Does Homeland Security know about this? :yoiks:

[MineralMan]

16. Baby Mussles. Poor things...

[Forkboy]

19. Sugar and spice and everything nice.

Just trying to piss off Freepers even more. ;)

[DevonRex]

23. Mmmmm. Sugar cookies.

Or snickerdoodles. Or cinnamon rolls. Or spice cake. Or chai. Mmmmmmm... :P

[Forkboy]

24. Awwwwwww....spice cake!

God I love that.

Do you remember those quick and easy cakes any clown could make in an oven in like 10 minutes back in the 70's? They had this spice cake with frosting. First I would eat the entire frosting packet, and then cook the cake. :)

[DevonRex]

26. Well of course you had to eat the frosting first.

No self-respecting kid would make the cake first. That would have been too weird. And the cake was okay without the frosting even though you always wished you had some to put on it. I always tried to lick a little bit out of what was left in the packet and then take a bite of the cake. Never really worked, though. My older sister would shake her head at me and roll her eyes.

She was the kind who would have made the cake first. :eyes:

[Forkboy]

31. Your sister was clearly insane.

:D

[DevonRex]

36. She still is.

She's a teabagger. But don't tell anybody. :rofl:

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. So he has her cake these days with Earl Gray

Or English Breakfast?

I disagree to the extent that it’s good the American people know where he truly stands. Dumb move on his part though. It doesn’t surprise me. After all, he is muslim.

President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero, saying the country's founding principles demanded no less.

"As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York and the nation.

"That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

13. You must have a cast iron stomach if you can eat and freep at the same time.

Safe journey there and back.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Well here is a classic

18. Full props to him for doing this.

:thumbsup:

[TheKentuckian]

20. Yay! The President isn't a shit flinging, radical regressive, anti-American, bigoted, fucking cretin

Queue the dancing Ewoks!!!

To be honest, I don't understand why the head of state would be dealing with what is clearly in the very heart of the separation clause but I am pleased he will stand on the side of free worship and practice.

Does anyone notice the things that we are fist bumping about these days? Is no one at all troubled that the most basic tenets of our nation being supported is worthy of praise and violating them is of little consequence?

It is beyond ridiculous that instead of making progress we must instead be herded into re-fighting about every battle Magna Carta forward with a legion of morons, greed heads, and dimwit supply side cultist.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Yes I have noticed

this period will be fascinating for a history graduate student in oh fifty years from now, the same way as McCarthy's era was...

[TheKentuckian]

27. If such people are here in fifty then it certainly will be.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. The US goes thorough tis irrational burst

every so often. 1797, 1917, 1950s... amazing periods of US History, and they have a lot in common with today.

[Whoa_Nelly]

25. Did a quick FR search for mosque pentagon...and the results are

Nothing matched your criteria.

Anyone want to ghost post over there and clue'em in? :eyes:

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. here you go

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2570276/posts

[Whoa_Nelly]

32. Where does it talk about the mosque that opened at the Pentagon soon after 9/11?

:shrug:

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. Talking about GZ, sorry

what you expect freepers to remember the Bush administration?

[NorthCarolina]

28. Is it politically more advantageous to show public support for a Mosque at GZ

than it is to show public support for LGBT causes? Especially when you are a self declared fierce advocate?? Just curious.

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. Well I agree with you

and I hate the fact that DADT is still in the books. But I can multi task. At times I wonder if the WH can.

[rufus dog]

29. that's it - I AM DONE

Bush made similar comments after 9/11 about respecting religious freedom!

[applegrove]

38. Great for him.

[Scurrilous]

39. K & R
