I had no idea people were still so upset about FDR???

Oh, yeah, still mad at FDR... WTF??
They want a constitution based upon only their values.
Now, idiots are talking about the property in question being hit by landing gear (or something liket his) during the 9/11 attack...
To me, rising above this kind of mentality is a tribute to our diverse society. The idea of having different cultures and religions represented near ground zero points to healing and keeping with our diverse identities as a country. and And it sounds like a community center there might just help the neighborhood out!
I wish some of the families of Muslims that were killed that day would speak up along with other families representing all the faiths represented by workers (and first responders lost) and the general public that day. The WTC was a symbol of what is good about the US in many ways (not others).
Thinking about how this center being built could also demonstrate how US Muslims are NOT part of terrorist factions among their faith in the world.
UGH... is it true that somewhere there is a group of jerks wanting to do a public burning of the Koran to demonstrate against this? Oh, and the guy that wants a ban on ALL mosques being built in the US... there's a piece of work!
