Obama backs mosque near ground zero

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

Are you a birther?

Yeah, and there being a mosque already 4 blocks away sort of shows how silly this all is


Who would have thunk that the Democrats would be on the side of private property rights and Republicans for state intervention?  [besides me]

When many Republicans say "I'm conservative", they mean "I'm a conservative in name only".  LULZ

What does that have to do with Obama being a Muslim or not?

Just wondering, because that's a key belief of the birthers.  Someone could believe he is a Muslim and believe he was born in the United States, but several people who agree with the first often don't agree with the second.
