Radical Muslims shout "Fire!' in lower Manhattan

It isn’t easy not to slip into some red hot diatribe on P-BO’s ill considered approval and support for building a Victory Mosque at Ground Zero. It wasn’t very long ago Lex gave up calling P-BO a whole host of richly deserved yet unflattering monikers. I was tempted to scrap this whole new tone thing in favor of unloading on the president over his latest callous, uninformed, idiotic, foolish and yes unpatriotic decision: 

“I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.”


Hmmm, let’s take a look at this bit by bit:

“I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country.”

As far as I know, nobody is telling Muslims that they cannot “practice their religion.” Could be wrong on this, but I haven’t even heard what the Lamestream Media think are the radical racists that make up the Tea Party movement declare that the US is now a Muslim free zone. This is what this guy does all the time. He constructs some of the most absurd phony baloney straw men imaginable and then proceeds to tear them apart. Then then lame brained left hails him as genius and clear thinker for tearing down foolish arguments of his own making.

The issue here Mr. President isn’t weather or not Muslims can “practice their religion,” It is weather or not it is smart or even constructive to put the Victory Mosque so close to ground zero. Only a self-serving fool would frame the argument over the Victory Mosque around a first amendment right of Muslims to practice their religion. That isn’t an argument anyone but you is making.

Next:

“That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.”

I suppose the president would support the Japanese if they wanted to place Shinto shrine at the entrance to USS Arizona memorial. No, that is not hyperbole. Really, I think this guy is so out of touch that he wouldn’t see a problem with a Japanese shrine extolling the virtues of the people who laid waste to Pear Harbor right next door to the memorial for the American victims. Yes really, he seems that clueless to me.

People and groups have all kinds of rights that they should not exercise as a matter of good taste, civility, common sense and decency. It’s like parents at a little league baseball game. They have a right to yell at the teenage ump when little Johnny strike out, but they shouldn’t. The ump and little Johnny are both doing their best. When an unruly parent starts in on the ump or the opposing pitcher, they are usually quickly put in their place with a stare or a “Hey, knock it off” from another adult.

That is what is missing here a stern word from another adult. Far from a stern word, Mayor Bloomberg, P-BO and a whole raft of Demo-Dopes are actually encouraging this outrageously poor behavior by a group of radical Muslims. Then, when a responsible adult does speak up, these fools on the left label that person an “intolerant bigot.” These are the same mindless elites who call everything outside their own wants, desires and moral leanings discriminatory, racist, fascist etc.

I’ve made this point before, I don’t know when discrimination got such a bad name. It is what allows us to discern the “light at the end of the tunnel” from an on coming train. It’s OK to discriminate against bad taste. It’s OK to be against something that is so disgraceful and so “in your face” offensive that it makes your blood boil. And it doesn’t matter one hoot that whatever that something is – is “legal.”

I’ll make this last point – and write this down. If built, this Muslim thing will be a point of controversy from day one until the day they put a wrecking ball to it. It will be nothing but a lightening rod for kooks on both sides. The religion of perpetual outrage will use every demonstration against it for propaganda, and I believe that propaganda is the primary purpose for whatever structure the radical Muslims place on that site. You cannot yell “Fire!” in crowded theater as joke for fear of the consequences. Well that is exactly what is happening here. Radical Muslims are yelling “Fire!” in lower Manhattan. But instead of hold the radicals accountable for the mayhem that ensues, Mayor Bloomberg and P-BO are blaming the people being trampled for their own plight.

That is beyond contemptible.
