   Okay Bob has some good idea - especially stop sending money to other countries. And Kent has a good idea about taxing the rich. Or we could use Wraithkin’s idea of an end-user tax. This sounds like the best option. And cut out tax loop holes. And Nemesys wrote about securing our borders and taking efforts to fine those who hire illegal aliens. This also is needed.

   We also need to sacrifice some sacred cows.

   Why are the Muslims being shown as the victim?

   Yes give us our jobs back and let’s not make any payments. Let them try to collect.

   To fennec,

   My position is quite simple:

   The 14th Amendment was not written to assist people in this country illegally. Illegal immigrants simply should leave. Its original purpose was to help the African American former slaves. Crook is assuming Buck’s ancestors were illegal immigrants.

   Thus I feel Crook is the one expressing bigotry in their opinions. Buck was simply expressing the facts which will be shown in court in the very near future.

   Good message Steve. This message needs to go to all Americans. We do NOT need a Muslim culture center at this site.

    Hlp54: Actually I have read the Old Testament and the New Testament. In addition I am familiar with the beliefs of the groups you mentioned. Since you seem to not want this type of people in your neighborhood, I am wondering what type of neighborhood you live in or what are your religious beliefs.

    RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: According to our Constitution freedom of religion gives us the freedom to believe in a god of our choosing and the freedom to worship that god in the way we want. The only other element is the federal government is prohibited from establishing a state sponsored religion.

    Having or not having the Muslim building near the Twin Tower location is not a freedom of religion issue. The issue is does the building fit this neighborhood. Many people feel this would not be a good idea.
