Build it elsewhere. Building it there is a slap in the face. But hey, we Americans are getting used to being slapped and not reacting, right?

Agreed. I believe they can build their mosque anywhere they want, but not here. It is sad that it will be built regardless of what the rest of America believes.

While I believe the mosque should not be located on or near the new Trade Center, I do not believe in burning it down.

While I believe in all personal freedoms, I also believe there are principals that must be upheld. This is one of them. In no way should the mosque be allowed to be established in the proposed location. This would be a slap in the face of every American. A major atrocity took place in our country and at that location and letting someone create a mosque there is deplorable.

What this does show is the liberal beliefs that are in control of this country and especially the northeast. 3,000 Americans were killed in a matter of seconds in the name of muslim (sic) jihad and our powers that be will just allow them to create something in the ashes of our disaster? Sad much like many other decisions made in this country.

Ah, yet another mix of church and state.

If marriage is such a religious rite then why are so many men paying alimony and child support? Does the church demand that? Did God twirl his finger (he does have fingers, right?) and use his tremendous powers to garnish wages from paychecks for that alimony and child support?

First, understand that marriage in this country has become more of a government allowance and legal contract rather than a religious rite. Yes, many couples are married under religious ceremony but that is only AFTER going to the municipal town hall and applying for a marriage license. What they don't tell you when you apply for this license is that you just signed a binding contract recognized my the government court of law. The religious ceremony is just a by-product. That is why you can go to town hall and get married with no problem but few, if any, religious institutions will marry you without a completed, approved marriage license signed off by the government. Even if a priest, rabbi, etc. will marry you without a marriage license you couldn't have any of the "benefits" (if you want to call them that) of that marriage. You wouldn't be legally married for tax purposes (don't even get me started on that) nor would you be able to be listed on your "spouse's" medical coverage. Then the divorce. Anyone who has gone through it will be able to tell you just how much of a legal contract it really is. The lawyer fees and legal documents easily show a link to the government.

Unfortunately the water is too muddy in this debate. Anyone should be allowed to marry but there should be a division of church and state. There should be legal marriage and religious marriages with neither being seen as one and the same.

She is attractive, not hot.

And I wouldn't say she is the hottest in the White House. Jackie Kennedy was the hottest that I know of.

Unfortunately our government has set it up so that we cannot overthrow them, even though it is well within our rights (if not our requirement) as described in the Declaration of Independence.

"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness".

Our forefathers were truly amazing men.

Oil??? How ignorant can you be??? US gas prices have gone up over $1.84 since 2003, the year the US invaded Iraq. If we were fighting this war over oil wouldn't our gas prices be almost nothing? How can this idiotic argument still be on people's minds?

Plain and simple, the war in Iraq was initiated because Iraq refused to comply with United Nations sanctions set in place to end the Gulf War of 1990/1991 and the United Nations themselves refused to enforce those sanctions. Since the US was clearly hated by Iraq and its leadership, we were the clear target of any military or terroristic actions Iraq would take so we had to take matters into our own hands and invade the country to remove Saddam and his cronies from power. Do I agree with that? ABSOLUTELY. Do I think we were ill-prepared to invade Iraq? NO QUESTION IN MY MIND.

Stop with the war for oil nonsense. It just makes you sound stupid to anyone with even a little intelligence.

Unfortunately our justice system has drifted away from being black and white and more about popular opinion and how rich you are. The Madoff case was one of the exceptions to this rule, mostly because the people that would normally be behind him and helping him get off were the same people he ripped off.

Ultimately the most heinous crimes are any kind of assault (especially sexual) against women and children. This is clearly evident by the social structure in prisons. Murderers are at the top of the heap while the scum who have assaulted women and children are at the very bottom. Thieves are in the dead middle and if they are a rich thief they usually aren't in prison at all.
