Give us your money and we will build us a Mosque



After a summer of protests, blogosphere turbulence and cable news boxing matches, the developers at the proposed Park51 Islamic Center in Lower Manhattan seem to be ready for another round. And this time, they're taking it to the bank.

Officials at Park51 say they have applied for a $5 million federal grant that comes from funds aimed at redeveloping that area of New York,

I thought these were just people wanting to obey our Constitution and build a Mosque....

But wait! Doesn't the Constitution call for separation of church and state??

Maybe the proponents of this didn't read that part.

My guess is they have and they think we are stupid enough to build them a Mosque that will be seen as a monument to the terrorists who attacked us.

Where's the ACLU when we need it?

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." - Karl Popper

“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves.” - William Pitt

"Logic. There is little logic among the cultural elite, maybe because there is little omnipresent fear of job losses or the absence of money, and so arises a rather comfortable margin to indulge in nonsense." - Victor Davis Hanson

Maxine says it all...



Let me get this straight . . . .

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't,

Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor,

but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents,

written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it,

passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it,

and signed by a President who smokes,  with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes,

for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect,

by a government which has  already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare,

all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese,

and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

'What the heck could possibly go wrong?'

Hat tip to Larry P.
