“Freedom of Expression” is NOT a phrase in the Constitution. What is guaranteed is freedom of speech. The former term is an invention of the courts. And is quite recent in our history. If the Founders had meant freedom of expression they would have said that clearly since their ability to communicate and understand were unparalleled far beyond the mental midgets of our era.
Can you imagine what people here say in the 19th century would have done to an “artist” who dunked the cross in urine? They would never have argued that this was his right under freedom of expression.
But all that aside, who can argue that this was a good idea?
Who can argue that it was a Christian thing to do? Who can argue that it does not aid our national interest? That is all I am speaking about but that does not stop the whackjobs from acting as though I am the Twelfth Iman or pray to Mecca five times a day.
Who said it was a good idea?

My point is that we don't respond to the retaliatory behavior with appeasement.
If I were calling the shots, we'd respond in kind. Only moreso.
