To use 'freedom of speech' as a tool for lies and hate that will hurt our relationship with Muslims all over the world who have been peaceful and our allies only makes clearer how many Americans can be manipulated with hatred. To think that they are fooled and are making it worse for our troops in the Middle East is the furthest thing from their minds because they are incapable of thinking things through for themselves and only rely on the word of the con artists and would-be politicians like Sarah Palin, Sharon Angle, and greedy men like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. Beck uses religion and the fantasy that he talks to God directly and Rush Limbaugh is like the snake oil salesman who knows what he has doesn't work but he will get rich selling it anyway, despite the cost to the people who buy.
Do these foolish people not realize that it is only giving ammunition to our enemies as they whip there own sheep into frenzy to commit violence and terrorist killings of those presumed to be the 'infidels' against Islam. There are many articles and comments written on both sides of this issue. One example can be read here.
Josh Rogan wrote an article comparing Shirley Sherrod to Iman Paul. He wrote: "The State Department's top spokesman cautioned reporters Tuesday not to take snippets of edited remarks on the Internet by the "Ground Zero mosque" imam and use them to brand him a radical, lest they repeat the mistakes made by the media in calling former USDA official Shirley Sherrod a racist based on edited clips of her promoted on conservative websites." There is a site which documents Anti-Muslim bigotry. To read the entry for 8/31/10, click here. Mayor Bloomberg was asked to investigate the funding of Park 51. "Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo should not investigate the financing of the proposed Islamic community center near ground zero, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said on Tuesday, reiterating his support for the project.
"I think it's a terrible precedent," he said. "You don't want them investigating donations to religious organizations, and there's no reason for the government to do so."
So if all those people planning to 'regain' our country will stop trying to violate the Constitution and let the people to whom jobs have been assigned by votes or hiring do what they have to do, in peace and without guilt.
