You Hate America If You Are Against Park 51:
The Rude Pundit was not going to write about the Not-At-Ground-Zero Not-Just-A-Mosque again today. For, truly, there's a few more important things going on in the world, like, you know, the floods in Pakistan and that war you might not really remember in Afghanistan. But the complete fucktardation over the building of a Muslim organization's community center on a shitty block in the vicinity of the seedling of an office building that will be known as "the Freedom Tower" is another of those continuing demonstrations of what a bunch of simpletons fill the airwaves, streets, and legislative halls of this country.

Here's what GOP House candidate Ron McNeil said to schoolkids at a Panama City, Florida forum: "That religion is against everything America stands for. If we have to let them build it, make them build it nine stories underground, so we can walk above it as citizens and Christians."

For bonus points, another stupid fuck at the same event said, "If we were under Muslim law, you girls wouldn’t be sitting here showing any kind of skin. You would be in hot burqas and…you wouldn’t be sitting in school." It's like saying that if the Amish ran the joint, they wouldn't have iPhones. Again, this was to middle and high school kids being told by presumptive adults that they should hate Muslims.

Down the road, in Florida's 22nd District, a few months ago, Tea Party candidate Allen West (aka "Oh, God, Let This Black Guy Win So We Can Show We're Not Racist") hulked out over those hippie "Coexist" bumper stickers, saying that Islam is a "very vile and very vicious enemy that we have allowed to come in this country because we ride around with bumper stickers that say, 'Coexist.'" (Bonus points: he has been especially idiotic about Park 51.)

Let's bottom line this shit and then the Rude Pundit's done: You despise this country if you think the Cordoba Initiative should move its planned community center. You have no understanding of the Constitution. If fact, you are in opposition to it. You have no respect for freedom of religion or speech. You are a coward who believes that the Constitution and the nation are too fucking weak to handle such freedoms. If you're not one of the crass politicians seeking to exploit the simpletons for your gain or a ratings-whore on Fox, you are a vile, hate-filled, unprincipled lump of shit who thinks that rights are only good when convenient for you, and you are too fucking lazy to fight for anything other than your prejudice and hatred. That's easy, motherfucker.

But because the Rude Pundit does believe in principles and rights, he thinks it's nobody's fucking business (including the mythologized 9/11 families) where the damn thing's built. What's more, even though he thinks you're a knuckle-dragging yahoo, he'd defend to the end your right to yowl your imbecility through your facehole.
