The terrorists have achieved their aim if by their terrible act they cause us to abandon the principles in our American Constitution. By their actions, they have caused a lot of Americans to be OK with the idea that we should restrict religious freedom for Muslims, let the gov't monitor our bank accounts, emails, phone calls & the books we check out at the library. Osama Bin Laden must be laughing in his cave!

So we wouldn't be "walking our walk"??

Sounds like this is non issue from what I heard on the news tonight. Apparently the people trying to build this thing don't have the funding. They were just 'stirring the pot' so to speak.

I don't know why it's not already the most thanked post in the history of SoWal.

Reminds me of an argument I used to have with my grandfather in HS. He'd tell me people should go to prison for burning the flag. I'd tell him he'd be right if we lived in the USSR. He'd tell me some things needed to be sacred because people like him shed their blood for our freedom. I'd tell him he was right and that thanks to people like him shedding blood our freedoms did remain sacred- evidenced by the morons burning the flag and not going to prison.

Edgy Grammy, the number of folks thanking that post is a sign that Freedom and Patriotism are alive and well even with us crazy liberals!

P.S. Back then I didn't have anyone to thank me for sharing such sentiments. I'd just (literally) get thrown out of thanksgiving or Xmas dinner for saying such things. LOL

It was almost Seinfeldian!!!!

Because not everyone here is of your mindset.

That sucks. Must have been quite a source of contention if they preferred not to be around you. You're among friends here.

I can disagree with someone and still have a beer with 'em.

Thx for that, Andrew. Back atcha!!!! I think we are all due for that beer!
