under the byline of Michael Howard Saul:
"The New York State Independence Party promised last month the immediate return of money allegedly stolen from Mayor Michael Bloomberg by a volunteer on his 2009 re-election campaign, but as of Monday afternoon Manhattan prosecutors had not received a dime.
More than six weeks ago, the party removed hundreds of thousands of dollars from its housekeeping account and forwarded it to the party's attorney, Vincent Messina, so that it could be "returned immediately," the party's chairman, Frank MacKay, told The Wall Street Journal.
Records filed with the New York State Board of Elections showed the party sent $260,000 to Mr. Messina on July 15, tens of thousands of dollars less than what Manhattan prosecutors have demanded be returned.
Mr. Messina confirmed Monday afternoon that he still has the money in his possession...

The correct answer is no, unless you're a Muslim. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright, President Obama's former pastor, now has spoken out to assure us that the President is a Christian, or at least, a devout member of the United Church of Christ, the most left-wing of the American protestant denominations. Wright is is most famous for his "America's chickens have come home to roost" remarks in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks. After twenty years in the pews of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, President Obama claims not to remember any of the Reverend Wright's sermons.
The Reverend Wright's comments are here:

I oppose construction of a mosque near Ground Zero. I agree with the senior Muslim clerics who think it foolish for the Muslim community in New York to permanently link Islam with the 9/11 terror attacks by Muslim extremists in this way. But, hey, as we say in New York, it's their funeral.
On the other hand, mosque opponents should understand that the decision to permit construction of a mosque, and a strip club, and dive bars, and sleazy and tacky businesses of all sorts, within a block of where the Twin Towers stood, was made almost immediately after Mayor Michael Bloomberg was elected, almost nine years ago. Mayor Rudy Giuliani had argued for making Ground Zero sacred ground, a national memorial to those who died on that day. He lost the argument to the real estate developers, who scrambled to redevelop Ground Zero as a commercial district in Lower Manhattan. After all, there was money to be made in redevelopment of Ground Zero, or so they thought.

As reported in a long article in today's New York Times, the Muslim world itself is divided about the proposed mosque near Ground Zero. Some senior Muslim clerics think it foolish for American Muslims to push forward with this project. This proves that there are wise leaders within Islam.

In a stunning surprise in New York's congressional district 22, leftist Democrat U.S. Congressman Maurice Hinchey is facing a strong challenge, and a possible upset, from GOP underdog George Phillips. Hinchey has been an unhinged conspiracy theorist and advocate of extreme leftist economic and political policies for many years. He believes that former GOP President George Bush deliberately let Osama Bin Laden escape at Tora Bora, and that Karl Rove planted the Rathergate memos. He's also an outspoken advocate of the "Fairness" Doctrine that would shut down conservative talk radio. Using the power of government to shut down the opposition? My Democratic friends, that's not liberal or progressive; that's totalitarian and crazy.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has doubled down on his "defense of religious liberty" rhetoric with respect to the proposed mosque near Ground Zero. To listen to the mayor, you'd think that the religious liberty of American Muslims was in jeopardy. That's nonsense of course.
Religious liberty is the right to worship free of government-imposed obstacles. Rather than imposing obstacles, the Bloomberg Administration has bent over backwards to accommodate Muslim-Americans. As I've noted elsewhere, there are at least one hundred mosques in New York City right now, and people worship there unmolested. Years ago, Mayor Bloomberg appointed the General Counsel of CAIR, a Muslim activist front group, to the NYC Human Rights Commission, where he continues to sit. Coddling Muslims is Mayor Bloomberg's stock in trade.
