Area (Park) 51

Leaving aside the constitutionality of the Park 51 Islamic Center (so convenient for conservatives to scream about the constitution until it serves their purposes to ignore it), the one argument conservatives make that just kills me is the one that goes, more or less, that we'll open an Islamic Center two blocks from Ground Zero when Arab nations allow construction of Christian churches in said nations. What the fuck? Aren't conservatives so fond of touting the superiority of America, the superiority of Christianity, the superiority of our ideals--and now we want to be like them by refusing to allow the construction of a religious building that offends some people? Really? We want to sink to their level of disrespect for other religions? Conservative idiocy would be funny if it wasn't so utterly pathetic (and demeaning to everything America stands for).
