Nancy Pelosi inspired Democrats attending the Democratic Convention on Wednesday, September 5, with the following mantra: "It's just plain wrong." This is the type of chant that Democrats love to repeat. Pelosi erroneously stated that Republicans are against the reproductive health of women! She used these words instead of the abortion word. I have this to say to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: "Ms. Pelosi, with all due respect, you are just plain wrong!" Many Republicans are against abortion, but abortion and reproductive health are two different and unrelated issues. Is it healthy to get an abortion? Are Republicans against women having healthy reproductive systems? This is either another false conspiracy theory or it is a deliberately misleading statement.
The Views Expressed by Liberal Democrats are "just plain wrong"
Liberal democrats believe that all of the ideals and values Republicans represent are "just plain wrong." Actually, what is "just plain wrong" is the prominent views of the Democratic party. Democrats simply do not understand the truth about many important issues. For instance, Tuesday's Democratic National Convention witnessed Democratic leaders boasting about the values and top political agendas favored by Democrats: abortion and gay marriage.
President Barack Obama is the First U.S. President to Publicly Support Gay Marriage
In fact, a point was made by one of the speakers at the Democratic Convention on Tuesday that Barack Obama is the first President of the United States of America to officially stand up for gay marriage. Yes, this is what Democrats offer to Americans: Let every woman have the right to get an abortion, and allow every gay man and woman to get married.
Agendas Professed by Democratic Leaders are not the Main Issues Facing Many Americans
These are evidently two of the most important issues represented by Democratic leaders at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. I'm sorry to inform Nancy Pelosi and those Democrats who agree with her unjustifiable diatribe that she, along with her fellow Democratic leaders, are all "just plain wrong" about Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan's plans to save America from economic disaster. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan understand the issues that are important to the majority of American voters, and these two Republican candidates offer Americans real hope for their futures.

Pelosi Substitutes Reproductive Health for Abortion
Nancy Pelosi, the House Minority Leader, had the audacity to say that Republicans fight against the reproductive health of women. Nancy Pelosi expressed this sentiment at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday. It is obvious that she was referring to abortion, but she did not have enough chutzpah to say the politically incorrect abortion word. Instead, Pelosi would have Americans believe the lie that Republicans want to damage the reproductive health of women.
Nancy Pelosi Must Get her Information from an Unknown Planet
I would like to ask Nancy Pelosi where she gets her information. It is news to me that women are protecting their reproductive organs when they have abortions. This is just one more lie stemming from the lips of Democrats at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. Truthfully, it is difficult to stomach the words that emanate from the mouths of some Democratic leaders.
Four More Years of Barack Obama's "Leadership" Means Four More Years of Unemployment for Many Americans
This is the bottom line: A vote for Barack Obama to reside in the Oval Office for "four more years" (another favorite Democratic mantra) is a vote in favor of abortion, gay marriage and unemployement. Serious American voters need to forget about Barack Obama sitting in the Oval Office for another four years. Americans need Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in the White House. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are more than capable of steering America in the right direction.

How To Create Your Own Home Landscaping Haven
Americans love the long, warm summer months and the opportunities they bring to spend more time with their families. The warm, sunny climate also brings new creative thoughts about designing backyards and creating beautiful gardens, and home owners can learn how to design landscaping havens in their own backyards. Home landscaping is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby, and home
owners who learn home landscaping skills also save a lot of money by not having
to hire professional landscapers.
Your local library can provide an ample introduction to home landscaping, and you can also find free, plentiful information online. The first thing to do is to read up on the subject in order to provide the needed introduction to home landscaping. After the introductory materials are read and comprehended, it is time to begin creating you own private landscaping sanctuary.

