TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT BY TEABAGGERS

The GOP Right wingers are destroying our country, negating and devaluing our Constitution. The latest in a long string of religious wars in our country is over of Muslims, Islamophobia as it termed by some.  David Rosen of Counter Punch has written an excellent article on why  Shameless Schemers Like Sarah Palin, the Tea Partiers and Right-Wing Christians Trying to Start a New Religious War Against Muslims.  On 8/22, there were two opposing demonstrations near where the proposed Islamic Community Center is scheduled to be.  Rosen writes: " The construction of the center, often referred to as a mosque, has become the latest rallying issue for the Christian right, Tea Party proponents and Republican operatives in their war to impose moralistic and corporatist values on America."  He cites that over the last four centuries, Quakers, Mormons, Catholics, Jews and many others have been targets of religious persecution, often the victims of imprisonments, hangings, lynchings and other acts of violence.

I ran across another blogger, Arthur Sidos, who, I think, wrote quite eloquently much of what I would have written...had I written it first.  But he did, I did not.  Therefore, read him and not me on this.
