A Mosque At Ground Zero

Dear Katerina,

I can't believe our President is handing us over to the muslims like he's doing. Can you believe it? What a traitor!  The world trade centers are sacred ground. Lives are lost there. People are still buried there not all were found. How slimy is that guy. I'd like your opinion on this. I'm seeing some loons in favor of the Mosque.

btw, Katerina, its' good to see you back. I was a follower of yours many years ago. Please don't quit again we need you. I'm glad I found you. I saw your book advertised and followed the link and here you are! Thanks!

Dear True to America,

It's good to be back again. Unfortunately, I don't have as much time now as I did back then, but I'm still going to do this. There seems to be a need more than ever now. Our world is morphing into something no one recognizes.

You are correct when you say Ground Zero is sacred.  Although many would agree with your opinion of the President we must remember that he still holds a very sacred office. That does not mean we have to accept his policies or his arrogance, but we must respect the office of the President of the United States. And remember, every President can be impeached.

To answer your question... what is being overlooked here is the fact that our country was built on democracy and we are also a republic. Americans as a whole are against building a Mosque near Ground Zero. According to our Constitution if the "collective" is against it then that's good enough. The majority of Americans ARE against it. Some outraged, some silent, some are actively protesting. The people have spoken. They don't want a Mosque near Ground Zero. That should be enough.

The Constitution is a body of laws we must adhere too. In order for a Bill to become a law it must be voted on. It's a majority rule. Once a Bill becomes a law it can be amended.. and amended and amended again. Nothing is written in stone and all requires a voting process. You cannot violate the Constitution, even though people today seem to think it's written on toilet paper and are violating it in plain daylight and not caring.

In closing, I'd like to say that I believe Islam is a threat to the free world. I believe it is awake while we are sleeping. The Imam has said a few times that he would like to see the United States embrace Sharia Law. This type of law, the Sharia Law, is barbaric and evil, in my opinion. What we need to embrace as Americans is that all nationalities, religions, and stations in life are welcome here. The key to making this successful is respecting each other and living together in peace. That also means not being disrespectful, arrogant or war-like. Respectful of each other. As long as their is arrogance, belligerence, hatred, and a government who wants to snuff out some and elevate the rest, we will live in turmoil. Time to wake the sleeping Lion, America!

Faithfully,
Katerina
