Moore is simply saying that ground zero would still be a good place to have a community center. It is legal and in America if you buy the land you can build on it. The center was pushed a year and a half ago. There has been plenty of time to bitch. But when Fox started to make a big deal out of it ,the conservatives started to drool.

Are you implying that bars and strip clubs can’t be sacred spaces? Well, my Gods!

Alcoholic beverages are used in many religious ceremonies, and of course no one has to have the connection between ancient fertility rituals and stripper poles explained…😉

Why, someone would think you’d never heard of Dionysos!😃 Bacchus!

Paladino says ground zero is as far as the smoke and ash of the trade centers traveled. There are several mosques already in that area. I smell trouble for the future if he gets in.
