KT You still don't get it do you? Clearly Muslims, Glen Beck, Nazis and even the closet Communists at the ACLU you worship have the right to freedom of speech and religion. That doesn't mean we want to hold another Wannsee Conference in a Jewish neighborhood. Most people are hypersensitive to it being built where the WTC and other buildings fell because the same kind of Islamic extremism that caused 9/11 is not all that uncommon in these Islamic centers. That's a simple fact. The first attack on the WTC originated from an Islamic Mosque/center just like that in NJ. Why is it so hard to be in favor of free speech and religion, say they have a legal right to build the Mosque and Islamic Center there, but politely ask them to move it because of the obvious sensitivities? Only an antagonistic prick would not understand and agree to move it a few more blocks away. If that's what they are, then they are screaming out loud that the sensitivities are appropriate and everything possible should be done to not have any Mosque or Islamic center in the area at all.

This November will be interesting. Will the teabaggers boost the GOP or bring them down even lower? Most people think they will be a boost, and candidates like Marco Rubio probably will be. However, the great majority of their candidates are not sensible right wingers like Rubio. They are flat out nut jobs. Some have simply avoided the media, except for Fox News, which is the coach of their team. That is a good strategy for crazy people to follow, but can they do it during a real election? Also, will Democrats remain disinterested, even when the barbarians are at the gate? And will John McCain take every side of every issue? Can the horrible candidate, Harry Reid, beat the total whack job, Sharon Angle? Can the Dems sell their huge legislative victories, even with the actual bills being very flawed? Can anyone get the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes? And who defines who is wealthy?
