We have something here called ‘Freedom of Speech’ and YOU more than ANYONE represent that freedom.

Don't be ridiculous. Of course we have Freedom of Speech which is why General Dempsey had to ASK the idiot pastor to stop endangering American lives and did not ORDER him to do so.

You've been here since 2003 and haven't learned a damn thing!

So you think the 1st Amendment should be amended to specify who and who can not can be offended?

It's ok to offend Christians because they don't riot and kill people, but can't offend muslims because they riot and kill people.

P.S. - Generals can not order civilians to do anything except under marshall law.

Maybe if the Marxist General could find a better strategy to neutralize the Islamic threat he would not have to call a small town preacher and beg him to back off.

Are you kidding me?

First of all, he's not endangering the life of Citizens of the United States. 

Second, you should damn well know that. 

Third, terrorists are endangering the Citizens of the United States. 

Fourth, you should damn well know that. 

Fifth, intimidating Citizens of the United States so they can't exercise their First Amendment rights, using General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, by phone on Wednesday and asking them to withdraw their support for a film whose portrayal of the Prophet Mohammad, is a violation of the Constitution of the United States. 

Sixth, you should damn well know that.

Seventh, this act by Martin Dempsy, chairman of the United States Military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, was unconstitutional, and grounds that should result in his removal from office immediately.

Eighth, you should damn well know that.

Nineth, a person is not an idiot if they merely reveal history and truth.

Tenth, you should damn well know that.

Eleventh, you shouldn't be defending any of this.

Twelveth, you should know that too.

Other than these twelve points, your post was was that of a sage.

Don't be rediculous?  Exactly!

“General Dempsey had to ASK the idiot pastor to stop endangering American lives and did not ORDER him to do so.”

That is just dumb. DUMB.
al qaeda will say anything to justify their actions.
This has nothing to do with the pastor.

Perhaps you could blame 9/11 on the pastor as well.

It was what it was. An attack on America on 9/11.
An act of war.

Now that the current administration claims that they
buy their b.s. and sends the message that we are weak they (A.Q.) will be back.

NOW that's endangering American lives.

Don't YOU be ridiculous! Does somebody have to write "INTIMIDATION" on a shovel and hit you in the face with it for you to get the point? This was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs! Are you some kind of moron, or what?!

“the idiot pastor”

Why is the pastor an idiot for confronting Islam..

Islam is antithetical to America AND it is also irreconcilable with America.

As Islam demands we convert, become slaves of Muslims, or be killed, we must kill them first. Not too hard to understand, is it?

After all, that “idiot” understands.

"Don't be ridiculous. Of course we have Freedom of Speech which is why General Dempsey had to ASK the idiot pastor to stop endangering American lives and did not ORDER him to do so."

One of the primary duties of our US military forces is to defend our US Constitution. The Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff should not be calling any pastor to so much as ask him to avoid criticizing or even ridiculing a religion of an enemy against the USA and our allies.

Either fight the war or not. Civilian-like police work alone will not work.

Perhaps this idiot pastor is tired of his Coptic brothers and sisters in Egypt being persecuted, beaten, crucified, and killed. One can only take so much and he expressed himself legally.
