I am amazed that the controversy surrounding the proposed Muslim mosque and community center in New York City at ground zero is still going strong. America has turned into a country where if you don’t agree with someone, you are painted as a bad person. This is exactly what is going on in New York City.

Those who oppose the project have lost the legal battle, but now they are attempting to turn it into a political battle. I find those in opposition full of hypocrisy, especially those in the Republican Party.

When President Obama used the word “empathy” to describe one of the qualities he looked for in a Supreme Court nominee, Republicans ripped into him (and rightfully so). Our legal system is based on the law, not how one feels about a given case or person involved in a case.

Now, when it comes to the proposed mosque at ground zero, these same people want the Muslim community to be “sensitive” (i.e. empathetic) towards the family members of those killed and others impacted my 9/11. Mind you that everyone agrees that the Muslims have the legal right to move forward with the project—not even the most vocal opponent argues this point.

Historically, the public exposure of state-sponsored mass murder or terrorism through a transparent judicial process has strengthened the forces of good and undercut the extremists.

The Nuremberg trials were a classic case.

We as a party need to recognize that one-size-does-not-fit-all when it comes to campaigns. It shouldn’t be an earth-shattering revelation, but the fact of the matter is that the type of candidate and campaign that can win in Alabama is not going to be the same type of candidate or campaign needed to win in New Hampshire.

Last week held a lot of controversy for contestant Leiomy and Judge Lil Mama. Both are controversial figures. Many fans of the show have said since season one that Lil Mama should not be a judge on the show and there is plenty to back that up. Her lack of speaking skills, age, and sometimes even her manner are usually the reasons for fans having such strong displeasure with her place of authority on the show. Leiomy a transgendered woman from New York City and member of the all gay Vogue Evolution was having more issues than just her sexuality on the show. One week was marred by a consistently bad attitude that went so far as to walk out of rehearsals.

Hip-Hop Republican.com is a co-sponsor with other groups like the NAACP and the Republican Jewish Coalition for this years September 24th “Stand For Freedom in Iran” rally at the United Nations being held in New York City.
