"the freest city in the world"

Mayor Bloomberg on supporting the proposed mosque and community center near the WTC site.

"This nation was founded on the principle that the government must never choose between religions or favor one over another. The World Trade Center site will forever hold a special place in our city, in our hearts. But we would be untrue to the best part of ourselves and who we are as New Yorkers and Americans if we said no to a mosque in lower Manhattan."

An excellent, excellent speech. You can view the video here.

p.s. It's nice that he uses the word repudiate correctly. Unlike that Alaskan ignoramus.
