Just say "No" to right-wing bullying when rights are at stake

The "debate" over the so-called Ground Zero Mosque continues, with rationales flying on both sides, but the real bottom line is that the driving force here is an attempt by right-wingers to bully the rest of America into giving up its civil rights in favor of right-wing views on what our rights should be. This is bullying by the right-wingers, plain and simple. Our response should not be to try to reason rationally with them, but to simply call them out and say "No", that we won't allow them to bully us into giving up our rights. When rights are at stake, so-called "sensitivity" is a non-issue, plain and simple.
