We’ve heard and seen it before. The esteemed Speaker of the US House of Representatives has once again dismissed those who share a differing political opinion, dismissed their rights and gone that extra yard in calling for a federal investigation. Nancy Pelosi argued recently that those who oppose the construction of the Ground Zero Mosque should be investigated.
So this has what it has come to? those who dare exercise their first amendment guaranteed rights to freedom of speech and a redress of grievances are somehow criminals? Under what grounds does the federal government have any legitimate justification to investigate this supposed crime? Yet daily we here it is the Tea Party and others of like mind who are the fascist in this country, but in reality we witness evidence to the contrary each day. We see government officials who seek extreme measures to silence critiques.
To be true there is no question of the legal right of Muslims to construct a mosque, in keeping with local laws, that right is assured by the 1st, 14th and 5th amendments, from this, however, we cannot deprive other law abiding citizens of their rights as well. The words if Nancy Pelosi, being such a high ranking government official are in-excusable and the Pale. But what can be expected from the the likes of some politicians and their desire to impose their will on others.
