Weekly Wrap-up

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Ground Zero mosque is a terrible idea, any way you look at it.

As The Washington Times notes, “The Ground Zero Mosque project already has failed in its intended outreach mission, and its backers now seem to be committed to alienating as many Americans as possible.”

I want to make sure everyone who reads our blog has a chance to weigh in on this question, so I’ve made this the focus of our Weekly Poll. It’s very straightforward: Do you want to see the Cordoba House mosque built at Ground Zero? Make sure to give your opinion today.

The mosque has been in the news all week – especially with the Conservative Party’s new ad that’s running across the state – but unfortunately we’ve seen plenty of other terrible ideas on display over the past several days.

Political incompetency – a very bad idea, but nothing new here in New York

Obamacare – a dreadful idea, as even the White House now acknowledges. If this health care “reform” needed to be fixed or improved, shouldn’t that have been done during the actual legislative process?

Trying to spend our way out of a recovery – not a good idea.

Another bad idea: Policies that tax and over-regulate businesses, and discourage job creation...

Having a great weekend – that’s a good idea, and I hope you will.
