Yes McCarthy has been proven correct. Too bad he was an idiot the way he went about his hunt for Communists. Much like the GOP leaders of today. Too bad most great conservative men shy away from public service in favor of business and family only to leave egotistical knuckleheads like Limbaugh, McCain, Palin, etc. with the reigns.
The Mosque near Ground Zero is still too early in the healing process and it's location should be last resort. Yes, Manhattan real estate is hard to come by, but not impossible. Scars are still fresh and no atonement or closure has occurred. Time has healed Pearl Harbor, and many attempts have been made to heal MMM not to mention their are no living descendants of MMM that knew victims of the tragedy personally as all generation overlapping has passed.
One thing I find interesting is the open minded socially liberal anti religionist view is usually too close minded to entertain what they dub as conspiracy theories.
Ten years ago I would laugh at theories some would profess. Funny how many of those now are common knowledge in the general public. For instance, ten years ago you would be a weirdo if you thought their was a large group of self professed socialists in the house of congress, now we have 70 self professed members of the S.P.A. It is now safer to come out of that closet, which to me seams like a dark day in American history.
Only accepting ideas that are politically correct, publicly accepted and popularly proven is what sounds close minded if you ask me.
I think time will continue to prove weirdo, supposedly far right wingers correct in these matters and the majority of others. I dont agree with how many of the righties voice opinion so abrasively, but I'll take it over the ambiguous speech of the left.
Badger made one point I liked, he explained that harder you try and change someone the more they will resist. I think this is why the lefties have been more successful as of late in media. They are more subtle and silver tongued making the new progressive/socialist thinking easier to swallow for the less decided masses.
Maybe it is intellectually fashionable to accept a mosque so near ground zero at this time, but it is ignorant to a very large group of victims still struggling with the aftermath of the tragedy. The appropriate time is years from now when the small children who lost father and mothers are ready to forgive. The time is when the islamic nations responsible seek forgiveness and make an approach toward restitution. The time is not yet when it is so easy to question the motive of the group seeking. I do think it is insensitive. And people have every right to be suspicious.