The first thing to do is to read up on the subject in order to provide the needed introduction to home landscaping. After the introductory materials are read and comprehended, it is time to begin creating you own private landscaping sanctuary.
You can collect ideas and designs from professional
landscapers, as well as from amateur landscapers, and then develop these
concepts into your own unique landscaping plan. It is easy to collect designs
and ideas when you study books, diagrams and illustrations. After you create your
home landscaping plan, the next step is setting up the home landscape. Is a
swimming pool in the master plan? If so, setting up the home landscape revolves
around the pool plan. Some home landscapers do not envision swimming pools in
their landscaping plans, but prefer to create a beautiful backyard waterfall or
pond instead.
Useful tips include the proper digging tools, and sowing
your plants after the watered area is installed, because there is a lot of
digging involved if a home owner decides to put in a pool, waterfall or pond.
More useful tips include landscaping a little bit at a time. A rush job is
likely to produce results that are not satisfactory. The homeowner also needs
to determine the method of irrigation, as this is crucial to the success of the
landscaping plan. Green irrigation is a newer method of irrigation that is
environmentally friendly, because green irrigation does not use more water than
the amount that is necessary to create the desired effect.
You can easily buy the required material to set up your
dream home landscape at a local store in your neighborhood or at an online
landscaping supply store. Buy the required material to set up your dream home
landscape at the store that offers the highest quality materials, as well as the
best prices.

When Will Obama Release Osama bin Laden Death Photos?
Barack Obama has declared that al Queda Leader and Muslim terrorist Osama bin Laden is dead, but it is somewhat disturbing that the proof of this historical event is being hidden from the American people and from the world. Americans have a right to see all photos, videos, and documents pertaining to Osama bin Laden's death. Many Americans want to see the photos. The families of those who were killed on 9/11 are asking President Obama to release the death photos of Osama bin Laden.
Nevertheless, U.S. President Barack Obama deserves respect and congratulations for accomplishing the demise of Osama bin Laden. Special thanks and appreciation go to the highly skilled U.S. Navy SEAL team, or Sea, Air and Land team, for their courageous storming of Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad, Pakistan compound. It should also be noted that President George W. Bush is the U.S. President who initiated the pursuit of Osama bin Laden during his presidency, and all Americans need to be grateful to him for his efforts and determination.
President Obama, the issue of not releasing photos depicting the death of al Queda leader and terrorist Osama bin Laden is not one of disbelief. It is the erroneous viewpoint that the U.S. President has the right to decide whether or not it is good or bad for Americans to see the evidence. Imagine a journalist who reports an extraordinary news story without showing any photos or documents. This journalist would not be respected and the journalist's credentials would be questioned. Barack Obama has greater authority than a journalist.
Osama bin Laden, the Muslim terrorist who perpetrated the atrocities on 9/11, is dead. This is a relief to many individuals. Osama bin Laden was responsible for the deaths of approximately 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. When journalists recently announced that Osama bin Laden was finally captured and killed, people expected to see photos. President Obama, please do the right thing and release the Osama bin Laden death photos without any further delay so that everyone can experience closure.

Legalization Of Marijuana Most Popular Question for Obama
On "Your Interview With The President," the YouTube site that has been set up for a live stream of President Barack Obama's 2011 State of the Union Address plus questions posed to Mr. Obama by YouTube participants, the number one question appears to be regarding the legalization and decriminalization of marijuana by the federal government. I doubt very much if President Barack Obama, as liberal as he is, would stoop so low on the liberal ladder as to legalize marijuana.
It is a bit disturbing that the most popular question on the YouTube site, "Your Interview With The President" is focused on the issue of legalizing marijuana, rather than on the more pressing issues of the day, such as the loss, and lack, of jobs, the economy, and America's national security. I trust and hope that YouTube is not an indication of the views of most Americans. I personally voted, along with the majority of Californians, against the legalization of marijuana when it appeared on the 2010 ballot. Even though the crime factor is a serious issue when it comes to street drugs, legalizing marijuana is not the answer.

GOP Pledge: People Grant Government Power
You can read the entire Republican (GOP) Pledge to America at http://pledge.gop.gov/. The pledge reminds Americans about the truths contained in the Declaration of Independence; the basic concept that the country of America is not just a country, but an idea. This idea focuses on the belief that people who are free have the ability to be self-governed, that self-governed people grant the government the right to have power, and that every person has been given the gifts of the right to live, the right to experience freedom and the right to pursue happiness.
The GOP Pledge to America, which is a great read, goes on to say that the Republican party pledges to respect and value family life and traditional marriage, and to be good and truthful stewards to the American people. You can read the entire pledge, and also watch the Pledge to America Preamble, a You Tube video of A Pledge to America, here:
http://pledge.gop.gov/
I highly recommend that every conservative man and woman read the GOP Pledge to America. The GOP pledge is an excellent summary of what it is that Republicans believe, and wish to proclaim, to America and to the entire world.

