I would not support this, unless the gay bar is constructed right next to it, in the name of tolerance of course.

most of the people don't care if you build a gay bar next door for the exact same reasons that they don't care if they build the mosque.  If they do care though then they are trying to have it both ways, and that is wrong.

It's not so much the fact that it's two blocks away from Ground Zero that irks me. They can build it right next to Ground Zero, for all I care. It's the fact that they are deliberately placing it two blocks from Ground Zero, and even worse, that Obama actually comments on this and has the audacity to approve of it.

It seems to me as though the sole purpose of this move is to annoy people and shove individual rights in everyone's face. Obama is approving of it in a feeble attempt to make the Middle East like him.

No,

so what are you saying?  That we should legislate sensitivity and intention?   Sorry but if you do that you're opening a whole bag of shit.  If they truly are making the mosque just to piss us off then i don't support the reason, but i completely support the freedom (as Obama said, he is supporting the freedom, you are making it out to be that he is just supporting muslims, he would do the same for any religion).  Muslims have to deal with people drawing Muhammad all over the place just for the purpose of pissing them off.  They can be against it but it is protected speech as it should be.   Putting a gay bar next to a mosque is insensitive but it is also protected for the exact same reasons.   Racist speech is insensitive but it is protected, these are all very important freedoms.

Alright, if I rephrased it  to "This is equivalent to the US building a Japanese shrine at Pearl Harbor after the end of World War 2," then would I still get the same racism charge?

It is well known that Hirohito was on the same level of influence of Hitler and Mussolini. Like Hitler and Mussolini, Hirohito embodied the Japanese people just as Hitler embodied the Germans and Mussolini embodied the Italians during their reign of power.

Yes, what I have said can and has been construed as racist. Well, I apologize for invoking Hirohito's name. I am not racist and never mean my comments to be construed as such. However, with a topic as heated as this, I sometimes have emotional, knee-jerk reactions just like everyone else.

If anything, we should put the whole 9/11 memorial Mosque up for a vote through the families of those 3,000 who died on 9/11. I am willing to bet that it would be voted down by a margin of 3 to 1.

you can't put constitutional rights up for vote, same deal as gay marriage.  It doesn't matter if 100% of the people are against it. 

No one has a right to marry just as no one has a right to drive. Rights don't requires licenses and both marriage and drivers licenses are the authority of each individual State. This is why some States allow Gay Marriage, others do not, and all States have similar but differing drivers license requirements. For example, Oregon requires an authentic US birth certificate to give out and renew driver's licenses, while Utah does not have the US birth certificate requirement.

As for the Mosque, I was asking a rhetorical question. Yes I am against it personally, but I do recognize it is 2 city blocks away from the WTC site and if this Islamic group has bought the land, then they have every US Constitutional right to build it.

Now, if the land where the Mosque will be built is owned by the City of New York, the Port or some other governmental entity, then whether it can be built could and should be put up for a vote.

well yeah if you are talking about public land obviously it would be put up for vote, this is private land, different case.

The government can't discriminate against a certain group like gay marriage, that is why the law was struck down as unconstitutional.  You can have different laws in each state, but they have to be (or are supposed to be) under equal rights protection.  Different driving requirements is irrelevent, that is an across the board issue, they don't discriminate for no reason like they do with gays. 

Actually you can with 66% of the vote. Even freedom of religion and speech can be reverse as the Constitution was design that way. The Constitution was never intended to be  like the Ten Commandment , voice of God.
