Feel free to point out where I call conservatives 'neocons'.

You just keep clinging to your dream of a one party state, after all, all you do is complain about the evil 'libs'.
Why do you superimpose your dream on others? As you have already admitted, those who constantly criticize Republicans and conservatives, like yourself, fantasize about a one-party system.

Are you so disappointed I found you out? Tsk tsk.

And I don't ' constantly criticize Republicans and conservatives', unlike you, who constantly criticize Democrats and Liberals. While I think that more than two parties would be better in the US, At least with two parties flipping back and forth in power prevents any one party from doing too much and claiming too much power for themselves.

But hey! Your rants about 'lame Stream Media' and 'evil libs', as well as your desire to have constitutional limits on freedoms for those you don't like, well, your colors show. Keep dreaming of your one party system. I'm sure it makes you smile at night.

Agnostic atheist here, in support of the community center. And you won't find me [seriously] bitching about new Catholic church construction near playgrounds, either.

According to Fox, yes.

And does constantly spewing that label allow you sleep better at night and stuff?

I'm just at a loss as to why you seem to care so darn much about this particular matter. I suspect that it's a case of 'political correctness' gone horribly awry as it is so completely inconceivable you same people would be 'defending' a Catholic church (for instance) in the same manner had it been the one planning the same thing. Are any of you muslims? Atheists?


I'm funding it. Ducky Abdul-Fattah. It's worse than you thought. Let me allow our plan to finally be revealed:



That's right. The awesomeness of this shirt will be sold from the "prayer room of awesome wolves" to fund the creation of mall carts the world over so we can sell even more of these shirts.

Once that part of the plan is complete, we will reveal to the world that the awesomeness that is the wolf shirt is actually a gateway to convert everyone to our cause. What is that cause? It's not Islam. It's not Christianity. It's a much more sinister form of Terrorist Organization and you jack holes never saw it coming.

For soon, the whole planet, via the awesomeness of the wolf shirt, will all be shopping on QVC.

That's right, you pathetic infidels. You'll all own glass knickknacks, crappy knives and quarter sets. You'll be forced to buy velvet Elvis paintings and tacky fake gold jewelry. YOU WILL BE GIDDY WITH ANTICIPATION FOR THE NEXT FASHIONABLE DOILY LACE FLOWER PRINTED DRESS AND WILL NOT STOP ORDERING BREAKABLE CRAP UNTIL YOU HAVE ALL OF THE CARTOON CHARACTER WATCHES!

And once that is done, you will know us by our new name:

THE QVC HOMOSEXUAL FORCED-ABORTION COMMUNIST COLLECTIVE!

You cannot win. You cannot stop us. Try to stop our mosque and we'll just have yard sales in the suburbs to raise our cash. We are inevitable. We are invincible.

You are all caught up in your silly well poisoning religious tirades about what terrorists fund what, and yet we use your capitalist society against you. We will raise billions in our cause because no senior citizen can refuse such a shirt, and they will convert their families under threats of gumming their food at the table every meal.

You have been warned, pigs.

I'm not a "lefty" and I don't consider anyone a bigot simply for disagreeing with me, but when I see people express the view that Muslims as a whole are responsible for the September 11 attacks it occurs to me that they might be ignorant and bigoted.

I care because this is a matter involving the constitutional freedoms of American citizens. If people were protesting the construction of a Catholic church because of something that some fringe group of Catholic whack-jobs had done I would also come out in support of the church for the same constitutional reasons.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.
