Again, this is not an issue of agreeing or disagreeing with Obama. Obama is getting exactly what he wants: Americans at each others throats. Both Obama and Muslims are laughing all the way to the bank. We are gleefully taking the bait the enemies of America have laid out for us - like the shiny coin on the sidewalk which we stoop to pick up only to find it has been glued there: like the rope we busily braid for somebody else to fashion into a noose. The aim is two-fold: first to divert our attention from weightier issues; second, to get us to quarrel, call each other names, and distrust each other. If political points can be scored, so much the better.
Midterm elections do not hinge on the mosque issue. Democrats will lose with or without it. No doubt, after they lose, they will blame the mosque fiasco.
No, the mosque should not be built there. The reason should be obvious. If it's not, God help us! Two parallel lines are forming: on one hand is the issue of government ruling against the will of the people; on the other, a mosque is being proposed to besmirch a site that is sacred to most Americans. Defeat the mosque and we have a chance of saving our nation from its unholy descent.
It’s interesting that Maureen Dowd is now asking for W to weigh in. She has been one of his most consistent and fiercest critics. She has made no secret of her hatred of him. Has she changed he mind? Hardly. She seeks to draw him into the mess and get him to soil himself - as we ourselves are doing every time we broach the subject. Hillary is obviously smart enough to keep mum.
