sethrakI came across this article on Twitter. The National Review is a conservative outfit, but the article's author makes a very strong case that opponents of Cordoba House are letting their dislike of Islam trump their conservative principles regarding rule of law, property rights, and federalism.
"Part of supporting limited government is understanding that sometimes, things you don’t like will happen, and the government (especially the federal government) won’t do anything about it. Getting to do what you want comes at the price of other people getting to do what they want—including build mosques where you’d prefer they didn’t."
He also points out that there's a strip club approx. the same distance from Ground Zero, and nobody's protesting *that* as damaging the sanctity of the site. ::snerk::
