Missing the Point: Ground Zero

RSS Feed — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:02:04 +0000

I have been watching the battle over the proposed Ground Zero mosque in NYC with great interest. Some have argued that opposition to the mosque is a clear-cut attack on free exercise of religion. Those opposed to its construction say that religion plays no part in their unease. It is the location of the proposed mosque and the radical imam behind it that they find frightening. It has become a source of debate nationwide with even the President weighing in. The new outlets have interviewed every lawyer, activist, imam, and politician in the country. But it seems as though the voice of the locals, who will actually have to live and work near the mosque, are being drowned out by the sea of “experts.” Sure, we see footage of protests and town-hall meetings, but is it having any influence? When the final decision is made, will the wishes of the community even be considered? And if the people of New York believe this mosque poses a threat to their physical security, why should anyone else’s opinion even matter? Every community is different. It has its own look, culture, and economic make-up. and our country was designed to encourage this uniqueness. It started with a relatively broad set of rules laid out in the Constitution. States were free to draft more specific laws as long as the stayed within the bounds of the Bill of Rights. Counties, cities, and even neighborhoods contributed further. Some places going so far as to dictate the length of your grass and color of your Christmas lights. For generations, people have had the ability to settle down in a place that was perfect for their lifestyle. Whether you are a green-living liberal vegan or an SUV driving gun-toting conservative, there is a neighborhood just for you.

Watch as Obama says He Understands What Happened on 9/11, But He Still Supports the Muslims Building a Mosque at Ground Zero

So here we have the President of the United States saying that Muslims have the right to practice their religion and that they have the right to build a mosque at the ground zero site. Which means that according to Obama’s version of things, its not somehow a slap in the face to the United

Helen Thomas: The Real Lesson Learned Part Two

Hotmail — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 22:47:41 +0000

In Part One, we discussed the false expectation of objective journalism and how it relates to the outburst of Helen Thomas. In this installment, I would like to explore the rise in open anti-Semitism among members of the left. Liberals have long claimed to be the spokesmen for the downtrodden. They pretend to champion the causes of minorities and preach the tolerance of all religions and beliefs. I could write an encyclopedia on the hypocrisy of liberal “tolerance,” but today I would like to focus on just one aspect of it….

And the Nominees Are…..

The President has narrowed down his list of contenders for the Supreme Court vacancy. While we knew President Obama wouldn’t even consider someone with a pro-life or conservative record, we also knew that his rapidly declining approval rating should have stopped him from considering anyone too radical. Front runners Garland Merrick and Elena Kegan are exactly what we expected. They are both pro-choice candidates who lean to the left, but neither one appears to carry any serious baggage. Justice Stevens was pretty liberal himself so their philosophies alone won’t change the dynamic of the court too much. That isn’t to say that there is no cause for concern. The President has made it clear that he favors a “living document” view of the Constitution. Before anyone is confirmed to the bench, they need to be rigorously questioned as to whether or not they intend on using this approach. When the collectivists’ world view is combined with a belief that the Bill of Rights is somehow meant to be interpreted subjectively, we have every reason to fear the loss of those rights.