JFK/Kennedy Assassination Mourned by Americans
Today, November 22, 2010, marks the 47th anniversary of President John ("Jack") Fitzgerald Kennedy's (JFK's) assassination. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. JFK was the 35th President of the United States of America. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy's untimely and unexpected death was a huge shock to all Americans, who deeply mourned his loss.
The beloved American President John F. ("Jack") Kennedy was assassinated on the November 22, 1963, at the young age of 46. The young and handsome President John F. Kennedy, with his cultured and beautiful wife, First Lady Jacqueline ("Jackie") Bouvier Kennedy, are commonly called the rulers of Camelot, because the American public idolized them as if they were a king and queen of a kingdom. The shock of President John F. Kennedy's unexpected and untimely death was almost too much for many Americans to bear.
Although President John F. Kennedy was officially a Democrat, there are some conservatives today who do not believe that President John F. Kennedy was a true liberal. The reason for this belief is due to the fact that the basic tenets of the Democratic party have become a great deal more liberal since the era in which John F. Kennedy was the U.S. President.
President John F. Kennedy's assassination is cloaked with various conspiracy theories. Did Lee Harvey Oswald really assassinate President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, or was Kennedy's death the result of some strange, secret plot? If you want to know the truth about JFK's assassination, check out The Kennedy Assassination by John McAdams. John McAdams debunks the conspiracy theories, myths and hoaxes surrounding the President John F. Kennedy's untimely death by assassination.

Conspiracy Theories: Why People Believe In Hoaxes and Myths
Why do people want to believe in conspiracy theories, hoaxes and myths like the 9/11 conspiracy theory and the FEMA Concentration Camp myths? Is a theory a fact? Is a legend the truth? Is mythology reality? Is a myth real or make-believe? The truth is that truthers (those who choose to believe in hoaxes) are as far away from the truth as people can possibly get. American truthers think they have all of the answers. American truthers choose to believe in conspiracy theories against the American government, and against America, especially when conservative Republicans are in the majority of governmental leadership positions.
Why do some people prefer to believe in ridiculous theories that people who have common sense recognize as being lies? Truthers choose to believe in myths because they do not have any true respect for truth, but prefer to believe in lies and falsehood. Truthers believe that a lie (myth, hoax, or conspiracy theory) is the truth. Some truthers have accused me of trying to brainwash the public, but the truth is that if any brainwashing is going on, it is the conspiracy theorists, in whom truthers have put their trust, that are the guilty ones.
If you believe in a conspiracy theory, you may as well also believe in occult teachings. Maybe you already do believe in the supernatural realms of the occult. Legends are legends, and truth is truth. A theory is a theory and a fact is a fact. This is the truth about 9/11 conspiracy theories and the FEMA Concentration Camp Hoax: they are both lies, myths, hoaxes, or conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theorists want to steal your common sense away from you. If you value your own ability to think for yourself, do not believe in conspiracy theories, myths or hoaxes.

Veterans Day: A History Of Military Honor
The history of Veterans Day is clearly explained in this publication. Veterans Day is an annual Federal Holiday, set aside to honor United States military veterans. Veterans Day is an annual Federal Holiday that is celebrated in America every year on November 11, for the sole purpose of honoring and celebrating United States military veterans who are alive, and also United States military veterans who have died.
Veterans Day is a day when Americans can show their patriotic love for America in the simple gesture of displaying American flags on their front lawns for all people to see. How is Veterans Day different from Memorial Day? According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, many Americans are confused about the meaning of these two national holidays. Also, there are Americans who do not know the reason why Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11th every year. In other words, many Americans are not familiar with the history of Veterans Day.
Here is a little bit of history about Veterans Day, in the hopes that the reasons for celebrating these two national United States annual holidays, Veterans Day, and Memorial Day, will be clearly understood:
Veterans Day was previously known as Armistice Day. The legal holiday known as Armistice Day was created to celebrate the end of World War I. World War I ended on November 11, 1918. The Act of 1938 was passed on November 11, 1938. Armistice Day was "'dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" 1 Armistice Day paid tribute to veterans of World War I.
After the end of World War II and the Korean War, various Veterans organizations asked the 83rd U.S. Congress to amend the Act of 1938, by substituting the word "Veterans" for the word "Armistice." This legislation was approved on June 1, 1954. The original date of Armistice Day, November 11, was kept, and, to this day, Veterans Day, which is an annual holiday celebrated every year on November 11, is the day Americans take the time to remember and honor all American Veterans who served in any war.
Memorial Day honors servicemembers who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle. Deceased veterans are also remembered on Veterans Day but the day is set aside to thank and honor living veterans who served honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime.
Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s letter to Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs, designating him Chairman, Veterans Day National Committee:
Memorial Day remembers and honors military members who have died in service to America, or died due to war injuries. Although military members who have died in service to America are also honored on Veterans Day, the main purpose of Veterans Day is to honor and thank military veterans who are still living. Veterans Day also honors all military veterans who served America in the military, whether in times of war or in times of peace.
Veterans Day is not just an annual Federal Holiday in which some people receive a day off from their jobs. Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, has a purpose. Please remember to take a few moments during the day to remember those brave military veterans who willingly sacrifice their lives in order to protect Americans and America. Veterans Day is a day to wave your American flags and show your patriotism.

