Another poll based on false suppositions. The opposition to the building of the Cordoba Mosque (a.k.a Ground Zero mosque/community center) had absolutely nothing to do with "freedom of religion". Polls based on false suppositions are inherently flawed, just like that of the liberal mindset.

Why is there so little liberal uproar about the blocking of the rebuilding of this Greek Orthodox church destroyed on 9/11? Doesn't this church community deserve support? Or are liberals trying to eliminate the freedom to worship for all but Muslims?

Selective outrage and hypocrisy at best OP.

Default Vote in November!

Freedom of Speech
Send any emails that oppose Obamacare to 'whitehouse.com'

During the pres campaign Obma's people threatened to prosecute anyone who 'told lies' about Obama

Students stopped from praying at DC monument

Power to shut down internet attempted at discretion of president


Protection from unlawful search and seizure
Tell that to the GM shareholders who had their legal rights to receive compensation ignored in favor of the unions. Seizure of contractual compensation is the beginning.

Trial by jury
Ask Shirley Sherrod about her trial and subsequent firing

Remember the NBP at the Philly voting place....no need for a jury

Obama and Holder condem the AZ legislation without having read the dozen and a half page law

Lap dog Eric Holder declaring the outcome of the fair trial so ethically pursued and yet to be held for KSM.

KSM is being held with no charges pending

Peaceful Assembly
SEIU beats a black man at a tea party

No prayer on the steps of DC monument, student stopped from praying

Pelosi condems tea party with dramatic recollection of a sad moment in San Fran's history.....

Peaceful assembly not protected at the border states as people are 'discouraged' by signs that warn of local drug activity.

Peace was disrupted in El Paso as shots from across the border halt daily activity and commerce.

Other
Admit to not reading legislation and passing it "to see what's in it".

Bypassing legislative scrutiny and appointing Berwick to head a program with a budget larger than the defense budget

Obama claiming never to use the nuclear option to pass Obamacare because he would be unable to lead if that option was exercised.

SO it is okay to use government money to fund refurbishing of mosques...What about your dear "separation of church"..I mean, I can't say out loud "let them put a cross on public grounds to honor the fallen hero's of LE" without hearing "separation separation"...But I am FORCED to fund refurbishing of mosques...Yeah, the more I read this crap, the more I find myself just really pissed off....You don't get to have your cake and eat it too. It doesn't work that way, and that is a basic skill taught in kindergarten!

SO your poll is useless, IMO..Because it is not one party taking anything from anyone...

they already went after Freedom of Speech.
After the "wardrobe malfunction" in the superbowl the FCC went crazy with censorship. All because the evangelical religious right were up in arms because they saw a nipple on TV.

IMHO the current brand of would rightist would be tyrants are willing to eliminate anyone that does not agree with them. They have labeled Liberals and/or Progressives as blasphemers open to actual prosecution for disbelieving in the "conservative" first principals. Check out the post by mohawkx for a very blunt example.

This is a very dangerous religious cult, not a political organization, on the same threat level as any Muslim terrorist to the basic principles of the United States of America.

the hypocrisy of the left in this country is truly amazing. they scream about the patriot act, even though they were not affected by it, they scream about warrantless wiretaps, even though it was program designed to tap phones calls going to or coming from overseas, and did not touch domestic phone calls, among other things that were done during the bush administration to fight terrorism. and yet when obama and company reup the patriot act, nothing is said by the left. when obama not only continues the warrantless wiretap program, he expands it to include domestic calls, nothing is said. when nancy pelosi wants those that oppose the mosque in new york investigated, no one says anything. when obama says, without even knowing what was truly going on, that the police acted stupidly when they arrested his professor friend, no one said anything. had bush said the things obama and pelosi said the left would have been screaming for his head on a platter.

the reality is that conservatives are not after your rights, in fact we want the federal government to comply with the constitution and stop shredding it and using for toilet paper.
