Haters gotta hate.

“I’m totally against it. If I had my way, it would pretty much be over my dead body,” said Ron McNeil, a candidate for the U.S. House District 2 seat, who was referring to a controversial plan to build an Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero in New York City. “That religion is against everything America stands for. If we have to let them build it, make them build it nine stories underground, so we can walk above it as citizens and Christians.”

Some people in the audience applauded McNeil’s response. However, one student appeared up-set and asked McNeil what gave him or the federal government the right to tell an American that they can’t build an institution.

“This religion’s plan is to destroy our way of life,” McNeil said.

2. they're going to use that building to take over America?

seriously, what is the fear when they talk like this. What is the worst-case scenario if that mosque gets built, for the people that are afraid of Islam taking over? How is it going to play out?

5. I think they are afraid it will be the headquarters of the

Socialist Nazi Communist Islamo-ACORN Caliphate of The Exalted Kenyan Overlord.

Kind of like the White House, except Black and socialist and communist and Nazi and Muslim.
