Susan, you really are full of stuff. You assume that people here are too dumb or too blind to comprehend what it is that concerns you.
Not real good, we're neither unintelligent, ignorant, foolishly friendly and forgiving, nor unable to calculate our own best interests and follow them.
Nor do we need information on the perils of journalism. My own next of kin is one, has been to Basra, Baghdad, Kirkuk, Kabul, and is soon headed to the Afghan/Pakistan border.
When the second plane struck, I was standing on the roof of my hospital and waited though the day for the survivors that we eventually understood weren't going to be coming in for treatment.
We are not against waging war and killing our enemies.
We are against spreading the type of oversimple mindlessness that multiplies our enemies while it diminishes our own hard-won freedom.
narc, how about you make your case for saying that this particular mosque is to be a Salafist den of criminals so that you don't continue to sound simple and simply bigoted?
last I heard, it's not illegal to practice any particular religion in this country and criminality was defined mostly by conduct.
@ narciso:
narc, it's not on the site, it's a couple of blocks away. there are plenty of mosques in NYC and we here are holding up pretty well.
the people of NYC and of the area are okay with it. the community board voted in favor of it.
the commissioner of police in NYC, an extremely devout Roman Catholic (and a former Marine officer who served in Viet-Nam) is okay with it.
the mayor, a very-much not-Roman Catholic, is okay with it.
we've not yet heard Madonna's opinion, but us NYers are just gonna proceed because the other Lady doesn't say " Give us your tired, un-Islamic poor."
if it's too much for you to digest, hang out with Susan awhile... if you can tolerate that brand of unAmerican bigotry and banality, you'll be able to stomache a mere mosque or three.
@ CK MacLeod:
Sounds like rocketman's rules for behavior on the line for Elton John/Spice Girl tickets.
@ Sully:
And we look forward to seeing you here for the occasion.
It'll be a hot time for all.
@ Sully:
Sully, you remain an inspiration to monomaniacal pyromaniacs everywhere, not only in this realm.

@ narciso:
We don't require eloquence of expression, narc, we require facts...
Put some on the table, or excuse yourself.

Don't know, Tsar, if I'm all gung-ho on reviewing DFCtomm's package,
universal precautions or no.

@ Susan:
and we surely won't miss your scabrous self and asinine rantings.
our loss will be someone else's gain and we wish them luck with your loaded colostomy bag of gab.
