Then you can be certain that
soon to be former New York Governor David Paterson will be in favor of it:
Gov. David A. Paterson said Tuesday that he would consider offering state-owned property to the developers of a $100 million Muslim center and mosque if they decided to build it farther from ground zero.
The governor, wading into a fierce national debate over freedom of religion, said “there is no reason why” the center, known as Park51, should not be built as planned, two blocks from the former World Trade Center.
Well, let's see. We have:
- Appealing to the basest of bigoted demagogues.
- Just how far from ground zero do you have to be?
- Why is it OK for a strip club to be located less than a block away from the mosque sites.
- This a blatantly unconstitutional engagement of religion by the government. It's both a subsidy, and a ban based on a the religion of those involved.
- OK, I'm a Jew, when does my shul get its free real estate on Manhattan?
Seriously, this guy almost makes McConnell and Boehner look good.
