If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Ground Zero Mosque

Bill Whittle on the ground zero mosque...



While I agree with Mr. Obama that Muslims have the right to build mosques pretty much wherever they can afford to do so...building one nearly on the site of Ground Zero and naming it for the capital of Muslim Spain...is inapporpriate.  I'll support such a most when the Roman Catholic Church is permitted to build a cathedral in Mecca...Muslims have a very long history of taking over sacred, or near sacred ground (See the mosque built on the siate of a Hindu temple in India, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, etc) and destroying sites that are dedicated to other faiths (the Buddha statues in Afghanistan).
