To Mosque or Not To Mosque

Well, Obama has done it again. He said one thing on building a mosque in New York, before he said something else on building of a mosque in New York, and then said something else on building a mosque in New York. This time it only took him a day or so to change his tune. First Obama stays away from the subject citing "it's a local issue." Then speaking at a Muslim gathering Obama says religious liberty "includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan--." And the backlash started, not only from the Right, but from the Lefty Liberals, Obama's base. So Obama "clarified" that his remarks addressed only whether building the mosque was constitutionally defensible, not whether its construction is advisable. Then the next day, yet another White House clarification insisting that the president's statements did not mean he was backing away from his original statement. Are you confused yet?? This is another example of an on-again, off-again position from Obama and his troops. He doesn't really care so he swings with whichever way the political winds are blowing or whichever group he is addressing. Very much like he did during the campaign.

Press Sec Burton said "The president thinks it's his obligation to speak out when issues of the Constitution arise." So this is suddenly a Constitutional administration?

Wow, how dare Obama lecture us about our Constitutional right to religious freedom when he has stomped all over our Constitution since January, 2008. He only cares about our "Constitution" when it's politically expedient for him to care.

And again, Obama has missed the temperature of the American people on this one. While he is lecturing about religious freedom and the Constitution, he misses the fact that for Americans this has nothing to do with either. We know we have religious freedom. We know what our Constitution says. But this is an emotional issue. People lost brothers, sisters, fathers, wives, husbands, kids, over 3000 American souls gone - in a few short hours. And who did it? Muslim extremists. And if the purveyors of the mosque really wanted to "build bridges" and "heal our relations with Muslims," they would voluntarily move the dang thing. Their refusal to do so tells us all we need to know about their real motivation.
