Question by Uncle Benito: When did leftists develop such a keen interest in protecting freedom of religion?
This seems to be a new development. Most of the people who are now preaching to us about freedom of religion as it relates to the mosque controversy are the same ones who are usually yapping about a mythical freedom FROM religion.
What are the chances this newfound respect for the First Amendment will still be their guiding principle the next time Christians or Jews are the ones whose religious freedoms are the ones being threatened?

I’m not hell bent on getting rid of religion.
I’ve never came out against any of them.

They must always distance themselves the exact opposite direction from the Conservatives, no matter if they change their stance on something or not.

So…who is telling Jews or Christians that they can’t build a church or a synagogue?
Certainly no liberals that I know of.
When Christian Eric Rudolph bombed the Atlanta Olympics, no one argued that Christians shouldn’t be allowed to build a church anywhere near the bomb site.

Excellent Point.
Liberals support anything or anybody that HATES America – that’s really what Liberals stand for.

Its a new development because attacks on freedom of religion are a new development.
By the way, when did the right-wingers become so accepting of limitations on a property owner’s rights? This seems to be a new development.

It’s just Hypocrisy.
They(liberals) want the 10 commandments out from public view, but want the Muslims to build their mosque near Ground Zero in full display, can Hypocrisy get any worse?

No, they will still not support the 1st for Christians and Jews. This recent support for Muslims is in keeping with the “victim v. oppressor” stance of modern liberalism. They view Muslims as another victimized minority and refuse to see the religion for what it is, an oppressive theocratic movement bent on world domination.
