Yes, I see "compassionate conservatism" all over the place.

Sickening.
And the standing ovation was because Americans are so concerned about pollution.
Jesus, if I was her I would have left, too.

She was probably scared to death. I don't blame her.

Well, it was a straw and she was the one I saw litter. I usually will say it to anyone I see. She happened to have been the one who was quite arrogantly standing there as she did.

And yes, the same amendment that all of the bleeding heart liberals are standing behind for their rights is right there for me too, but then again it probably does not protect me being I am American.

Funny how she just happened to be though. Nobody said a religion = being a slob. Thanks for playing, please try again.

What exactly was the purpose of your anecdote?

Can anyone find a map to post here to show where it would be? I'd like to see if it really would be at or close to ground zero. I was told it's like a block away but I really don't know.

Between all the buildings on every square meter of street between the two, you won't even be able to see one from the other.

You mean like the Kotohira Jinsha Shinto Shrine at 1239 Olomea St., just a few minutes from Pearl Harbor? The one built in 1962?
Thats right, a few minutes away....not right next door

Bull****. Read Charleton Heston's speech following the Columbine tragedy and tell us why he was wrong to insist that we stop blaming innocent, honest people for the atrocities of a few, and that those same people should not be told they aren't welcome in their own country.
That situation isn't even related to this issue...and can't be compared...

You may have posted it twice, however, it didn't capture my interest to read it...so excuse or not...I did miss it, it holds no relative connection to the issue we are discussing here...

Allow me to spell it out for you. Will only take a moment. You have my first post on this and got a reaction from a few people saying how wrong it was of me to say that. Now someone read too much into it as well and started using analogize.

My point is there are many die hard liberals who are condeming anyone who says anything about this mosque or whatever you want to call it being built near time square and use what proximity you want to if you need to justify it (you not meaning you directly, but those who are trying to justify it) and when we speak out about it, we are being told we are violating their fist amendment rights.

My point is why are not my first amendment rights just as protected? Why would my statement be considered "bad" when I have my first amendment rights.

Close enough that the building itself was severely damaged in the attack.
