I agree that those who want to build the mosque/cultural center are grossly insensitive and ill-mannered. Yet they have rights. I hope Andy and Inno are right about the protest and boycott activity but I ain't gonna hold my breath.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569049699726344002.post-87772979184062719792010-08-14T07:36:24.507-05:002010-08-14T07:36:24.507-05:00Moogie, I'm in Inno's corner here, too. A...Moogie, I'm in Inno's corner here, too. And, in yours. I can't get on the "Hell Naw!" bandwagon when it comes to granting permission to build.<br /><br />But, I hope for (and anticipate) refusals by Steelworkers, Masons, Tradesmen of all types to set foot on that job-site. And, I hope for (and anticipate) an on the ground public uproar.<br /><br />Let 'em build it. Sure. If they want to wrestle in the muck to rub our collective nose in it, I say, "bring it on." Of course, that's "tough talk" from a guy that can't personally participate. But, those New Yorkers can be some pretty big S.O.B.s.

I&...I've wrestled with this a little bit, too. I've decided I don't want the GOV'T telling anybody where to put a building.<br /><br />But I want the PEOPLE to absolutely freak out. Link arms and block the bulldozers kind of stuff. Signs and posters. Family members of victims yelling over PA systems. Find out who the contractor is who has agreed to build this abomination. Boycott and protest that contractor VIGOROUSLY. Point out how said contractor is profiting from burning Americans jumping from skyscraper windows. <br /><br />I won't hold my breath for the mosque builders to apologize, but I think shaming them into inaction is pretty do-able.innominatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365636738022339985noreply@blogger.com
