I heard the "zoning laws" argument yesterday on the radio, that we don't have true property rights anyway, so why should we pick and choose which to enforce?
I agree that is it wrong to pick and choose where we will apply our anti-property laws and when we won't, but this could be a great time to put a spotlight on the mass infringement government puts on property rights.
I don't see how fighting tyranny with tyranny is going to get us more liberty.
I've wrestled with this myself.
I do not think that allowing them to build the mosque will grant any of us any more property rights, since this is being touted as a 1A issue.
Also, this building represents a group that advocates absolute tyranny. It's not like they're building a statue to honor liberty. I see it as another small step in the march towards Sharia law. A tin hat idea, but who ever thought we'd have a communist working for the president? That only took a little over 100 years to accomplish.
This just doesn't sit right with me. It seems counter intuitive to support a group with principles that run counter to the ideal of Liberty.
So, if this was being brought up as a Property Rights issue, I would probably get behind it, but with some reservation as to the motives of the group.
