the Rouge Muse

Here is a link to the best thing I’ve yet read/heard about the mosque/Islamic center controversy, posted by a friend on Facebook.  Everyone everywhere should read this, straight from the Memphis Flyer.  First, a taste:

“I can neither accept nor believe that the spirit and principles of our remarkable Constitution were crushed beneath the crumbling walls of the Twin Towers, destroyed within the burning debris of the Pentagon, or scattered across the gently rolling fields of Pennsylvania. That’s neither the America I know and love nor the country that I served for 21 years in the Army. And it is certainly not representative of the price of freedom that far too many brave men and women have paid with their lives over the past two centuries.”

Brilliant truth.  Read it.
