And compare and contrast the following ideas...
The Left hates the Confederate flag, though it's not illegal to own one or fly it. There are one or two that fly out here in the county. Not here, we fly our own flag along with the national and state flags.
The Left periodically gets in a snit about the rebel battleflag because flying it is insensitive to the descendents of a group of people who were traumatized by the actions of people who fought under or supported that banner.
So, do those arguments apply to the Ground Zero Mosque?
Additional skein to follow - is the Ground Zero Mosque any different from the Carmelite Convent built near Auschwitz for the same putative reasons?
Discuss.
But follow the Rulez, attack arguments, not the people making them. Heat is okay, but spittle flecked rants are not. Don't take anything personally - there are some here who will argue just so the Devil has an advocate - stay focused on the arguments. Of course, you shouldn't take anything personally because no one is going to be saying anything personal right?
