So, this ground zero mosque thing.......

 

Some of the people supporting the construction of it, are pulling out all the stops with regards to the Constitution. Saying that there is no middle ground. Either you support it, or don't. Any waivering on the issue is against the 1A.

 

Yet, when people are this steadfast in supporting the 2A, they're labels as *nuts*.

 

*sigh*

Yeah, politics are a circus like that.

 

And if you think it's bad for the 1st and 2nd, just look at how most people who support the 4th and 5th are called "cop haters"

Yeah, somehow the 2A became the unpopular kid of the bill of rights. If you support it to the clear, unabiguous wording that it actually contains, then you're a nut.

 

I will refrain from hijacking this thread to discuss the mosque.

Yup, people defend the Constitution the way they defend court decisions. If they agree with them then it is law, if not then it is up for interpretation still. Every one is all about the Constitutional rights of the people that want the mosque built, but what about the 1st Amendment rights for those that oppose the mosque? I personally don't care if it is built or not, I do however support their right to build it and the rights of the people that are against it to protest it. The mosque isn't a Constitutional issue, I don't see why politicians and the media keep bringing that into the.....what a minute! Could it be that the media is a ratings whore and there is an election coming up so the politicians are stirring up a non-issue under the guise of it being a Constitutional issue to rally support. Nah that would be just crazy. It must have just been a misunderstanding somewhere.

There have been a few politicians, the guy who is running for governor in NY against Cuomo comes immediately to mind, who have pledged that they will do anything and everything to block the center being built.
