you & me both, brother.
It may take some doing, but the next president needs to fire the entire staff of the State Department and purge out all the Islamophiles, anti-Semites, and anti-Americans. No previous administration has sought to do this. This goes back to the days of FDR and perhaps beyond.
Does he feel the same way about the bible burnings they’ve had?
“Crowley was commenting on plans by the fifty-member Dove World Outreach Center in Gainseville, Florida”
What is this person thinking? The more they raise a fuss the worse they make the situation. If the administration thinks this is such a bad thing, then they should ignore it and stop giving it press. This is a FIFTY member group. This isn’t exactly high profile. The administration and General Petraus had given this group status by acknowledging them. And a ridiculous comparison between burning books verses killing innocent people is over the top.
I think it foolish to burn Korans...it doesn’t make you look that smart. However, if the administration trys to stop them...they are just as wrong themselves. There is just way too much wrong thinking going around here.
and from Hillary’s speech today.
We sit down together for this meal on a day when the news is carrying reports that a pastor down in Gainesville, Florida plans to burn the Holy Quran on September 11th. I am heartened by the clear, unequivocal condemnation of this disrespectful, disgraceful act that has come from American religious leaders of all faiths, from evangelical Christians to Jewish rabbis, as well as secular U.S. leaders and opinion-makers. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. Many of you know that in 1790, George Washington wrote to a synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, that this country will give to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.
It's obvious he's throwing November on purpose.
Perhaps everyone should chip in and burn a quran on the 11th.
Another clinging to our guns and bibles, suing Arizona, stupid cops arresting gates moment. Bambi will be 60% strongly disapproving before we know it.
No comparison.
The US State Dept HATES America.
Crowley must resign or be fired.
True, except for the 3,000 dead people.
Funny but I would bet their were more then a few Koran inside the WTC that burned on 9/11 along with Bibles, Torah, and 3000+ people
Some other posters think that Obama has masterminded this and is fueling the fire so to speak, that most of the loudest vocal derogatory hate filled rhetoric is paid Obama supporters.
And they are manipulating the Black Panthers into a whitey redneck cracker big gun shootout at OK corral event just so he has the spark to light the flame for a nationwide martial law.
I would avoid the church in Gainsville but I would organize a nationwide day of Patriotic Fire by burning a Koran day.
Islam shows its weakness when it meets truly dedicated defiance, even if its considered childish, I’m sure the 300 Spartans weren’t being total gentlemen when they decided to stand in the way of Xerxes.
Obama thinks he is a reincarnated Xerxes, above mortal men and beyond any impeachment which technically he is. When I came home from a day at work I was amazed at the amount of support and the courageous posters here at FR that have decided that they too will be Spartans.
To be defiant. To be American.
It would be amusing if they did. Alachua County is the only county in Florida that McGovern carried. I am really curious now as to who will be there and what all they will do. The sign said 6-9 pm. They will be given some kind of ticket I hear for burning without a permit.
I probably won’t but a part of me wants to go to Borders, buy a Koran, and burn it in my chiminea on my deck this Saturday. I’m really getting tired of this cr*p.
Doing this could be considered your constitutional expression of free speech, religion, and association. I could think of no other cult that deserves no respect more than Islam.
My suggestion is not to burn them, but to smoke them thoroughly over a good old-fashioned pork spare rib barbecue.
Then, mail them out to worthy recipients all over the muslim world.
They had a bunch of “interfaith christians” (read libs) on TV and one who might have been a bishop said that “this isn’t what our country was founded on, it was founded on love.” What a load of you know what!!!!
