This caught my eye this morning and I felt compelled to share. And bitch about it a little, really. I mean, I’ll be honest. It’s Monday.
Per Gateway Pundit (and The American Thinker):
Truth, even in the tightly controlled prison of the Obama media complex, occasionally bursts forth like a swordfish cavorting on the waves of a golden August afternoon.
Newsweek, the Washington Post’s former progressive stepchild, published an op-ed by Fareed Zakaria, the in-house lapdog for the Administration, extolling the virtues of building the Ground Zero Mosque. A couple of sentences demand a great deal more explanation.
To that end, early in its tenure the Bush administration began a serious effort to seek out and support moderate Islam. Since then, Washington has funded mosques, schools, institutes, and community centers that are trying to modernize Islam around the world.
We should be encouraging groups like the one behind this project, not demonizing them. Were this mosque being built in a foreign city, chances are that the U.S. government would be funding it.
Do you guys remember that whole separation of church and state thing? Well, I find it really interesting that we fund mosques as taxpaying citizens, yet the Ten Commandments being displayed at a courthouse (the HORROR) is completely out of the question. Let alone any bible verses being thrown around by our federal government. I mean, that would be HORRIFIC, right? There’s a rule against that, RIGHT?
But funding mosques? Perhaps you and I – the American taxpayers – possibly helping to build the one at Ground Zero?
I guess it’s O.K. – you know, as long as we’re all being tolerant and politically correct and stuff. Just so we’re all clear, though, that whole tolerance and P.C. only applies to everyone OTHER than those pesky Judeo-Christians.
Glad we got that straightened out. You can now return to your regularly scheduled Monday.
