I do hope your post is sarcasm, because you people were not scared until Beck, Hannity and all of Murdoch's fat little men told you to sh*t in your pants. But by God when they did tell you, y'all crapped on cue like good patriotic Americans following the orders of the old, white, fat Australian.

So is your position that we should suspend the concept of freedom for fifty years because of public opinion? That religious discrimination is Ok just as long as it's against Muslims and just until we get over 9/11 as a nation?
As for what the Imam said, I could really care less what he says. What I do passionately care about is that he has every right to say it.
lemme review the video to make sure we watched the same thing....

American's are stupid. They never look at the big picture. All they care about is their little piece of the pie. A majority of us want to attack Iran.
I bet the one's that do never served a day in their life. But as soon as they start drafting folks they would change their minds real quick about going to war with Iran.
Point being this....We don't know what we want unless THEY tell us what we want.
Our leaders have done this to us. They are turning us against each other and its sickening. Americans are like a pit bull in a cage right now. They keep poking us and poking us and now we are ready to attack anyone.

You should read my previous posts. I gave another person some advice about debate you might find useful.
Connecting unassociated snipets of truth and trying to weave them into a justifcation for hate just doesn't fly in this day and age.
Those who opposed the civil rights movement used these same kinds of devisive rationalizations and that tactic worked as well, then, as it will now.
It is amazing to me that people who oppose freedom have the absolute gall to refer to themselves as patriots and to those who are supporting freedom an "anti American Americans".
I have a feeling that Germany, in the 1930's probably felt a lot like this country does today.

This is just awful, people in this country at least the majority are absolutely retarded.... I can't believe we can't understand that we know about 1% of what is actually going on in the world and what we do know clearly is to keep us ignorant and primal. This is what makes me embarrassed to say I'm an American.

The more reasonable conclusion would be that many people no longer agree with the right they perceive to have been given in the constitution to Muslims to build the mosque.
Perhaps the constitution needs ammended. The Sienna poll would suggest that it does.

Has it never crossed your mind that there may be people within Islam just as narrow minded as you perceive people like me to be?
Or is it only Western people who can be racists or bigots in your eyes?

So instead of recognizing that the Constitution is serving it's VERY PURPOSE regarding this issue, you think it should just be changed a on a whim to reflect the current MOOD of the country?!
Originally posted by nunya13
Regardless, like Maybereal was saying, it doesn't matter what the majority want because, especially in this case, the Constitution was meant to protect the rights of minorities more than anything.

Well, this is important stuff. Spread the 'good' word and all that.
What a species we are.
