I Think This Means The Terrorists Have Won
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 9th at 10:05 AM |
This is a shot of the top of Google News right now. If korans are burned in Florida by some moron preacher, the terrorists will get new recruits. If the Ground Zero Mosque is moved in New York, the terrorists will get new recruits. In other words, we either bow to the demands and wishes of radical Islamists or else. This is madness. No. This | Read More »
You Cannot Win With These People
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 9th at 06:52 AM |
The Ground Zero Mosque Imam has decided to hold the nation hostage to his mosque. According to him in an interview with CNN, if we do not build the mosque at ground zero it will jeopardize our national security. If some nut in Florida burns korans? Our national security is hurt. If we don’t build a mosque? Our national security is hurt. Seriously? Oh, but | Read More »
By Faith: I Am Proud of Franklin Graham
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 22nd at 09:00 AM |
All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had | Read More »
The Associated Press Takes Sides Again
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 19th at 03:32 PM |
Consistent with the operations of the 29% fringe political elites who have no problem with the Ground Zero mosque, the Associated Press has ordered a full stop on usage of “Ground Zero Mosque.” We should continue to avoid the phrase “ground zero mosque” or “mosque at ground zero” on all platforms. (We’ve very rarely used this wording, except in slugs, though we sometimes see other | Read More »
Flaming Hypocrisy and the Convenient Constitutionalists of the Fringe Political Elite
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 19th at 05:00 AM |
For weeks on end the political elite in this country and their sycophants have told us we must support the Ground Zero Mosque because our founding principles demand it. This fringe group, no larger than the birthers or 9/11 Truthers and smaller than the mainstream group called the “tea party movement” the fringe political elite has labeled fringe, are not afraid to tell you that | Read More »
The Elite Become Fringe. We Will Remember Come November
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 18th at 05:00 AM |
“The same people who have dedicated the entire year to proclaiming the tea party movement ‘fringe’ suddenly find themselves fringe.” I’ve written about this before. Let me pretty much repeat myself because it is vitally relevant here. I cannot tell you the number of reporters at major networks and newspapers who will, in private moments, admit there is a real bias in the media. That | Read More »
Nancy Pelosi Joins the Fringe Mosquerade
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 17th at 11:34 PM |
Ladies and gentlemen, we have come through the looking glass. Tonight on KCBS radio in San Francisco, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi began calls for investigations into opponents of the Ground Zero mosque. Aligning herself with the fringe — a group of people no larger than those who think 9/11 was an inside job and those who think Barack Obama is a foreign born | Read More »
Sensibilities and the Ground Zero Mosque

Here’s me on John King USA last night talking about this issue.
The Democrats’ Disaster: More Americans Question Barack Obama’s Birth Story Than Support the Ground Zero Mosque
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 17th at 05:00 AM |
UPDATE: I’ve looked at more numbers. Consider this: the percentage of people who think 9/11 was an inside job is equal to the percentage of people who think the Ground Zero mosque is a good idea. —– “Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a man whose first reaction to the Time Square bombing plot was to blame people upset about Obamacare passing, has ceded being the face of | Read More »
The Idiocy of Barack Obama’s Mosque Support
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 14th at 11:59 AM |
Barack Obama last night came out forcefully in favor of the Ground Zero Mosque. He said he believed our nation’s founding principles demanded it. Really? Which of those founding principles? This man was a law professor. Surely he understands that our founding principles do not compel the President of the United States to support the specific act of an individual based on our founding principles. | Read More »
The Ground Zero Mosque Should Be Stopped
By: The Directors (Diary) | August 2nd at 03:34 PM |
If you read no further, know this: RedState supports the Anti-Defamation League in its opposition to the so-called “Ground Zero mosque.” The ADL is right on all counts: in its rejection of bigotry, its affirmation of American religious freedom, and its declaration that common decency demands the end of this effort. As the ADL notes, this is “not a question of rights, but a question | Read More »
