Democrat Cuomo favors Muslim facility

Lazio Calls on Cuomo to Probe Funds for Mosque

Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Lazio wants his Democratic rival, Andrew Cuomo, to investigate the development of a $100 million mosque being planned near ground zero.

Lazio says he's concerned that not enough is known about the funding of the project. He says that Cuomo, as attorney general, has the authority to investigate the project because Cuomo's office has jurisdiction over nonprofit organizations in New York.

Cuomo has said he supports the mosque's construction.

Ayn Randian and Publisher of Atlas Shrugs Pamela Geller praised Lazio, calling him "Patriotically correct; not Politically Correct":

Finally, a Gubernatorial candidate New Yorkers can cheer, support and get behind: Rick Lazio. He is demanding an investigation into the shady financing of the 100-million-dollar mega mosque at Ground Zero.

Cuomo is for the mosque. New Yorkers need to know that.

Though, notably, Lazio has yet to come out fully against the building of the Mosque.

Libertarian for Gov. Warren Redlich - "Radical Islam rejects Freedom... preaches hate."

Reached for a comment about the Mosque, Libertarian Party candidate for Governor Warren Redlich had this to say:

I'm very much against radical Islam because it rejects freedom. The very freedom that allows them to preach their hate here is the kind of liberty they deny others where they have power.

Redlich, an attorney, cautioned there might be free speech issues involved. He went on to criticize Lazio for ties to companies who do business with Middle Eastern nations.

I also question Lazio's criticism of the project. Perhaps he could answer some questions about his bank's activities in the Middle East:

How many radical Islamic groups use JP Morgan Chase for banking services?

For now it's just two landings on the northern San Diego County coast. But is Orange County next, points further north, Ventura, Santa Barbara? And what about the South Texas Coast? Even parts of Louisiana, or Florida's West Coast?

San Diego Tribune, July 6 "Illegal immigrants arrested after coming ashore in North County"

NORTH COUNTY — Two groups of illegal immigrants came ashore in North County and [Oceanside] were apprehended Tuesday, including 18 adults who were dumped off by a boat on a Camp Pendleton beach.

Marine Corps officials contacted the Border Patrol around 6 a.m. after the 13 men and five women were spotted on the base. It is believed the group was dropped off by smugglers using a boat, said Border Patrol Agent Mark Endicott.

The 18 were all Mexican nationals illegally in the country, Endicott said.

And then there's this, also from the SD Trib:

Earlier Tuesday, 16 people were apprehended when a boat carrying illegal immigrants came ashore in Leucadia.

The panga was first spotted about 1:20 a.m. by a Coast Guard helicopter on routine patrol south of Oceanside, Coast Guard Petty Officer Henry Dunphy said.

The boat made landfall about 2 a.m. near the Batiquitos Lagoon north of Grandview Beach, Dunphy said.

Border Patrol agents assisted by the Sheriff’s Department took the people into custody. Endicott said the 15 men and one woman were all Mexican nationals. The majority were apprehended near stairs leading to a condo complex near the beach, he said.

Tim Daniels of Left Coast Rebel, who lives north of San Diego County, commented:

is it any wonder then why Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (and 70% of Arizona residents) are desperate to resolve the crime and mayhem at their border? Because it is much, much worse there.

Yet Dear Leader and Eric Holder's cronies push to sue a state for simply and perhaps even desperately trying to save itself from a warzone situation.

The nation wants the borders closed and our country protected. As the White House and Justice fight the vast majority of America, can you say reelection, Western Democrats?

Note - I live on the South Texas Coast.

• Obama bows down to foreign rulers, including the King of Saudi Arabia

• Obama insults America's greatest allies - Britain, Poland, Czech Republic and Israel

• Obama directs his NASA head to "reach out" to the Muslim world rather than launch a program for Mars exploration, or a return to the Moon

• Eric Holder's Justice Dept. bring suit against State of Arizona for fighting Illegal Immigration

• Holder's Justice Dept. dismisses case against Black Panthers for intimmidating voters with weapons in front of Philly polling place

Tom Tancredo, out-of-office and not running for anything, is saying out-loud what many Republicans, Tea Party Patriots, and Libertarian Party members are thinking: Obama and his administration are the biggest threat to America and the ultimate survival of our Republic.

At a rally in Colorado last Thursday, from The Hill:

"We had that threat [from the former Soviet Union] and we survived it. Later we found out we had another threat to our way of life and that was al-Qaeda. We found that out on 9/11.

But I firmly believe this--it's not just, you know, sort of a dramatic statement that a person would make to get press or something, or ink. I believe this with all my heart. The greatest threat to the United States today, the greatest threat to our liberty, the greatest threat to the Constitution of the United States, the greatest threat to our way of life, everything we believe in, the greatest threat to the country that was put together by the founding fathers is the guy that is in the White House today."

Tancredo is the past president of the libertarian Independence Institute in Denver, served in the Reagan administration, and was a Congressman representing Denver south from 1998 to 2006.
