Impeach This Man - Right Now!

OK, Obama has done damn near everything he can to destroy this country, but this is the last straw.
On Friday evening Obama, without equivocation, announced his support for the building of the Ground Zero mosque.

The announcement was made to guests at a White House dinner celebrating the beginning of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

I am stunned ...

Update - Obama was in full damage control today, as he has realized what a goof he made in making those comments. He's trying to clarify the comments, his spokesman trying to frame his words into what they weren't. It ain't gonna work ...

I've seen all kinds of lame bullshit out there on the right of the Muslims to build on that place. Here is an analogy.

In 1950, would President Truman have supported the building of a Japanese shrine dedicated to their Emperor directly across the harbor from the wreckage of the USS Arizona?

Update 8/17 - Obama and his spokesmen have been scrambling since Saturday to try and put into place some damage control. The public outcry abut his comments has been loud, and overwhelmingly negative. He knows he stepped in it, and is trying to lie his way back out.

Harry Reid came out with a written statement, declaring that while he was a supporter of religious freedom, the mosque should be built elsewhere. This is exactly what Obama should have said Friday. It is instructive that Reid's statement was a written press release, rather than live comments from him. His statement was no doubt written by one of his speech writers, and cleared through his staff to make sure it made him look good. I don't know if Reid truly believes his own statement - but I admit that it is exactly the right statement for anyone to have made on the subject. I will grudgingly admit that Sen. Reid did good on this one.

It has come out that a Greek Orthodox Chruch, destroyed in the 9/11 attack, has been denied permission to rebuild by the same NY commission that approved the mosque being built. This is truly outrageous. Here's the story:

How many of you have heard that the mosque complex is to be called 'Cordoba House'? Folks, do a google search on Cordoba, Muslim, and Spain, and see what you get. The name Cordoba has very significant meaning in the Muslim world. It is a symbol of Islam's victory over Christianity in old Europe. I'm not going to give you a history lesson here, but if you want to know ...

The selection of Cordoba for the name is by no accident. It does not represent the bringing together of Islam and other faiths. It represents the victory of Islam over other faiths. Putting that name on the Ground Zero Mosque should tell everyone all they need to know about what it's actual purpose is.

Update 8/18 - I am in awe of the gall of the far left in this country. All of the Democrat talking heads are framing this to be about Republican intolerance of religion. Imagine that - the far left, who hate Christianity, who hate Judaism, who hate Mormons (and who seem to hate every organized religion except Islam) are trying to lecture the Right on religious intolerance. Amazing ...

They are missing, on purpose, the fundamental issue ... very few people in this country dispute the right of this mosque to be built. Very few people want to prevent a mosque from being built. The vast majority of people just want it to be built somewhere else.

The Democrats are desperately trying to shift the focus off Obama sticking both of his feet in his mouth on this. They can't afford this to be a campaign issue in November - so they are lying and misprepresenting anythying they can to try and shift the public's focus away from the truth.

As iterrated in the comments, Nancy Pelosi has stated she wishes to start Congressional investigations into who is behind the 'organized resistance' to the mosque. Apparently in her world, no one is allowed to voice an opinion that is contrary to her own. No word on whether she will target Harry Reid as part of the investigation. Her twisted, sick mind is convinced that it has to be a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy - hatched and run from the EIB offices at George Bush's direction ...

As a curious side note ... anyone notice how neither of the Clintons have been heard from on this? Some things just make you want to go ... hmmmmmmmm ....

8/22 Update - this just won't go away ....

Have heard that several union labor leaders in NYC have come out and stated that they will not work on the Ground Zero mosque, if it is built in that locaiton. Good for them!

The far left is still trying to frame this as a religious freedom issue. Even though it is a ridiculous claim, for some reason they just have to take a stance that is contrary to what the majority of Americans feel. I wonder if Obama and Pelosi realize just how stupid they appear when they try to fall back on that argument?

David Patterson, NY's Democrat Governor, has tried to step in and meet with the mosque representatives to talk about moving their chosen site. So far, they have refused to meet with him. However, reports are surfacing that such meetings may indeed take place this coming week - whether they will involve the Governor or not, I don't know.

Angry demonstrations took place today in NYC near Ground Zero, between folks who don't want it built there, and a bunch of other folks. I wonder if those 'others' have any idea what they are really protesting - or are they just typical far left liberals who need a 'cause of the week' to go out and make asses of themselves for.

Mark Davis, local conservative talk show dude here in the DFW area, has a great Op-Ed in today's Dallas Morning News about all of this. It's worth the read ....

If the people behind the mosque really want to heal wounds, as they say, they will graciously back off and select another location. If they don't that should be a clear sign to everyone what their true intentions are.
