I think they should build the mosque. Bill and I hardly ever disagree but in this case I say build that mosque and Community Center there so kids can meet, community groups can rent office space at a low rate, people can work out and they can bring a vibrant socially responsive environment to that area. We should build some Freedom of Speech Zones for the protestors that are about a mile away like the zones at the Democratic Convention and let them stand out in some field somewhere and holler as much as they want. Better yet, let them write letters to their Representatives and see how much that does. If Pat Roberston is against it, I’m for it.

The Mosque Protest is a Waste of Time We Need Correction Not Change
Sometimes people protest the wrong things. All of that energy wasted while employment rises and health care increases talking about mosques, whether the President is American, the latest winner on America’s Got Talent while unemployment is constantly rising–to almost 50% in some inner city areas. A few weeks ago it was reported that Obama designated 600 million dollars to protect the border. Why can’t he find any money for job creation and educational grants, or a failing healthcare system for Americans who don’t have insurance and even have it. My insurance is horrible. I have a five thousand dollar deductable. What kind of insurance is that? The current economic problems are more about priorities than lack of funds. For six hundred million dollars you could build a new nation on an island and let illegals live there. Why not give them Arizona? It hasn’t done anything except create bad laws and senators. I don’t mean to upset all of the people who love Arizona, in fact I think I know both of them, but it could go. But then the U.S. citizens would be forced to show their papers because the Mexican border will have crossed over them and enveloped them. Wait a minute. Since Arizona used to be part of Mexico–that’s what happened to a lot of the Mexican-Americans who live there and have to show their papers. That is really lame.
Sestak Screws Up
Sestak screws up. OK, that’s one of those phrases that you could copy to a clipboard from which to paste into a story for convenience sake but yesterday Pennsylvania’s 7th District Congressman and Democrat nominee for U.S senate has admitted to doing so, which makes it a bit more newsworthy than normal.
Joe Sestak has announced that he erred in seeking to send $350,000 in taxpayer money to the Thomas Paine Foundation, which is an organization owned by Drew Devitt aimed at promoting the cause of atheism, to design a new kind of windmill which would be built by New Way Energy of Chester Township, Pa, which is an organization owned by the same Drew Devitt and aimed at promoting the cause of increasing his bank account.
Now, why would Congressman Sestak think it a good idea to give $350,000 of taxpayer money to an atheist group to build windmills? I have no idea. Why do people do these sorts of things?
Anyway, Joe is really not someone we want writing our laws.
