Nice article...Most of the points I've heard elsewhere but the author did a nice job of bring them all together, along with a few points I'd yet to read anywhere.

Two things...

Most Americans are ignorant. I don't say to disrespect anyone but most people don't make much of an effort to learn about issues like this, the historical context, etc. We're too happy to flick on our favorite cable news channel or talk show for 20 minutes, accept most if not all of what we hear and then feel as if we're informed.

Most of us aren't.

I try to follow politics on a daily basis and the one thing I've discovered is that there's always another layer to peel back for more info or insight.

The other point I want to make is while the Constitution protects their right to proceed on that location, it would be a very smart marketing move to simply find another spot simply out of politeness and respect.
