Public figures that are speaking out for the First Amendment where the mosque is involved have an ax to grind.

Everyone seems to overlook that the only public figures that are speaking out for the First Amendment where the mosque is involved are people with an ax to grind.

For example, Obama himself IS a Muslim (if a crypto one), and Bloomberg sees the fortunes of his empire in providing his Bloomberg system to the new trading desks in the developing countries.

As a business analyst in securities trading systems, I can tell you that the Bloomberg system is an indispensible part of any order management/trading desk. Business development for him has slowed in the West, but it's on a tear in developing (Muslim) countries. Did he become a billionaire by subordinating his business concerns to personal or religious considerations?

As for defending the Constitution, where are these guys on the Second Amendment?
