There are also OVER 400 Mosques in NYC alone.

It's idiots like you who can't stand up for this country. We have always been "tolerant". But now WE can't place a manger in our own towns. I've been to the middle east. It's a known fact that the Muslims prefer to erect Mosques on important places, just like the towers. No shame on me, Shame on you. Don't give me your anti Muslim crap, either. I work with several. That's a catchphrase for anybody who doesn't agree with this Muslim debate, and it's a cop out.

The Feds gave them money to do upgrades on it. They decided to spend the money elsewhere. They also opted NOT to get flood insurance, which is just idiotic.

The US has bent over backwards trying to appease this group.

I'd sure like to know.

It's not up to the States to take care of them. Did you know that a full 50% of Hispanics use some form of Welfare in the US? If the Mexicans would as much effort into reforming their own government as they do in getting US's freebies, things would be a lot better. They drain the system, don't pay taxes.

Fair enough. However, it isn't health care "reform" as it is government run health care. That's what the trouble is. People want heath care reform, not government run health care. This is not about "reforming" health care at all. It is about government running the health care. This is a media word. If they said government run health care, it sounds less attractive. Same as "insurgents", it sounds more attractive than ;enemy" does.

The democrats are in power, and it still can't get though. One thing Obama needs to learn from all this is that the majority of Americans do not want government run health care. While something does need to be done about the outrageous cost of health care, the people have time and again seem the complete mess the government has made of out medicare, etc. And the people are getting tired of the blame game. You can't continually blame another without taking responsibility for your own agenda and the "now". Obama's biggest problem right now is that he trying to please everybody, and that just doesn't work.

None of them work, they contribute nothing positive to society at all, but take everything; including there own brother's lives.

Let me get this straight..... We're going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president that also hasn't read it, and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's nearly broke.

I don't think so. It's been 18 months since the flood. You have lived rent and utility free all those months. Be grateful for that. I have never seen a 1,500 2 bedroom apartment here in CR, and it is certainly not the average rent for a 2 bedroom, either!

What about the Cole, what about France, what about 9-11. It's not just one at all. It needs to be dealt with. Why we preach tolerance, they teach hate.
