I don't question the right to build a mosque near the WTC, just the wisdom. Even though I recognize the overflowing Muslim population of Battery Park City will be without a place to worship.
I respect that you believe in smaller government, deregulation of business, less consumer protection.
Those are defensible points.
BUT...
This is not what is coming out of the Tea Party, Rush, Palin and other Republican leaders right now.
You need to let people know that they are not your Republican party.
Your quote above does not help.
If you know that a an overflowing Muslim population in Battery Park is with out a a place to worship, why do you think building one is a bad idea?

Dr. Laura To End Show Following Her N-Word Fracas
Schlessinger Wants To 'Regain First Amendment Rights'
LOS ANGELES (AP) ???
Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the talk show host who recently apologized for saying the N-word 11 times to a caller on the air, said Tuesday she plans to give up her radio show when her contract is up at the end of this year.
The conservative advice maven made the announcement on CNN's "Larry King Live," saying she wants to "regain her First Amendment rights."
Schlessinger said she's not retiring or quitting. Instead, she said, she feels stronger and freer to say what she believes needs to be said.
"I want to be able to say what's on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry ??? some special interest group deciding this is a time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates and sponsors," she said.
Schlessinger apologized last week for saying the N-word several times in an on-air conversation with a caller whom she accused of being hypersensitive to racism. She said on her website that she was wrong in using the word for what she said was an attempt to make a philosophical point.
"To imagine that there are people who refuse to accept an apology because they have an agenda and would like me silenced ??? I'm done with that," she said.
During the on-air exchange, Schlessinger said the caller, who said she was black and married to a white man, was too sensitive for complaining that her husband's friends made racist comments about her in their home.
Schlessinger told King she "never called anybody a bad word" and "wasn't dissing anybody."
Corinne Baldassano, an executive with Schlessinger's production company, Take on the Day LLC, said the talk show host plans to pursue opportunities through her website, books, podcasts and a YouTube channel.
At least two national sponsors of her radio program, General Motors Co., and Motel 6, owned by Accor SA, have pulled out, Baldassano said.
Previously, Schlessinger's negative comments about homosexuality on her television show in 2000 inspired gay activists to campaign to get her off the air.

Fuck that. There are some things you can not apologize for. Especially when you don't mean it and everyone knows it.

Unless you're a Democrat and then you pretty much get a pass for anything.
She should join the Fox News circus. That way people will know that her biased commentary is issued for entertainment purposes. If she becomes a YouTube partner, any viral videos will make her more money than I'm comfortable seeing her get.

Hooray, Almond!!! Go for the gold.
wait, how do I add the "shreddin' it" picturine to my post?
Then you lump it in with the anti-immigrant, anti-MEXICAN shit as well.
There is no anti-immigrant or anti-Mexican movement (or "shit" as you might say... and don't be a pendantic smartypants by citing the existence of a couple goons who say that they are against any legal immigration of Mexicans or anyone else from south of the border.) There is a movement for adherence to law and order (already existing laws that the Federal government is derelict in enforcing and the new Arizona state law that enforces as an autonomous state function an analogue of the already barely enforced Federal law) and to deal with the very real problem of the criminal and state budget economic fallout that is a result of the unabated influx of illegal aliens, but this is not an anti-immigrant/anti-Mexican movement.

uh-huh. so if i read this properly it's the first amendment rights of others she has a problem with. she wants to say shit with impunity and anyone who disagrees is trying to stifle her free expression.
she's disingenuous enough to be on fox but they only hire blonde women under 40.
btw, does this lampray clown actually post shit about music ever?

Adding her to the lineup of O'Reilly, Beck, and Fox and Friends will definitely be "Must See TV."
"What race will she speak of next?! Will she rant on about Hispanics marrying just so that they can become American citizens?!"
"Sarah Palin is offering words of encouragement to Dr. Laura Schlessinger through her Twitter account.
Dr. Laura, as she's known on her radio program, has come under fire in the past week for using the N-word eleven times while on the air with a caller to her show. She quickly apologized and then announced that she would end the program once her contract expires later this year.
Palin, once the governor of Alaska and Republican nominee for vice president in 2008, has used social media to push her messages in recent months. Her latest offering comes out in support of Dr. Laura. Her first of two tweets on Wednesday night read:
Dr.Laura:don't retreat...reload! (Steps aside bc her 1st Amend.rights ceased 2exist thx 2activists trying 2silence"isn't American,not fair")
That was followed quickly with:
Dr.Laura=even more powerful & effective w/out the shackles, so watch out Constitutional obstructionists. And b thankful 4 her voice,America!"
Dr. Laura was just on some late night talk show and was surprised that the host listened to the entire phone conversation with the woman, said that if someone listened to the whole conversation it was obvious that Dr. Laura was trying to help her, and then said that it was the woman's fault for bringing up the n-word, and that Dr. Laura was trying to answer the question from a "black perspective." The good doctor seems at a complete loss on how to explain her actions or defend herself.
Wikipedia (I know, that doesn't make it automatically correct) :
"Some African-Americans express considerable offense when referred to as a nigga by Caucasian people, but not if they are called the same by other African-Americans, or by some other minority, as a term of endearment.[9] In this case, the term may be seen either as a symbol of brotherhood,[13] similar to the usage of the words dude and bro, and its use outside a defined social group an unwelcome cultural appropriation. Critics have derided this as a double standard.[7]"
Is this a double standard or not? I'm white and my best friend at work is black. We both have the same "test the limits" sense of humour. It started with the Curtis mayfield track "If there's a hell below". He called me whitey and I called him "nigga". Since then he continues to call me whitey every day but I only use the n-word to him on very rare and discreet occasions when it's absolutely clear by the context that it's meant 300% in jest. That might shock some folks here but you can't get it if you're not there in the context and don't know our frienship. But the connotions of "whitey" and "nigga" just aren't the same. As a white guy I couldn't feel right calling him "nigga" like a nick name even though he calls me whitey every day. Calling it a double standard rides roughshod over centuries of history. I suppose that North American Afro- Americans have appropriated the term for themselves as a way of drawing a line - stealing the white-dominated discourse from under their-own eyes and taking control of it. (I'm sure you'll put me right if you disagree) For that reason I think it's a good thing and that crying "double standards" is totally missing the point.

If you're going to cuntpaste articles from Huffpo or other "news" outlets you should at least cite the source. Better yet, just don't post it at all since its not an original thought, takes absolutely no effort or input on your part, and we could read Huffpo for ourselves if we want.
