That is what one might call "rubbing our noses in it" !
It is as if the Mosque Issue has as a goal to divide us and make Americans anti-Islamic
Makes me wonder who is really behind it
And OBAMA will make sure they get it... He will just add more taxes so he can help out his brother Muslims.
Don't worry.......POTUS and the PC crowd will make sure that they get it!
If anyone building in Manhattan is open to apply then they should get equal consideration. Many African Americans are quite offended by the Confederate flag, yet plenty of you still hold on to it while citing that it is your right.
Key word in 10:50 post...not african but "American" Many fly the confederate flag not for heritage but for purely hate which in this time is an absolute travesty. On 9-11 our freedom and our way of life were attacked. We are all Americans. The race card issue is over.
NO it's not. That's all they have.
