I am an active member of the North Haven community, a parent, and a concerned citizen. I have been a North Haven resident for just fewer than 10 years. I hope to be, when I post, a voice for moderation and reason here, as exciting as that sounds.
I was on vacation since Saturday and came home to a queque of Daily Shows and Colbert Reports. I watched this episode last night and had the same thought -- this clip was so well done, it should be posted!
I find the concern over the location of a Mosque in Downtown NYC quite illogical - especially from people who have consistently advocated intense support for "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and the global exportation of American Democratic Values - of which "Freedom of Religion" is a founding principle.
Please see this link for perhaps a more chilling example of encroaching Christian zealotry...punishing our bravest and most admired servicemen/servicewomen for expressing their own religious choices?
Yes, we all need to read from a variety of sources, test our assumptions, learn something new everyday, keep an open mind, and find ways to facilitate the best social change.

We all need to pay attention. Regardless of Party affiliation.
