On Building a Mosque in a Sacred Place

What is so hard to understand?
Bigotry is un-American.
Yes, the bloodstains on our history are real,
but they are betrayals of the ideals
enshrined by Declaration & Constitution.
Those engaged in this political prostitution--
i.e. mongering hate to pave a path to power--
unleash forces that would leave the land devoured
by a maelstrom of bigotry & hate.
Remember this while it is not yet too late:
This land of immigrants & invaders,
and those enduring few surviving natives,
was not defined by race or even place,
but by a doctrine that the purpose of the state
is to defend our life & liberty
from those who  persecute by race or creed.
And besides-- is not kind of treason to
conspire to prove the terrorist libels true?
We must all mark these bigots--
mark their words--their names
for history to memorialize with shame.
