Freedom of Speech does not preclude reasonable restraint of speech by the speaker.
The right to say something does not imply that the subject is worth saying. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped! |

I was assuming that this particular group of Muslims would be under the watchful eye of homeland security, and other nay-sayers. I'm sorry but why the hell should "this particular group of Muslims would be under the watchful eye of homeland security"?

Vaudeville hung on until the fifties, maybe even early sixties in Baltimore.

1, building a shrine to celebrate the terrorist attacks on ground zero is not a far fetched idea. That obviously has nothing to do with religion, and shouldn't be allowed. Damn good thing no one is doing that then, so that is certain;y not a reason to investigate them. BUT, I also see nothing wrong with some group doing that if they wanted to. There is a thing called the Constitution you know and it covers Freedom of Speech. It is not the speech that we like and approve of that we should fight to protect.
2, where the hell did all that money come from? Where does any development money come from? Why should this group be under the kindly gaze of Homeland Security just because they are doing urban renewal?
I find it hard to discern the objectives of any religious group jar, including Christians. Religion can be a mask. While there is a separation of church and state, that doesn't excluded them from the law. HUH? Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

You are sacrificing our safety, and our freedom just to dis-agree with me. That is what it seems. I agree that there is plenty of hate groups in America (as I pointed out already) and it is well within their right to do so. But we are at war jar. And when you are at war, you don't let the enemy set up camp in your fucking house. The only significant threat to the United States I see is statements like that. If you think we are at War, then we have already lost. If you think safety is worth destroying the Constitution then we have already lost.

I don't think we are at war, I know it. What I don't know is, who exactly is our enemy. What uniform does he wear? Where does he live? Well, based on that I'd say that the enemy is the average US Citizen. Edited by jar, : fix sub-titles Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Well, I can't. Sorry Charlie.
The guy may well be a bad person, may well be someone that the Dutch or even the Australian authorities might want to watch, but he is certainly no threat to the US. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Just a heads-up.
There is already a Mosque near Ground Zero, in fact has been since around the time the towers were built, maybe even before the Towers were built. It's really small though, so small that during prayers many of the congregation cannot get inside and end up spreading their prayer rugs on the sidewalk and street. This has been true for many decades and I have personally witnessed the Muslims there. If you have Google maps search for "Masjid Manhattan". Zoom in and you can see how close it is.

That is just another great example of the Christian Cult of Ignorance at its finest. They are so ignorant that they cannot even see the absolute joke that the name of their organization and their behavior create.

Running airplanes into buildings and a host of other actions from various Muslim strongholds around the world have caused a lot of the problems Muslims are now facing in the US. And US and Western behavior caused problems that led to such actions. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Also, what the real story is is that the person among many others contributed to a charity that was later identified as being connected with Hamas (IIRC).
As usual, Faux News is just making shit up. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Until the US realizes that it was US behavior that did lead to 9-11, I doubt that we can expect less then what he outlined.
The first step has to be the US honestly evaluating its own behavior. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
