Comment on Khavari Names Running Mate by Ross

This is great news. It’s great news for Florida and Floridians because the expertise in economics and finance embodied in this ticket is just what we need when unemployment is north of 10% and the State is in debt up to its cupola.

Florida’s economic ship needs the right people in the wheelhouse. The Khavari/Richardson team is it.

Thanks Mark. We’ll be referring to it as ‘Philly’s Nine Mile.’ And the other one ‘Philly’s Creighton.’

OK, further complication. Now best case scenario is for Friday. We’re in awaiting inspection mode right now. There is the mechanical, the electrical, the fire inspections that have to happen. The plumbing one is done. Then, after those three are done, the State health inspection is the final one. We won’t be operating until ALL of them are done. And, I’m hoping, all will be done by Friday.

But since they don’t do weekends, if it doesn’t happen by Friday, then we’re into next week. Again. Argh!

Comment on Who Should ‘Recognize And Respect’ Ground Zero? by Ross

Derek, I remember something else about that imam dude. He helped fund, through one of his organizations, that Gaza Flotilla that was nothing less than a staged confrontation with the Israeli blockade. And if that is 'as unradical as they come' then we better start looking over our shoulder and see what is going on at our local mosque. I'd like to believe that mosques all over the country are not run by people like Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.

Comment on Who Should ‘Recognize And Respect’ Ground Zero? by Ross

Only thing I find objectionable about him as relates to this piece, is the fact that he wants to build a mosque too close to the place where victims of radical Islam perished. Doing the will of Mohammed, so they believe. That, and the fact that his name for the place, the Cordoba House, was all the evidence I need to tell me that his intent was the building of a trophy symbol to defeating the West, infidels, christians, et.al.. The history of Cordoba was just that. Let's not get distracted by my characterization of him as a radical. It's not about him, it's about Obama's reaction. He now seems to be squirming in his conviction, or lack thereof. It is pure Obama, saying what he needs to say based on his audience and the amount of pushback he receives. And expecting us and the people of New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington to just lay down and be tolerant? No. This imam is the one who needs to show some tolerance. That's the message Obama should be delivering. Don't drag the Middle East into the discussion. The only Muslims that are pissed at our defense and the existence of Israel are the radical Islamists like Hamas. A group that this imam refuses to see as terrorists. He sees them as freedom fighters. Same as he sees alQaeda as freedom fighters. There's no progress in tolerance when dealing with people whose goal is world domination, like this guy believes. Especially so when Mohammed himself, according to the Koran, says it's just fine to lie to non-believers in the pursuit of that goal. So when this guy says he is about building bridges, he is flat-out lying in our face.

Because the Weekly Standard is a totally reputable source and all. Even that incredibly slanted piece, though, doesn’t directly quote Mr. Rauf with saying anything I find objectionable. What exactly do you find objectionable? You don’t think that our aggression in the Middle East is at least partially to blame for the way many Middle Eastern Muslims feel about America?

Mr. Rauf has routinely and publicly denounced any and all terrorism. He advocates the need for Muslims to live in peace with those of other faiths. He advocates for diversity, inclusion, women’s rights, etc. You should read his book “What’s Right With Islam Is What’s Right With America.”
