The cultures of Cheney and Palin are converging over opposition to the building of a mosque in Temecula, California:
An e-mail alert sent to area newspapers last week announced that a one-hour "singing praying patriotic rally" will begin at 12:30 p.m. July 30 at the Islamic Center’s existing facility. The advisory sent by a leader of a conservative coalition that has been active with Republican and Tea Party functions recommended participants "bring your Bibles, flags, signs, dogs and singing voices."
"We will not be submissive," the notice proclaimed. "Our voices are going to be heard!" The alert went on to question what its authors described as Islamic beliefs. It suggested that participants sing during the rally because Muslim "women are forbidden to sing." It suggested that rally participants bring dogs because Muslims "hate dogs."
This is great news for al Qaeda, and for all those Jihadists who want a civilizational war over religion. Are there any countervailing voices in the GOP? Anyone willing to stand up to this? When Gingrich has signed on, you realize that there are no moderating elites any more. Just opportunists willing to ride the tiger of polarization.
