The constitution is in place to protect the Majority from the Minority (the minority being the elected officials). The reason the Constitution works is because of that reason so no it is not the other way around. Throughout history the voice of the people has always gone in line with what was right for America far more than the voice of the elected officials. So I say again if the people overwhelmingly oppose the building of that mosque then that trumpts a minorities freedom of speech right because the freedom of speech of the masses has spoken. It seems like simple math to me.Comment

America is a Constitutional Republic, so the constitution is in place to limit the power of the government so that if the higher powers were against the masque being built they can't do anything to stop them.

Bloomberg doesn't even care where the money comes from for this Mosque.

The site they want to build the mosque is next to a bar called the Dakota Roadhouse. Tons 9/11 construction workers frequent this place. I'm not sure they would be too kind to the worshipers going in and out of there if/when they were to build it.
A fun fact about the Dakota is that they slip in a screen of porn on there TVs. So if you are watching a show, for a split second you would see an image of penetration. When I first saw this I was like..."did I just see what I think I did?" LOL
Not the most optimal spot for a mosque IMOComment

Josh, what Bloomberg is doing is translating the seperation of church and state laws. The goverment is not allowed to ask any religous charter about their funds, incoming or outgoing. Was that you that also took a single soundbyte of Obama saying "my muslim faith" and turn it into a big gotcha moment. When you take the entire sentence into account it is alot less of a gotcha moment!Originally posted by joshh View PostBloomberg doesn't even care where the money comes from for this Mosque.

A trustee failing to obtain market value for estate property seems like a clear case of breach of fiduciary duty.
New York Post
September 5, 2010
The original owners of the Ground Zero mosque site mysteriously spurned dozens of higher bids before selling the prime downtown real estate at a bargain-basement price.
The Pomerantz family, which had owned the building since the late 1960s and fielded offers after the patriarch died in 2006, rejected at least one bid that was nearly four times what prospective mosque builder Sharif El-Gamal eventually paid, The Post has learned.
El-Gamal did offer what could be viewed as a sweetener to his $4.8 million bid in July 2009 –– a job as a property manager for a son of the family, Sethian Pomerantz.
'TEARDROP' MAY FALL
New York developer Kevin Glodek was livid when he found out the building sold for a fraction of what he offered in 2007 –– $18 million cash –– and wondered whether money changed hands under the table, according to sources close to the deal.
Glodek and his partners wanted to build a 60-story condo tower with retail space on the Park Place site, had inked a purchase agreement and even had keys to the existing building, according to sources and documents obtained by The Post.
But Kukiko Mitani –– whose late husband, Stephen Pomerantz, owned the property –– and her brother-in-law, Melvin Pomerantz, a trustee to the estate, went silent at the end of 2007 and Glodek's deal disappeared, sources said.
Glodek, who owns the ChefsDiet food delivery service and several Manhattan properties, declined to comment.
The property is now at the heart of one of the most divisive issues in the country –– whether it should be the location of a $100 million mosque and community center. The location two blocks from Ground Zero has been called insensitive, and questions have been raised about whether extremists will help fund the project. Recent polls show that 70 percent of New Yorkers want it moved.
El-Gamal had his eye on the property for years before buying it in 2009.
He was not alone in his interest, with some 30 offers showered on the Pomerantz family in what was an overheated downtown real-estate market in 2007, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.
Yet Mitani previously told The Post the building, a former Burlington Coat Factory store that was damaged in the 9/11 attacks, was a tough sell. She said she was in debt and desperate to unload it after her husband's death and insisted she had no buyers other than El-Gamal.
Some of the offers were a mere flash in the pan, but others were legitimate, including a $17 million cash deal from one developer, the source said.
The attraction in this hot market was buying real estate that could be demolished, the source said. A second downtown mosque, not affiliated with El-Gamal, considered spending $18 million for 45-47 Park Place in early 2008.
But the Pomerantz family –– for reasons that remain unclear –– rejected the offers.
They took 70 percent less from El-Gamal than what Glodek offered.

And this is further proof that Liberals are putting this country in serious trouble. If the Mosque was entirely funded by Hamas you'd be okay with that?
