Stone-Cold Hatred In Liberal Heaven, by Mike Gold – Brainiac On Banjo #183

President Barack Obama had a profound moment last weekend, one that could go down in a sequel to John Kennedy’s Profiles In Courage. Instead of being his usual wishy-washy, overly conciliatory self, Obama came out in favor of New York’s Ground Zero mosque. And then the shit hit the fan.

As I’ve often stated, the concept of Freedom of Religion is the great American myth. Therefore, I was encouraged by Obama’s definitive statement: “This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country and will not be treated differently by their government is essential to who we are.” And the lunatic bigots went predictably ballistic.

New York has been branded as the capitol city of American liberalism. But according to a Quinnipiac University, 52% of the locals oppose the mosque, and only 31% are in favor. The remaining 17% are morons. “New York enjoys a reputation as one of the most tolerant places in America, but New Yorkers are opposed to a proposal to build a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero,” Quinnipiac University Polling Institute Director Maurice Carroll stated.

Let’s contrast this with the recent CNN/Opinion Research poll that found nearly 70% percent of Americans opposed the mosque plan while just 29% were in favor.  Hey, New Yorkers! You’re well on the way to being one of those “fly-over” states you so chauvinistically deride.

New Yorkers act as though they own 9-11. To listen to the locals babble, the bomb planes didn’t leave from Boston, they didn’t carry people of all (and no established) faiths from all over the world, the World Trade Center only contained New Yorkers instead of people of all (and no established) faiths from all over the world, no bomb planes hit Washington DC, and no bomb plane crashed in Pennsylvania.

But let’s look at that Washington DC bombing. It happened at the Pentagon on the same day, 9-11 (note: “9-11” is a trademark of Rudolph William Louis Giuliani, All Rights Reserved, and a tip of the hat to Joe Biden for pointing that out). Since that day nine years ago where 184 were murdered, the Pentagon established a mosque inside the Pentagon. Not two blocks away, not foisted upon the populace by Marxist-Islamic terrorist American politicians, but in and by the Pentagon. Over 100 Moslems celebrated Ramadan there this past month.

Yes, friends, the Pentagon is more cosmopolitan than the city of New York.

But in keeping with the spirit of those who are opposed to the lower Manhattan mosque, I’ve got a proposal.

Let’s tear down all the Catholic churches that are within two blocks of children’s centers: day care, Head Start, orphanages, battered family facilities, and so on. After all, isn’t their very presence an assault on the sensitivities of the victims of priestly sex abuse?

What? You’re telling me that not all priests porked children? That only a few, admittedly a large number but a small percentage, were actually guilty of this hideous crime?

Yes. You’re completely right. And maybe you’re getting the point.
