How Emotion Can Damage America
Bill O'Reilly Talking Points ^ | May 7, 2015 | Bill O'Reilly

Posted on 05/07/2015 5:45:02 PM PDT by Chgogal

The debate continues to rage over whether an anti-Muslim group was justified in insulting every Muslim on the planet.

As you may know, two jihadis were killed by a brave police officer in Garland, Texas on Sunday after they tried to storm a conference held by the American Freedom Defense Initiative.

The dead men deserved what they got.

But the incident was ignited by a contest featuring cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

Any depiction of that Islamic icon is a sin in the Muslim world.

Many Americans believe the provocation was legitimate under freedom of speech.

But that is not the issue. No one I know favors curtailing speech in this case.

The issue is whether the exposition was the right thing to do.

A Romney presidency would have been a bit different perhaps, but his agenda paralleled Obama's.

Under a Romney presidency, the gun control bill of 2013 would now be law, amnesty would be a done deal, and today, Nancy Pelosi would have her old job back while Harry Reid would be keeping his.

Shariappeasers like O’Reilly are saying that since violent inbred muzzies are unable to control themselves, that the rest of us “infidels” must curtail our rights of expression under the First Amendment of the Constitution.

Bullcr@p!!! We either live under the Bill of Rights, or we live under Shariah, bottom line!!

The Bill of Rights also includes the Second Amendment and since this is not Egypt or Pakistan that we live in, the “infidels” are armed and ready to defend themselves with deadly force as it appears they already have.

Dip your bullets in pig grease, and go forth and do well!

Dear "O'Really?"

I know you are a scum sucking liberal but I have heard this sort of garbage from the right in this country too.

They point at abortion, homosexuality, prostitution or some other horror and delicately sob into their lace hankies about how such things are why the mohammedans hate us.

They are just as full of bull as you are.

By mohammedan principals having a drawing of Jesus is as bad as having a drawing of their pedophile prophet. (Pee be upon him).

Church bells offend them. Women going to the store by themselves offends them. Pictures of pigs offend them. My being able to read and write offends them. 1930's church socials were cess pools of immorality and that offended them.

Sorry honey child but everything on God's sweet green earth offends them and frankly I don't care.

Killing people because you are offended is wrong.

These emotional two year olds can either grow up or die trying to kill everyone who offends them.

And you can take your whine and delicate feelings and sit on them and spin until you throw up.
