So Utterly Predictable

Barack Hussein Obama interjects himself gratuitously into a New York affair and comes out in favor of constructing the Ground Zero mosque. Hussein Obama is hailed by the usual Leftist amen circle of media as principled and courageous for standing for the First Amendment and "religious freedom". It is curious to me that a leader who has backed down and away from all our foundational rights to this point has suddenly become a champion of the Constitution. Until now, Hussein Obama had been de-emphasizing "religious freedom" and supplanting "freedom of worship" in its place- a distinction with a deep difference. In Obama's new Constitutional interpretation, what you do in the freedom of your own church pews is your business but try to take it into the public square or into a public accommodation and the forces of government will stop you, if you are a Christian or Jew but evidently not if you are a supplicant in the faith of Obama's fathers be they Obamas or Soetero- Islam. Then you are given rights well beyond "freedom of worship" up to and including imposing your will on the rest of us. Is it any wonder in an administration that seems to pride itself in thumbing its nose at the will of the majority that the President would stand against the seventy percent of the people who oppose the massacre site mosque?
