Stirring Up The Mosque Pot

By Semperpapa

The controversy over the Ground Zero mosque does not appear to settle down, entering the political arena with vengeance.
Ultimately, what the pundits on the news do not want to get is that the rejection of the project's location is not based on politics. If it was, than the opposition to it would not be hovering at 70% and more.
What the numbers show is that the building of the victory mosque in view of the location where the Twin Towers once stood is an appalling concept that transcends political ideologies, but is more entrenched in good common sense.

What makes it political is certain statements from politicians. When Nancy Pelosi calls for the investigation of those who are opposed to the mosque, as if the vast Right Wing Conspiracy is back at work, she makes it political.
Many Republicans are calling for avoidance to politicize the issue, one prominent name is that of the New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who expressed his opinion regarding using the controversy as an anti-Democrat campaign tool in November.

Personally, the issue of the mosque is absolutely not a political one, except for the support that Obama has stated for it.
As a deep believer in the US Constitution, I clearly recognize that the Cordoba Initiative has the right to build the thing where ever they wish, but there is a difference between what one is allowed to do and what the right thing to do is.
It is obvious that there is no problem for Muslim to have their mosques in New York, as there are plenty of them already, but the wisdom of the location and the arrogant insistence they are demonstrating about the location of this one is stirring up much opposition.

I have heard this before, but it appears that the New York construction workers have a problem with the project. These are union workers, many of them probably affiliated or leaning toward the Democrat Party, but the growing feeling among them is that they will not work on the building. All I have to say about that is: God bless them.

This is not a political issue. Some candidates from either side will make it into one because it will fit their agenda.
The responsibility lies at the feet of Obama because his agenda of divisiveness has the power to turn even the simplest issue of decency and common sense into a political battle.

Just my thoughts!