October 8, 1954
Dear Mr. Higley:
I have today signed a proclamation calling upon all of our citizens to observe Thursday, November 11, 1954 as Veterans Day. It is my earnest hope that all veterans, their organizations, and the entire citizenry will join hands to insure proper and widespread observance of this day. With the thought that it will be most helpful to coordinate the planning, I am suggesting the formation of a Veterans Day National Committee. In view of your great personal interest as well as your official responsibilities, I have designated you to serve as Chairman. You may include in the Committee membership such other persons as you desire to select and I am requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch to assist the Committee in its work in every way possible.
I have every confidence that our Nation will respond wholeheartedly in the appropriate observance of Veterans Day, 1954.
Sincerely,
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER 1

Marines Guard Heaven's Streets on 235th Birthday
Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! Marines, proud members of The United States Marine Corps, or USMC, celebrate their 235th birthday today, Wednesday, November 10, 2010.
You are invited to celebrate the Marine Corps' 235th birthday at the Marine Corps' official ball. The Commandant of the Marine Corps is inviting the general public to officially celebrate the Marine Corps' 235th birthday. The United States Marine Corps' 235th Happy Birthday Celebration will be this coming Saturday, November 13, 2010 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. This is the Marine Corps' official ball, and everyone is invited. For more information, please click Commandant's Marine Corps Birthday Ball. If you are unable to attend the Marine Corps' 235th birthday ball, please contact your local Marine Corps' unit to find out if there will be a birthday celebration in your area.
The Marine Corps began on November 10, 1775, when the Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to pass a resolution which stated: "'two Battalions of Marines be raised' for service as landing forces with the fleet." The Continental Marines were established with this resolution. These Marines served on both land and sea. The Continental Marines ended after the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783. The Marine Corps was established again on July 11, 1798. The Marines often fought against Barbary Pirates along "the Shores of Tripoli." The United States Marine Corps has protected America throughout its long and honorable history. 1

The "Marines' Hymn" has been widely used since the mid-1800's, but the "Marines' Hymn" did not become the official hymn of the Marine Corps until 1929. The writer of The Marines' Hymn remains anonymous to this day. There is a bit of a controversy as to who actually wrote the hymn. According to Heritage Press International -- History of the Marines' Hymn, Col. A. S. McLemore, USMC, spent years trying to discover who wrote "The Marines' Hymn." Finally, in 1878, Col. McLemore told the Marine Band leader that he believed the hymn had been adopted from Jacques Offenbach's operetta "Genevieve de Brabant." However, other people think the hymn was derived from a Spanish folk tune. 2
Lyrics to the famous "Marines' Hymn"
From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of UNITED STATES MARINES.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze,
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job --
The UNITED STATES MARINES.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By UNITED STATES MARINES. 2

If there is any truth to the lyrics in The "Marines' Hymn," regarding the sentiment that Marines even guard Heaven's streets, then I am glad to know I can depend on the Marines to keep me safe!

