Conservative PC and the "Cordoba House"

Frankly, I just don’t care about "public opinion" in this case. And, I don’t think that the Cordoba Foundation should. Why is it that people do not want it built there? Because it's an Islamic organization? So what? Now 1.57 billion people in the world are representative of a terrorist plot? Or the 5.78 million American Muslims (of whom there are "more than a couple relatives of the deceased", btw). The Cordoba foundation raised the money, they are not a terrorist organization, it doesn't support terrorism, and the very premise of our separation-of-powers and federalist system is to prevent the tyranny of a majority from infringing on one's Constitutionally guaranteed rights, especially one stoked by the delusions of demagogues (Federalist #10). Traditionally, "conservatism" supposedly stood for exactly these principles. Now, it's simply Palin and Gingrich's ilk who use an inverse application of the liberal conception of political correctness. But, now we have to worry about the xenophobes and social conservatives' sensibilities instead of some hippie's. I'm sorry, but if you want to be offended by the construction of buildings in reaction to 9/11, then take a look at this map and the perpetually bloated state of the security-industrial complex before you complain about one moderate group's plans to build essentially a YMCA.
