Those peckerwoods at VoteVets have decided that President Obama&#8217;s endorsement of the building of the Cordoba House is the greenlight they need to weigh-in on the issue. First <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=14664\">Tony Camerino<\/a>, VoteVets member who blogs at VetsVoice  writes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/matthew-alexander\/build-the-mosque-help-def_b_689086.html\">in the Huffington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Imagine an al Qaeda recruiter attempting to sway a potential charge by citing an imaginary American war against Muslims but having to face the counterargument that Americans built a Muslim community center near the site of the former Twin Towers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s just how any al Qaeda recruiter would phrase the situation. Or maybe, more likely, an al Qaeda recruiter would point out to a prospective recruit that they&#8217;re winning against the Americans since we acquiesced on this important issue. But this isn&#8217;t the first time Camerino has used his former profession as an interrogator to lend credence to the president&#8217;s policies using his position at the Soros Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Then we have little Jon Soltz, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/jon-soltz\/the-muslim-community-cent_b_694621.html\">also writing in the Huffington Post<\/a> about the issue &#8211; of course, the Army captain who attacked a young sergeant at the Yearly Kos three years ago pleads with veterans to sign his petition and support the project;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>when we signed up for service, we swore to uphold the Constitution. For all the talk these days from some quarters about the importance of protecting the Constitution and allowing the free market to work unfettered, those same people are fighting against a person&#8217;s right to buy property and worship freely. Our duty to protect the Constitution doesn&#8217;t end when our service does. It&#8217;s up to us to stand up for the right for all Americans to enjoy the Constitutional freedoms that so many around the world don&#8217;t have.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Aside from the fact that the issue isn&#8217;t about religious freedom (the Bill of Rights was written to protect citizens from the government&#8230;not from each other&#8230;so far the government hasn&#8217;t interfered, so Soltz should really avoid a career in law), it&#8217;s about common decency and mutual respect.<\/p>\n<p>The letter Jon Soltz wants veterans to sign is addressed to Sharif El-Gamal, the developer of the planned Cordoba House &#8211; yes, it&#8217;s a letter of support to the intended beneficiaries of the facility. Quoting from Tony Camerino Soltz writes in that letter;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;allowing the Community Center to move forward will deal a blow to the propaganda of al Qaeda and Islamist extremists&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t that logic so naive that you just want to run out and buy Soltz a teddy bear?<\/p>\n<p>And for an added bonus, Vets Today&#8217;s Robert Hanafin urges his robots to sign the VV letter to deal a blow against the Judeo-Christian Crusade;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Hanafin-Vets-Today.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20302\" title=\"Hanafin Vets Today\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Hanafin-Vets-Today.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Hanafin-Vets-Today.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Hanafin-Vets-Today-279x300.jpg 279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And Hanafin hopes that IVAW will take up the mantle of Vote Vets, too, with their &#8220;thousands&#8221; of members.
