The Double Standard

Tomorrow ,Glenn Beck will have his thing in Washington. The "I Have a Scheme" thing .As much as I deplore Beck, and all the he stands for , it is his right to have this "march" of his . It doesn't matter that it is a slap in the face to MLK and every Black person in the USA.This actually is one of the reasons that Rev.King marched ....so everyone would have the same rights . My problem  with this, brings me to The "Mosque ". The number one hot topic in America today . Just as it is Beck's right to have his rally ,it is the "mosque's" right to build where and what they want .It seems that for the most part ...not all ....it is about sensitivity. The feelings that the 9/11 victims survivors may have are irrelevant ,so is the battle cry  hoisted upon the nation. There may be some  thing in that,but not for me to judge . What matters is that above all they have the RIGHT to build there.
This is where the double standard comes in ..Why is it OK for Beck to have his rally ......on hallowed ground  and to heck with the feelings of Black America, but it is NOT OK for the "Mosque" to be built ?
In my view it is the exact same thing .....no different ....forget about all this Sharia nonsense,Freedom is Freedom!
This also goes back  to when Bush declared war in Iraq and it has been proven that it was a war based on lies . Those of us who spoke out about it and voiced our displeasure were treated like lepers  and called traitors ! Yet these same people who were calling us traitors are now the ones speaking out against the President  and it is OK ! ....Well of coarse it is OK ,but it was OK for us ,also !
The Double Standard  is alive and well  and living in America !
