Let's take a look at it this whole situation from outside our own political parameters and reply sensibly with no insults and name calling.
That being said, what we have here is obviously a volatile situation, duh !
Pastor Jones had intended to burn these books in protest to the NYC Mosque. Ok, it is within his 1st A rights, am I correct? He is expressing his feelings about Islam. He is not repressing anyone, he is not hurting anyone. Now, all over the MidEast, the Islamic religion is up in arms about Jones' intentions, understood, and General Pertaeus, whom Barry and the left were kicking in stones 6,7 years ago makes a statement that the fit may hit the shan and the soldiers may be in danger. WHAT ? Weren't the soldiers put in harms way when they invaded Iraq and the 'Stan?
Still, I have yet to hear any warnings here in the states, kind of reminds you of 10SEP01 huh? Just sayin....:shrug:
And... The POTUS chastises REV Jones for this "stunt" I want to hear him tear into someone for burning my flag ! For calling troops baby killers with no evidence ! You want to be a leader Barry, kick the right people in the teeth. We have realize no matter how much you despise Jones' statement it MUST BE PROTECTED ! We cannot allow the sabre rattling of the the jerk offs in the Mid East to dictate what OUR 1ST AMMENDMENT RIGHTS ARE ! So what will we allow the Islamic Nut Balls dictate to our leaders ?
Women's Rights, Gay's Rights, Blacks Rights to vote? Think about the oppression that goes on in Iran, it's a slippery slope that is being challenged here with this issue.
I really hope we can turn this thread into a rational one instead of an F/U contest !
Peace and good luck on the games this weekend ! :toast: :0008
