“I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.” —George W. Bush
Now: The Weak and Capitulant.
“Let me be clear, as a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.”—B. Hussein Obama
From the Boston Herald:
“Not a word about Islam’s unique role in the events of 9/11, no acknowledging that a mosque near the site of the attack would be provocative or insensitive. Instead, merely a defense of Manhattan’s zoning regulations.”
