With Patriots Like These, Who Needs Enemies?

Well, once again, our conservative "patriots" have become an embarrassment to the country. How can these people not see that denying full religious freedom to American Muslims is another victory for the terrorists? Every time we compromise our own values, they win. The Bush administration handed anti-American terrorists a victory by sanctioning torture--now some of our leaders would hand them another victory by forsaking the Bill of Rights.
It's hard to believe that Newt Gingrich, a presidential hopeful, would actually deny First Amendment rights to some Americans.
American Muslims must be feeling the way German Jews felt during Hitler's rise to power.

Concerning that proposed mosque in Manhattan, it's certainly a relief to see that Obama has ignored political pressure and taken the high road.

Nicely said. This subject causes my blood to boil. The "patriots" are idiots, hell bent on crushing freedom, the very thing they claim to defend.

1) Were there any Muslims working in the towers? 2) It's an irrelevant, intentionally- distracting, non-issue perpetrated by Rovians for consumption by 3) the same gullible,racist,illiterate poltical base who think Obama is a muslim and isn't a U.S. citizen.
