UPDATE: CROSSWINDS AT GROUND ZERO

August 18, 2010

Speaking of Nancy Pelosi, she has now weighed in on an aspect of locating the mosque at Ground Zero.  The implication of her statement is that bigots who are trying to stir up other bigots should be investigated and that thoughtful non-bigots like herself should remain unconcerned with the affront.  It’s one thing to be aware that there is nothing which can or should be done through the law to prevent this provocative action.  It is quite another to wonder about “who is funding” this “issue.”  It is a legitmate and newsworthy story which really doesn’t need a lot of “funding” if an active press, much of it New York based, pursues it.  Also, what the heck is this Treasure Island that she talking about  that is so much more newsworthy? 

I’m pretty sure that if this mosque ever gets located at Ground Zero she’ll be blaming the groundswell of anger on the people who are angry hoping for anti-Islamic violence which she can tear up about and use to justify some sort of restrictive legislative action!!!!  What of her former concern about stirring up a climate in which “violence occurs?” She is just plain out of touch with reality as well as flyover Americans.
