Level-headed, pragmatic, sincere.... what happened to those sort of Conservatives?

At the end of the day, I for one am not suggesting that this Mosque is a good idea. I know that something can be a right but not the right thing. In looking at the characters at play here, I see how this is that much more provocative. What I'm not is on a Crusade against Muslims. I still believe in the rule of law.

I dont have any real problem with your logic here. My initial reaction was to side with the ideal of FREEDOM of religion. The more i look at the issue, the less it is about that and the more it is about this particular group is RADICAL.

We do have a problem with a lot of people just going the "all muslims are evil" direction. we gotta get past that.

But at the same time, we have to take some long hard looks at those who want to do provocative things like this.

The Muslim Brotherhood is after Sharia Law in America and they fully intend to use our liberty and openness against us to get what they want.
