of Washington. Says Zogby, who counts Norquist among his clients.

What specifically about the article and/or Perry do you think national voters should know? That he believes it's a local issue and not something the feral government should stick its nose in?
Don’t you get it....Americans BOTTOM LINE are jobs and the economy...the rest they DO NOT CARE about...
Bury pigs at every streetcorner —at every intersection surrounding Ground Zero. And leak it to the press immediately after.And when the ribbon cutting is to take place have a slurry bomber ready to drop a load of pigs blood and guts groundzero at the sight and timed to occur about ten min prior to the ceremony. With plan b dumps on site anytime between now and whatever date set for ribbon cutting. We could also set up loudspeakers and those jumbotrons to broadcast the Marine Corps Hymn , and the entire National Anthem as the jibberjabbers love to broadcast their Muslim calls to prayer and we could have sermons by Patriots like that good ol’boy who burned the Koran for suitable broadcast during the event.
As far as I am concerned New Yorkers who approve of this eat feces.
But it is for the Locals to decide on.
“I’m a big believer in freedom of religion but believe it would be best for all involved to put the facility elsewhere,” Perry said. “However, zoning is a local responsibility and as a staunch supporter of the 10th Amendment, I do not think the federal government should take steps to intercede or overrule the wishes of local residents. The citizens of New York City will decide the fate of this building.”*********
In fact, Perry said it would be best to put the facility somewhere else. Pretty much the same thing Palin said when she appealed to the Muslims to relocate the building.
Perry here is consistent in his desire to have these types of issues decided locally.
I personally don’t want any mosques built at Ground Zero or anywhere else in the US for that matter. But I’m not aware of any major politicians willing to take that position.
Beyond the looney Paul (who thinks we need to listen to the terrorists as we were a primary cause of 9/11) this is not a disqualifying position as no one I’m aware of takes a harder line.
Back when Perry supported the 10th Amendment. Now he’d probably support a Constitutional amendment outlawing mosques within X miles of ground zero.
... you’re turning into a tempest in a teapot.
See your back to your favorite lib MSM sources. How so conservative of you.
Actually, what he said was this:

“I’m focused on Texas and talking with Texans every day about how we can improve our schools and attract good jobs to the state,” he said. “The people of New York City, not people outside the state, should make decisions on building permits and any land use regulations.”
Question.
Did they build a Shinto Temple at Pearl Harbor?
