I am not a fan of President Obama but in his recent statement about the proposed mosque near ground zero, the president showed courage in speaking the truth instead of politically correct Washington-speak.
In a free society, EVERY person must have ALL the rights guaranteed to ANY person.
There is no room for any political entity, individual or mob to be allowed to infringe the rights of any individual or group of individuals without endangering the rights of all.
As a society, we seem to have lost site of this fact and those who clamor for ;government to prohibit the building of a mosque today will wonder what happened when their own house of worship is forced to close it’s doors.
