My point exactly. Thank you for helping me make it.

I only wish I (or another citizen with a permit to carry) had been in that cafeteria. I carry a concealed weapon and I know how to use it. I would have ended that tragedy before those innocent lives were taken.

True and as time goes on and technology advances guns, like many other things get more sophisticated. It's not a happy reality but it is still reality. The biggest gun runs the show. The fact that "the dumber and weaker ones" have access to weapons is at the very base of why I have the right to own them as well. Violent crime per-capita in states that allow the citizenry to carry weapons is a fraction of murder and gun related crime in places like Washington DC.
Go figure.

Yeah...and what bearing does that event or any other tragedy have on the right of honest people to defend themselves?
People kill people. Not guns.

One thing is for certain. This man bases his moral and ethical values on a very different premise than I base mine. One of the things that makes this the greatest Country on earth is that he has every right to his opinion. For five generations the men in my family have served, fought and died to ensure this right. I would never attempt to deny anyone their right to choose. But, make no mistake; the moment that choice threatens the safety and welfare of me or my loved ones that threat will be answered swiftly in terms that will leave no question where I stand.

Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun.
Of course Teddy's gone so his car can do no more harm. Unfortunately there are many more gun grabbing politicians in his stead with their sites on the guns of honest Americans like myself.

I think my Uncle Charlie said it right and I concur; "From my cold dead hands!"

Me 2!

Exactly. It's about honor to those who lost their lives and the families impacted by the act of cowardice perpetrated on the American people on 9/11. All the government conspiracy theory is not extraneous to the premise and reason behind this thread.

Now THAT is funny ****

I have to disagree. What kind of logic is that? Relativity? If all truth is relative there is relatively NO truth. "Mean what you say and say what you mean." There's a novel idea!

Pick any Islamic dominated culture and apply the same comparison. Do the Muslims invite Judaic or Christian centers of worship near their homes or mosques?

I'm a tea party man!

This is perhaps the most historically accurate and morally correct statement I've heard on the mosque issue!

There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia . The time for
double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over.


The proposed "Cordoba House" overlooking the World Trade Center site – where a group of jihadists killed over 3000 Americans and destroyed one of our most famous landmarks - is a test of the timidity, passivity and historic ignorance of American elites. For example,
most of them don’t understand that “Cordoba House” is a deliberately insulting term. It refers to Cordoba , Spain – the capital of Muslim
conquerors who symbolized their victory over the Christian Spaniards by transforming a church there into the world’s third-largest mosque complex.


Today, some of the Mosque’s backers insist this term is being used to "symbolize interfaith cooperation" when, in fact, every Islamist in
the world recognizes Cordoba as a symbol of Islamic conquest. It is a sign of their contempt for Americans and their confidence in our
historic ignorance that they would deliberately insult us this way. Those Islamists and their apologists who argue for "religious toleration" are arrogantly dishonest. They ignore the fact that more than 100 mosques already exist in New York City . Meanwhile, there are no churches or synagogues in all of Saudi Arabia . In fact no Christian or Jew can even enter Mecca . And they lecture us about tolerance.


If the people behind the Cordoba House were serious about religious toleration, they would be imploring the Saudis, as fellow Muslims, to
immediately open up Mecca to all and immediately announce their intention to allow non-Muslim houses of worship in the Kingdom. They should be asked by the news media if they would be willing to lead such a campaign.


We have not been able to rebuild the World Trade Center in nine years. Now we are being told a 13 story, $100 million mega mosque will be built within a year overlooking the site of the most devastating surprise attack in American history.


Finally where is the money coming from? The people behind the Cordoba House refuse to reveal all their funding sources. America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could.
No mosque.
No self deception.
No surrender.
The time to take a stand is now - at this site on this issue.

Ya look pretty damn hot to me.

An honest evaluation, please.
