No, actually, Palin didn’t say the same thing at all. Only Romney made the ridiculous charge that burning Korans “violated” a founding principle. Palin said no such thing.

Agreed, but I also agree with Palin's view of the Murder Mosque. They may have a "right" to do it, but it's wrong.

Until I read Grumplestiltskin's post #159, I'd have agreed with you hands-down that burning the Korans is wrong, and felt like I had good backing because folks I admire and respect like you, Palin, and Mark Levin (albeing others like Obama and Hillary are on the same page as well) agree.

Yet I must consider the insight of others whose judgment I have come to respect in terms of pure survival. My husband is an alpha guy with a warrior's instinct typical of that type, and his thoughts echo Rumplestiltskin's. I am coming to recognize that what I and Palin and you like to describe as "wrong" is in fact more accurately described as "uncomfortable." Necessary acts of aggression against those who would bully us are unpleasant. If those unpleasant tactics were used against a righteous or benign (b9!) force, they would certainly be "wrong."

But Islam is a malignant force. Islam is a bully, so it will quite necessarily require people with the courage to do unpleasant things to put it down. The truth is that something that is wrong in one circumstance is right in a different circumstance, not to be confused with "two wrongs making a right." This is a religious war, Islam vs. Judeo-Christianity, and no matter how much we wish it wasn't so, that is inevitably how it will play out.

Until people in America and the West accept the truth that this IS indeed a religious war, they will continue to be bullied and weakened. ONLY when they accept that this is a WAR against Islam, with all the attending brutality and "unsensitive" acts winning a war requires, can Islam's bullying and deadly dangerous threat be resolved. We are willing to tolerate Islam, yes -- the problem is that Islam refuses to reciprocate -- always has, and always will.
