Freedom is a wonderful thing. As a nation we fought and died for it. But absolute freedom without thought or rules is a bad idea.
Freedom of speech is important.....but you shouldn't be able to scream "FIRE" in a crowded theater and laugh at the reaction. Bad idea.
Freedom of sexual expression is important....but you shouldn't be able to fornicate on your driveway in front of the neighborhood children. Bad idea.
Freedom of religion is important.....but building a mosque at ground zero is a ridiculous proposal designed to rile the masses and cause unrest. The fact that President Obama doesn't recognize this is troubling.
Building a mosque is important....building it at ground zero is a very bad idea.
Your thoughts?

ReplyDeleteThe Mosque should be allowed to go forward as soon as all the Muslim countries in the MidEast grant freedom of religion to their Christian minorities and allow them to build churches where they wish to.
