Mosque to get public funding?

  The hot rumors going around Washington are that the Divine One isn't interested in running for a second term. 
  This is evidenced by:
1) a total lack of interest in working rather than partying  
2) a propensity to golf in the midst of a disastrous economy  
3) a desire, almost, to stick his finger in the eye of a suffering people by repeated insulting acts of excess such as MO's trip to Spain in such a bad economy  
4)  repeated acts of injury against the name of this great country, disrespect of our allies and an alliance with our enemies  
5)  repeated and injurious acts against the will of the American people, intended to inflame the hearts of patriots and endanger the country.
  Now we have word that the mosque in NYC which is so vehemently opposed by citizens may be funded by your taxpayer dollars. In addition to the discovery that, while American citizens cannot have a cross in their own communities, American taxpayers are funding the repair and rebuilding of mosques and minarets around the world. Rather than drawing funds from the UN or oil wealthy countries who seem to disappear in the face of need, American taxpayers' purpose, according to the DOJ, is to preserve the cultural heritage of these countries. 
  And, yet, do we not preserve our own?
  Though government dollars are not to be used to fund religious organizations, particularly internationally, ("USAID funds may not be used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of structures to the extent that those structures are used for inherently religious activities."), the DOJ determined that it was justifiable in the face of religious structures that were "culturally significant."
  So the Mojave Desert cross which commemorated the deaths of American soldiers isn't "culturally significant?"
  The memorial crosses posted at the side of Utah roads to commemorate the deaths of state troopers are not "culturally significant," but mosques in other countries are?
  Where is the religious tolerance, on which we are so frequently lectured, to our own traditions? The countries from which many of the NYC mosque proponents originate do not tolerate Christians or Jews, do not allow the infidels to even travel the road to Mecca, do not allow churches or synagogues to be built in their countries, yet those who oppose the building of what they perceive as a victory mosque a block or two away from 9/11 are bigots, regardless of what happened nine years ago?
