Come off it, Madam Speaker

I've made it very clear that I don't think the notion that it is somehow insensitive to the families and friends of those who survived 9/11 to allow an Islamic community center to be built two blocks away from Ground Zero, at a site which can't even be seen from there, is either rational or readily distinguishable from a kind of Muslim-bashing which is repugnant to the spirit of the Bill of Rights.

Nevertheless, the theory espoused by the zany Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi- that opposition to the center represents some kind of evil conspiracy that needs to be investigated- is just as scary, if not more so.

If the debate over the Cordoba Center is artificial and politically motivated, fine. In fact, I rather think that it is exactly that. But I wish I had a dime for every trumped-up, phoney non-issue that Speaker Pelosi and her fellow left-wing extremists in and out of the Democratic party have inflicted on us over the past decade.
