"Suspicious Packages"--A Ground Zero Islam-Friendly Gay Bar

Greg Gutfeld's great plan for a gay bar next to the Cordoba Mosque & Community Center.

This is old business (a week or so), but needs serious consideration for Tolerance & Communication.

It will consider plenty of sensibilities and build lots of dialogue!

It may not be following Sharia law, so dogs can be welcome.

And may I suggest that bar snacks include Chicharones (Spanish diversity name for pork rinds).

The fatty, but tasty pork rind snack can be carried away from the BAR along with one of the delicious 72 Virgin Drinks (in a paper cup). The good news is that if pork rinds get spilled outside, they are bio-friendly and just turn to dust and blow away, even into the 13 Story Community Center next door.

It just occurred to me, Obama was not supporting Islamic Religious Freedom, he was was supporting the new Cordoba Community Center out habit from being a Community Organizer!
