Ground Zero Mosque Bullshit.

I am so sick and tired of this Ground Zero mosque bullshit. Today I wake up to find that two people are posting this retarded chain status on facebook about how everyone should be outraged. I just want to leave a comment on their statuses saying, "wake up sheeple," but I try not to incite political arguments on facebook because the other person generally can't keep it up and it gets boring. First of all, it's not a fucking mosque; it's a community center. Classes will be taught there, there will be basketball courts, etc. It's good for the community. Secondly, it's not at Ground Zero, it's several blocks away. Thirdly, I don't give a fuck if it is a mosque, this is America, this is a country founded by people who left England because of religious persecution. I don't give a shit if you like a religion or not, hell, I don't like any of them, but it doesn't matter what you or I like, there is freedom of religion in this country. 

According to the Constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." 

So whether you like the idea of a mosque near Ground Zero or not, get over it. It's the mother fucking Constitution people. Fourthly, this controversy over Ground Zero is so hyped because it's trying to distract people from the fact that the GOP denied health care coverage for 9/11 first responders. That is obviously the more important issue but nobody is paying any attention because they're so worked up over this mosque thing. Like it even matters in the long run. There's a Shinto temple near Pearl Harbor and nobody is shitting their pants about that one so can we please stop with this craziness and focus on things that actually matter for once.
