While I am of two minds on the broughhaha over the siting of Mosque near the WTC site, I have a suggestion to make for those folks who are most affected.

If the people of New York really want to protest the building of a Mosque near the WTC site, they have to do something that will really really make an impact. Mass protests will not. Violence will not do enough of the job (and, to be honest, would be quite wrong).

A good idea for them is to have a list of those firms which bid on, and accept the various construction jobs in the building of the Mosque….Publish that list. Any carpentry firm which chooses to work on the Mosque should face penalties. They should be protested, and any other potential building project should exclude them from the list of potential bidders. Same goes for any ironwork, masonry work, electrical work, telephone/communication work, painters, drywallers, plumbers, etc. In fact, the trade unions should strongly suggest (with all that that implies in New York!) to their members that they should refuse to work in the place. Any firm which chooses to employ them after they begin work on the Mosque should be protested as well. Drive those who would aid and abet this insult out of business. If they cannot get, or find it difficult to find, anyone licensed to do the work, then this will make the project untenable. But this means that those who choose to do the work must fear the consequences of choosing to do so, and must fear the repercussions….

This too is constitutionally acceptable. And if the people of New York really care enough, they can make this happen. No violence, no mass protest, nothing but dissuading those who woukld do the work to renovate/construct the Mosque. Even if there were enough firms which would take the chance, if enough union members would refuse to work on it, it would keep the Mosque from being built. All it takes is the courage to take a stand.
There are those who have said that the will of the people should be followed. I disagree. Currently the Mosque is legal, and therefore it should be allowed to be built AS FAR AS ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY IS CONCERNED. The prevention of the mosque from being built by any government agency opens the path to a very slippery slope. We are, after all, a nation of laws….and those laws should be followed, even when such a project as this is unpopular. But this does not mean that a project in such bad taste, nor as insulting to those folks living in the area should not have it’s roadblocks.

If this solution were followed, no firm would DARE to bid on any part of the project, and no workers (union or not) would dare to work at the site……Therfore, no builing or renovation would take place

Were I you, I’d read it.

Crack Cocaine, that is…

Seems that Crack, which has destroyed poorer neighborhoods ….a disproportionately higher number of black
neighborhoods…..and a higher number of black citizens are arrested for possession than any other race…..

So what is the solution? Reduce the penalty for possession of crack….

Yeah, that’ll help/ It’ll keep fewer black folks (and, lets face it, fewer of everyone) from being tossed in prison….But IT WON”T HELP THE DRUG PROBLEM.

Gotta keep the racial balance and all that….Fools.

Until, of course, after the elections.

Make no mistake, the left, and Holder are playing for keeps. The justice department (not capitalized for a reason) wants to keep this until things are settled after the election. Having the law held in abeyance will help them in the polls. And they know they need all the help they can get.

Dirty pool, but legal. And the court says that “the only effect of the district court’s injunction in this case is to preserve a status quo that has existed for a long period of time.”….IN other words…We like it they way it is, and we don’t see an immediate need to change things.

What happens to the governor, and her LEOs if she decides to tell the court to go piss up a rope and begins following the law as it is enacted? Would the feds really be willing to push the issue enough to arrest her? It would bring the issue to a boil even faster….Wonder if she has the guts?

Personnel will be assigned to Chelsea’s wedding?

I mean, It’s Bill Clinton gonna be there…..How many SS agents will it take to keep him from doing something stupid with one of her bridesmaids?

I have unconfirmed reports that the wedding invitations requested “No blue dresses”. Also, reports are that people are discouraged from standing between Bill and Hillary, for fear that they will freeze to death….

Seriously:
My best wishes to Chelsea and Marc…..

Told ya they’d keep trying.

However: I see this as good news….It means that at least someone in the government must think that the AZ law sill be upheld, despite the activist judge who put a hold on it until it is adjudicated by a court……and, of course, the myriad appeals which will follow….(seriously, while her arguments were stupid and poorly thought out, I think that she had good reason to put a stay on the law until it IS reviewed by a court) ….if they didn’t feel that it would be upheld, then they wouldn’t be making contingency plans to get around the resultant issues.

So I see this as good news. My thought is that the Administration and the DNC (but I repeat myself) are just hoping that this is held off until after the elections before there is any decision.