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze,
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job --
The UNITED STATES MARINES.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By UNITED STATES MARINES. 2

FEMA Concentration Camps in America: Myths, Hoaxes and Lies
FEMA Concentration Camps or FEMA Death Camps in America are myths. The FEMA Concentration Camps Hoax is another Conspiracy Theory. Here is the real Truth: there are no FEMA Concentration Camps in America. Neither are there any FEMA Death Camps in America. America does not have FEMA Concentration Camps. America does not have FEMA Death Camps. Experts have already debunked this conspiracy theory. Yes, debunking conspiracy theories such as the FEMA Concentration Camps myth is the job of expert debunkers.
Do you believe the FEMA Concentration Camps myth, hoax, conspiracy theory or lie (whatever name you choose to call it)? If so, your mind has really been brainwashed by conspiracy theorists. Yes, you have fallen prey to exactly what conspiracy theorists desire: your mind. I have said it before, and I will say it again: there are no FEMA Death Camps or FEMA Concentration Camps anywhere in America. Look at the real evidence and stop believing in myths and hoaxes. The falsehood of these myths and hoaxes has been exposed by expert debunkers who specialize in debunking conspiracy theories.
Here is a real warning for those of you who have become involved with Neo-Nazis and/or Truthers. Truthers choose to believe in AMERICAN FEMA DEATH CAMP FAIRY TALES, but refuse to believe in REAL HISTORICAL HOLOCAUST DEATH CAMPS LIKE AUSCHWITZ. If you have identified yourself with neo-Nazi groups or Truthers, get a grip on reality before it's too late. Your mind is in danger of being lost forever in the dangerous realms of conspiracy theorists, neo-Nazi Holocaust Revisionists, anti-Semitic groups, and political supporters of Ron Paul. FEMA Concentration Camps do NOT exist in America. FEMA Concentrations Camps in America are myths that have been debunked by the experts. *See my "Dig Deeper" Post Below. There is no evidence supporting the hoax of FEMA Death Camps because the whole idea is a hoax.
Are you a skinhead? Yes, you -- you know who you are. You are guilty of anti-Semitism and you belong to a group of people known as deniers. Holocaust deniers deny that the Holocaust really occurred, yet believe in American Fema Death Camps. This is a twisted philosophy that seeps its way into your soul and corrupts it before you even realize what has happened. You are lost. Get away from truthers, neo-Nazis and Ron Paul groupies quickly -- RUN! RUN away as fast as you can, before you no longer have the ability to think for yourself. Do not believe in myths and hoaxes. Do not believe in conspiracy theories, because many conspiracy theories, including the FEMA Concentration Camps or FEMA Death Camps conspiracy theory, have already been debunked by experts. Do NOT allow conspiracy theorists to meddle with your mind.

Inspirational and Patriotic Song/Video "I'm an American" Inspires All People
John Schwarzman's inspirational, patriotic song and video entitled "I'm an American" expresses the feelings many Americans, especially conservative Americans, have about the wrong direction America seems to be taking at the present time. If you are a patriotic and conservative American who loves America, you will be emotionally moved in a big way, as I was, by this amazing song and video. I have been in contact with John Schwarzman regarding his song/video "I'm an American." John recently wrote to me via email asking me if I would be willing to check out his new song/video on You Tube.
I did check out "I'm an American," and I can honestly tell you that this song/video is absolutely awesome beyond any words I can think of writing. I like the song immensely. No, I love the song immensely. I have listened to, and watched, the extremely inspirational and patriotic song/video "I'm an American" over a dozen times since I received John's initial email and link on September 28, 2010. This song is music at its best; it resonates with the minds and hearts of its listeners.
"I'm an American" is the kind of song a person never gets tired of hearing. The words are remarkable, and the melody is the kind of memorable tune that causes people to hum it during the day. All of this has been accomplished by one man, John Schwarzman, a man who describes himself as being a "spare bedroom guitar player," who mentioned these words to me: "I have never written an actual song before." This is quite remarkable.
Why did John Schwarzman write "I'm an American?" A truck driver told him that someone should write a song that describes how Americans are feeling about the wrong direction in which America is heading, and John decided to give it a go himself. John found and hired musicians and a studio. John also found the singer, Todd Googins, who is a phenomenal talent in his own right. Todd Googins' moving rendition and performance brings "I'm an American" to an even greater level of appreciation by the listening and viewing audience.
John Schwarzman mentioned to me the following: "All I want is to be a one-hit wonder if this can be my hit!" I wish John the best of luck in this endeavor. I hope "I'm an American" will be brought into every home in America and around the world, because John's song deserves to be recognized not only by Americans, but by everyone who loves America.
John, I want to tell you this: Your song and video "I'm an American" is already a huge HIT in the minds and hearts of many people who have already had the good fortune to hear and see this song/video. There is one word I can think of to describe "I'm an American" and the word is "Wow!" Wow, John Schwarzman, you rock!
Your song is amazing. You should be so very proud of your accomplishment. It isn't everyday that someone writes a song as great as "I'm an American." You are a good and humble man who has taken the time to listen to your heart. Your story is an inspiring example to me and to people everywhere. I wish you the best, John!

