Rant 2: We need a moment of peace and compassion.

It seems that my fellow Americans are turning into Terrorists, not all of them but a good amount, the scary ones in particular are coming out of the woodwork. We have a constitutional right to freedom of Religion. When Americans start picketing houses of worship they are in the wrong. When They start sending death threats to holy people they are in the wrong.
What is happening?
It can't just be the Fox News/tea party/Koch Brothers' evil mechanizations, there is something fundamentally wrong here. The rise of true Evil seems to be taking hold over the nation, and there are many people attempting to stop it but we need a symbol to rally around. In some ways the Cordoba House could be a symbol of true interfaith cooperation. If the Christian Churches, Jewish Synagogues, Pagan groups, and such all came together to hold a prayer meeting or at least a press conference in brotherhood with the Muslim's in the area that would make a huge difference in the way the "common man" sees the community center.
Hell, if I could I would be up there now picketing the picketers. I'm not Muslim, I have some problems with their views on Homosexuality but i will not stand and allow other bigots to interfere in their constitutional rights. That makes me a bad person, a bad American.

With all of the hate and terror in the world today, why do we allow Fox News and their ilk stoke the flames of hatred and violence. There has to be some rules governing rabble rousing and warmongering.

Please if you can do what you're able to help your fellow Americans to understand that what they are doing is destroying the very fabric of America.
