Read in full my oped in today's American Thinker on NY Gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino. And remember to mark your calenders for our next solemn protest against the Ground Zero mega mosque on September 11th. We will rally on September 11th, one year to the day before Islamic supremacists intend to open the mosque: September 11, 2011.
The Man Who Would Stop the Ground Zero Mosque Pamela Geller, American Thinker
"As Governor," Paladino
said Wednesday in a radio ad, "I will use the power of eminent domain
to stop this mosque and make the site a war memorial instead of a
monument to those who attacked our country."

I like this guy. I really like this guy. If the Supreme Court could rule, in the notorious 2005 decision Kelo v. City of New London,
that the government could seize private property for a private
developer and then never develop the property, surely Americans should
be able to use eminent domain to designate the Burlington Coat Factory
building a war memorial.

That
building is a war memorial since part of one of the 9/11 airplanes
crashed into it, causing severe damage. That makes the building a war
memorial, no less than Gettysburg or Pearl Harbor. There should be no
mosque there, and nothing there but a memorial to the people that
America lost to that heinous Islamic jihad attack on September 11, 2001.

Instead
of a mega-mosque at Ground Zero, we should build on that site a museum
dedicated to the 9/11 victims. That will give us the opportunity to
redress yet another insult: the current plan for a 9/11 museum is
several floors underground, like a dungeon. In contrast, the plan for
the "Islamic center" at the Burlington Coat Factory site calls for the
mosque to be on the top floor of a thirteen- or fifteen-story building,
looking down triumphantly on the burial ground of Ground Zero.

I don't think so.
The
Burlington Coat Factory building must be designated a war memorial, a
historic landmark. It is part of American history. To do anything less
would be sacrilege, let alone build a 15-story mosque. And so far only
Carl Paladino has the guts to say so. Three thousand good and decent
Americans did not die in vain on September 11, 2001. And we have not
forgotten them, even if Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bloomberg and the rest of
the New York political establishment have. The fact that they ignore the
historical significance of the building is outrageous, and disrespects
the victims of 9/11.
"I've
been driving land-use issues for 40 years," says Paladino, "and I
understand the full powers of the governor. If the ACLU or anyone else
wants to challenge me in court, I'm ready for the fight."