Religious Intolerance VS Righteous Anger: Imam Rauf's Ground Zero Mosque
The following article regarding 36 religious leaders, Muslim Imam Rauf, and Imam Rauf's plans to build a Muslim mosque, or Cordoba Cultural Center, near New York City's Ground Zero, was originally written and published on Wednesday, September 8, 2010.
Thirty-six religious leaders representing Christians, Jews, and Muslims met in Washington D.C. on Tuesday night, having responded to an invitation of the Islamic Society of North America.The sentiments expressed by these 36 religious leaders, in regards to the majority of Americans who are protesting plans to build a Muslim mosque near Ground Zero, is that these Americans are bigoted and guilty of religious intolerance. Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, a Roman Catholic archbishop, asserted that protests concerning the building of a Muslim mosque near Ground Zero are "not American."
Those of you who are familiar with my published writings know that I am against religious intolerance. As a matter of fact, I have written and published several articles about tolerance vs. intolerance. For example, I fully supported former Republican Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a Mormon (Latter-Day Saint), when he was campaigning for United States President during the 2008 Presidential Election. I outspokenly criticized those, including some (not all) born again Christians, who refused to support Mitt Romney solely because of his religious beliefs.
I don't like religious intolerance of any kind. For this reason, I don't use my words to bash all Muslim believers. In fact, whenever I have written, or continue to write, about Islam, my emphasis and focus has been, and is, on fanatical Muslim views as they relate to Muslim or Islamic (Jihadist) terrorists and terrorism. Consequently, I am appalled at the extent that certain prominent religious leaders have taken in order to support the plans to build a Muslim mosque near New York's Ground Zero.
In the meantime, it turns out that a Muslim imam is behind the building of the Ground Zero Mosque. Previously, news reports indicated that Muslim businessmen are responsible for the idea. But Feisal Abdul Rauf is the man, the Muslim imam, behind the plan to construct a Muslim mosque near New York City's ground zero. You can read what Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf wrote in a recently published New York Time's Op-Ed Opinion article entitled "Building on Faith."
Among other things, the Imam Rauf states that the plans are to build a community center called Cordoba House, in which there will be designated prayer areas for Muslims, Jews, Christians, and those of other religious persuasions. Feisal calls this a "multifaith, multinational effort." Plans are to include a include a "multifaith memorial dedicated to victims of the Sept. 11 attacks."
The problem is this: When you read Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's "Building on Faith" statement, there is no mention as to why the Cordoba House needs to be built near Ground Zero, as opposed to some other less controversial location. With all due respect to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's well-written New York Time's Op-Ed article, is the Cordoba House concept just one more attempt, very cleverly disguised in seemingly spiritual words and garb, at the Islamization of America?
According to Imam Rauf, construction of the Cordoba House has not yet begun. Let those of us who are tolerant conservatives pray that this attempt to ingrain Muslim tenets ever more deeply into American society will not succeed.
Imam Rauf's seemingly religious, spiritual, intelligent, and caring words do not fully indicate the rationale behind the idea to build a Muslim mosque, or Muslim-based community center, in America, near Ground Zero, where over 3,000 innocent Americans were murdered by Muslim terrorists on September 11, 2001. The true and underlying motives and reasons need to be understood in greater depth.

Catholic Cardinal Says Protests Against Ground Zero Mosque are "Not American"
Religious intolerance are key words that express the views of 36 religious leaders regarding the construction of a Muslim mosque near Ground Zero. Religious leaders representing Jews, Roman Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, and Muslims met in Washington D.C. on Tuesday night, one night before the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, at the invitation of the Islamic Society of North America.
Certain religious leaders have voiced their opinions that anyone who is against the construction of a Muslim mosque near Ground Zero is tantamount to being a Nazi. The religious leaders did not actually use the word "Nazis" or "Hitler," but the implication is definitely present when you read the religious leaders' comments about the Ground Zero Muslim mosque, even going so far as Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick's assertion that any protest about the building of a Muslim mosque near Ground Zero is not American.
