Obama's a Muslim?

If you believe that Obama is a 'secret muslim' then you are stupid. Your not smart enough to realize that a) you are being lied too and b) you are being used. The true elite in this country are using you to keep us fighting amongst ourselves. And liberal are dumb for putting up with this BS. It's all designed to distract us and get more of their people elected so they can try to pass or weaken laws that will be good for their bottom line. They are trying to line their pockets with more of our money. Wake up and see what is going on around you.

What a joke

Is it just me or is everyone in this country asleep at the wheel. Right, left it doesn't matter people just don't seem to care what is happening to them. When we continually elect politicians that are crooks, thieves and liars. We sit back and allow the corporations to take over and do nothing to stop it. The people who are justifiably mad about this stuff are just being used by the powers that be to stir up more anger and resentment and to divide this nation. It's Sun Tzu, divide and conquer. Except it's the American people that are being conquered. Not by socialist or communist or conservatives or liberals but by banks and corporations. They get people to shout at one another and pit us against ourselves and then laugh there way to the bank with all of our money. When we try to do the things that need to be done in order to reign in the fat cats (yeah, I said it) ,and I don't mean politicians I mean the bastards on Wall St. and where ever else it is they actually run this country from, they send in the lawyers and lobbyist. So, the question now is: Is it worth it? Is it worth waking up and seeing what is going on around you and then trying to do something about it?

Should you or shouldn't you

Well, that is not for me to say. What you do isn't up to me and you shouldn't really care what i think. That said, if I think whatever it is your doing is wrong I can say so. And you have the right to tell me tell me to mind my own business and you'd be right to do so. That's the beauty of living in America, we have the freedom to say and do what we want, where we want and how we want. Well, for the most part where we want. Obviously, you can't do anything to harm other people, including yelling 'fire' in a crowed theater. Trying not to sound like a meaningless platitude, but that is what makes this one of the greatest counties on the planet.

Now, this brings me to my point. The people building the Park 51 project in lower Manhattan, otherwise known as the "Ground Zero Mosque" have all these same rights. Last time I checked lower Manhattan was still in America and the Constitution provides for the Federal government to make no laws to abridge the freedom of religion. So they have as much right to build a community center that will also serve as an over flow place of worship for the other two mosques that are only blocks away as well. Speaking of blocks, let's set the record straight this center will be located in an old Burlington Coat Factory that is six city blocks from the site of the north tower of the World Trade Center. True it is two blocks from the several block area that make makes up World Trade Center complex. Have you ever been to NYC, six blocks is a long way. If the towers were still standing you would barely be able to see them from so blocks away because of all the other buildings around.

Honestly, I don't understand what people are all up in arms about. Like I said there are already two mosques that are in the area...one of which has been there for almost forty years. People say it's too soon and it's not being sensitive to those that lost loved ones on that tragic day. Okay, I'll give you that one. It maybe for some people, I couldn't imagine what that must have been like for anyone. The closest I got is living in New Orleans for the year leading up to and evacuating for Katrina. But I digress, always wanted to say that. Moving on. What all of the people ginning up all of this false outrage, that is leading to real outrage, are neglecting is that there is a mosque in the Pentagon. And it is only 60 ft from the spot that the plane hit the pentagon and no one there seems to have a major issue with it.

Then there is the story of a different imam who says that the people who perpetrated this atrocity would see this center as a shrine to what they did. Maybe so. He also makes a point that this place will become a focal point for those who think all Islam is evil. Definitely. But only because people have made a big deal about it. If no one had made hay about it, would those people have really known about it. Who knows.

Know the question is: should they or shouldn't they?

I quote the Clash because I think it fits so well "should I stay or should i go now? If I stay there will be trouble and If i go there will be double."
