Only if they could provide adult supervision of Slow Joe for the trip. Just ponder for a moment the absolute stupidity that has come from the mouth of “Stand Up Chuck” ... His Arrogance is bad enough.
I thought he was on the golf course during that time. Must not have been any weddings to interrupt, so he stayed “home.”
>>murder makes freedom of speech pretty darn irrelevant.
There's no shortage of historical instances where people were murdered by the state-establishment for nothing more than daring to criticize those who assumed dominion over them.
The "peaceful religion" (as one of your fellow naval nucular engineers likes to call it) of Islam is no exception.
"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them. ""I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD ETERNAL HOSTILITY TO EVERY FORM OF TYRANNY OVER THE MIND OF MAN"--The Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom
--Thomas Jefferson, 1786

Yes. And in all those cases, the fact that they were KILLED is of greater importance than the fact that their freedom of speech was compromised. But, in this case, the rally in favor of freedom of speech will not do a thing for freedom of speech. It was a photo op socialist heads of state to pretend that they give a crap about freedom of anything.
>>the rally in favor of freedom of speech
It wasn’t a rally in favor of freedom of speech - at least not on CNN.
They repeatedly cited freedom of the “press”.
Fallible and uninspired “journalists” have assumed dominion over the faith of others.
>>the fact that they were KILLED is of greater importance than the fact that their freedom of speech was compromised.
The murder of the censored goes along with a culture that requires censorship to exist.
Ask your fellow naval nucular engineer how that works in “peaceful Islam”.
