The Ground Zero Mosque issue continues to bubble. Nancy Pelosi assumes there's a plot behind the opposition to it and wants it investigated. The supporters want George W. Bush to speak out in favor of it.

I find it odd that the people who are steeped in political correctness with its emphasis on sensitivity and avoiding "hurtful" words and actions are so dense about it when it comes to the developers of this mosque. Apparently the sensitivity requirement only applies selectively. It sounds a lot like "America bad; Foreigners good."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that a proposed Islamic center in New York City was a local issue and that she supports an investigation into how the opposition is being funded.
I didn't really give a hoot about it until President Obama stepped in it. The whole handling of Ground Zero has been fraught with PC almost from the beginning. Why expect this to be any different? I don't see this opposition as being "ginned up" by some mysterious moneyed interest. It's just a basic sense of fairness. If we must all be tolerant and sensitive, as Muslim spokespersons are always lecturing us, why shouldn't they?

I don't believe that Congress should investigate anything. It's not a legal issue, or one that should be used for political ends (although that seems to be unavoidable now). They'll probably build this mosque despite all the complaints. Islam is, after all, supposed to take over the world, but it seems that this mosque has become something Sunni Muslims are said to be against, a shrine/idol. Or maybe it's just a provocation or a pointed message concerning our coming dhimmitude.

Or maybe it means nothing.
