Politics, Aside.

Obviously, this blog is intended for simple musings and lighthearted fun. I don't want to make political statements that would divide people and take sides. I'm not trying to upset anyone, or degrade their views and beliefs, and I would certainly hate if someone didn't read all the other nonsense I am likely to post, just because I don't share their political ideology.

It is because of that, that I wouldn't want to say... that a Burlington Coat Factory, two blocks away from Ground Zero, is hardly hallowed ground.

I wouldn't want to say... claiming that building an Islamic Cultural Center two blocks away from Ground Zero would empower the terrorists, is ridiculous, if only because we have no idea what terrorists are thinking, seeing as we haven't been able to catch them in 9 years.

I wouldn't want to say... that there are plans to build a pool in the Islamic Cultural Center, clearly not for families and children to enjoy each others company in a safe place, but obviously so that terrorist can train at the pool facility in preparation for their amphibious assault on the United States.

I wouldn't want to point out... that Laura Ingraham had no problem with the Mosque building back in December 2009, of course I understand that she doesn't speak solely for the Right... she also speaks for President Obama.

I wouldn't want to mention... that we are full swing into campaign season and support for a "Ground Zero Mosque" doesn't look so good when spewing out of the mouths of fear mongering political commentators.

I wouldn't want to show you this... because you might actually see the massive hypocrisy that exists in the "fair and balanced" news.

I wouldn't want to point out... that 18% of Americans now believe President Obama is Muslim and 30% believe he is non-Christian, even though he wrote a pretty good book describing the role of Christian faith in his life. On that point, why would it matter if the President were Muslim? Glenn Beck is a Mormon, lots of people watch him.

I wouldn't want to make insulting remarks like... I guess you can't expect sheep to eat anything other than what you feed them.

I would hate to point out... that you can not claim to want to restore the "original principles of the US Constitution", and attack religious freedom is the same breath. How does a party that claims to be pro-Constitution, misrepresent the first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth amendments to it?

So I won't.

Thats why my next blog is going to be...

"The 5 TV and Movie Characters I Want To Be... With."
