No one is denying the Muslims the constitutional right to build the mosque. We're just asking for sensitivity on the issue of the site of the building.
If this really weren't a political stunt, Muslims would have no problem moving the mosque, would they? It would be of no consequence where the mosque was, and out of empathy and sensitivity for fellow Americans, they would move the mosque. They would quietly agree with the American people. This would not be an issue. And yet.
Were this not a political stunt, it would have no place in politics at all.
And yet.
My English teacher this year is a hardcore liberal, as I believe I've mentioned before. And he was trying to get us to think outside the box. (Little Red Riding Hood is the story of a transvestite pedophile.) He asked how we'd like to know that 9/11 was a conspiracy by our own government.
Earlier he had told us not to hate Muslims and gays. Of course, hate means anything that would remotely offend anyone in any way, shape, or form. So "discriminating" and "profiling" would fall under that category, right next to "suspicion" and "wariness". So in that sense I hate Muslims. Anyway, he tells us not to "hate" Muslims, and yet we can be as quick as--quicker than--we want in "hating" our government and assuming they were behind the 9/11 attacks. This is the logic of the liberal. You can't win, or they'll call you a name and point to your argument as evidence for theirs. You can't catch them in their own lies, because they'll just deny it with such convincing zeal that everyone will think you're crazy "which they will staunchly affirm).
The only solution is duct tape.
If this mosque is built (the "if" is just meant for grammar, not as a description of reality), al Quaeda will see it and remember that Obama is President and they can do whatever they want. At least, I'm sure they have the constitutional right, from the living (dying) constitution, to do so.
But that doesn't mean they should.
