The President Was Correct When He Said They Have The “Right” To Build a Mosque Near Ground Zero.

However, decency must accompany those rights. Our rights allow us to be offensive to anyone at anytime, but common decency keeps us from such destructive behavior.

Building a Mosque on the very grounds where 19 fanatic Muslims killed nearly three thousand people in their quest to follow the teachings they learned in a mosque is terribly offensive and lacks any shred of common decency or respect for the loss this country and those families experienced that horrible day.

And what is worse, our president has the gall to say he will not comment on the wisdom of building a mosque near Ground Zero. He won’t comment!? As the President of the United States of America, he should be the first to comment and be the leader of this great nation, but instead he choose to remain silent. He shrank from his duty to lead us in our time of need. That is just cowardice and America deserves better. I will comment on the wisdom of ignoring all common decency and completely disrespecting the loss of 3,000 innocent lives. It is wrong! It should not be done and shame on those who are trying to make it happen. It rubs salt in a healing wound and does nothing to bring peace or reconciliation. If that mosque is built, it will stand as a monument to the Muslim hijackers that brought misery to an entire nation. It will not be a triumph of tolerance or an exercise of American rights. It will be a constant reminder of what and who caused our pain that day. One of the most basic lessons of freedom is, “Just because you have a right to do something, doesn’t mean you should.” There has never been an more appropriate time to exercise this discretion.
