I know what the muslims have against pork and strippers, but what is it about dogs they don't like?

[Scanker19]

They have more personality than they do.

I think its because they are "unclean" as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_animals

Muslims generally cast dogs in a negative light because of their ritual impurity. The story of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus in the Qur'an (and also the role of the dog in early Christianity) is one of the striking exceptions.[27] Muhammad didn't like dogs according to Sunni tradition, and most practicing Muslims do not have dogs as pets.[14] It is said that angels do not enter a house which contains a dog. Though dogs are not allowed for pets, they are allowed to be kept if used for work, such as guarding the house or farm, or when used for hunting purposes.

nevermind... Ginsue beat me to it! Good Ginsue! Good Ginsue!

Just shows that (in some cases anyway) we think alike.

As much as I despise to say it, he is right. Our important piece of paper says the government will make no law favoring or obstructing any one religion.

So government saying they cannot build a mosque on that site would be going against our Constitution...

So now, coincidentally, Obama's all about the Constitution? How convenient.

[Scanker19]

oh believe me, i'm all for them building it, because of the constitution. I'm even for funeral protesters, and flag burners, because of the constitution.

However comma

There is a place for everything and common sense ,however uncommon it is,needs to be applied to all of the above.

Chris Rock once said, "you can drive a car with your feet if you want to, that don't make it a good fucking idea"

I don't see the big deal, so our Muslim president want's to make sure his people get to build their temple where ever they wish. Perhaps he'll supply them with tunnel access to the buildings that he would like to see taken down too.

My how things change when the heat gets turned up a little bit.

Obama's original statement:

"Ground zero is, indeed, hallowed ground. But let me be clear: As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country. And that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America. And our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

New poll results (not to mention all the flak he's taking) show Americans think he's a dumbass:

From FoxNews: While his pronouncement concerning the mosque might find favor in the Muslim world, Obama's stance runs counter to the opinions of the majority of Americans, according to polls. A CNN/Opinion Research poll released this week found that nearly 70 percent of Americans opposed the mosque plan while just 29 percent approved. A number of Democratic politicians have shied away from the controversy.

Now he's saying:

Obama: "I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there," he said in response to a reporter's question after he spoke about efforts to aid the Gulf Coast region. "I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding. That's what our country is about."

White House Spokesman: "Just to be clear, the president is not backing off in any way from the comments he made last night. It is not his role as president to pass judgment on every local project. But it is his responsibility to stand up for the constitutional principle of religious freedom and equal treatment for all Americans. What he said last night, and reaffirmed today, is that If a church, a synagogue or a Hindu temple can be built on a site, you simply cannot deny that right to those who want to build a mosque."

This guy is a KING-SIZED dumbass and totally inept at relating to the majority of Americans. I can't imagine what a pain in the ass it must be for his staff to keep up with him.
