The people that were screwing over the military in the 60s, were the politicians that were in their 50s and 60s.
I think that a lot of us here agree that the Pastor has placed himself in extraordinary danger, the man has put himself, by name, on a global death list, and they know where he lives and works.
Naming a few individuals doesn’t change the point, the American leadership in the 1960s was among the most anti-military group ever in America, but there have been many such periods, like the 1930s, the Indian wars and so on, very different than today for instance when the military is getting relatively strong support from the government.
Today is probably the best period to have ever been in the American military.
I don't have direct evidence. I do know that the pastor of the Dove Church has praised the Westboro Church, which is highly disturbing but indicative of an extremist Leftist ideology.
It also follows history that when the Left is in trouble, it fans the flames of racial and religious strife to create a safety zone where it can reassert itself as an agent of diplomacy and thus relevance.
Well, some liberals are braver than others. They're not all cookie cutter, or they would be easier to deal with.
The liberals in power, who hide in their little socialite bubbles, are the who are most afraid and hide behind the liberal extremists, like the Dove Church or SEIU, IMO.
"This a knock down, drag out, no holds barred fight to the death...... Problem is, right now only one side understands what’s at stake here and is willing to fight it for the fight it is..... Meanwhile the other side continues to try to buy their way out of the war with appeasement."
It’s been tried before, time and again. Always with the same outcome. The appeaser loses, usually big time.
Fig leaf? You're very amusing.
My aim, really, is to avoid unecessary conflagerations against those who may not be active combatants againsts us so that one, the enemy doesn't grow larger and more powerful, and two, so that our enemy can be isolated and dealt with.
Burning the Koran is more of a mastubatory act, though probably satisfying, but really doesn't weaken the Islamofscists in any real way.
Does burning the Koran set back Iranian nuclear development?
No.
Does burning the Koran prevent the Saudis' and other rich Muslim countries from funding terrorist operations?
No.
Does burning the Koran help kill Sharia loving Taliban fighters?
No.
Does burning Korans unite Americans against Muslim radicals?
No.
Does burning Korans magically turn mainstream journalists from communists and terrorist collaborators into human beings?
No.
Burning Korans does little except recruit more Muslim terrorists and give ammunition to the American Left so that they may further oppress Americans by claiming we are irrational as our history supposedly illustrates and separate us even further from our Constitutional rights.
Your support for the Islamofacist is palpable.. as is your skill in attempting make this a debate about a specific act.
Which of course I have not taken the bait and now you fail.
Either protected political speech is protected political speech or it is not..
If it is protected political speech to crap on the American Flag.. Desecrate Christian Symbols such as Portraying the Virgin Mary as a whore, the Christ as a Homosexual...Filling a jar with Urine and placing a cross in it..
Then for the Government to involve itself at the highest levels to prevent a similar offensive act of political speech when another group or Ideology is the target.
That itself an act of complicity, support or surrender to the group they have singled out to afford special privilege to.
When you have public officials from Fire Chiefs to the Executive Office trying to deny anyone their first Amendment Rights.. When you have the same media that insists on their unassailable right to print information such as Wikileaks has done jeopardizing the lives of Americans and our Allies in the same fashion.. but then state they will not cover a specific political act which arguably will have the same effect..
That is beyond Hypocrisy.. it is overt support for a very real and well funded enemy who very obviously has many friends in high places.
No doubt largely bought and paid for... and the question remains to Western Dhimmis/Traitors to the West.. by the word or month?

I never said burning a Koran isn't protected political speech. I simply said that it shouldn't be done because of the negative consequences..
I never said Americans don't have the right to burn Korans, or any book for that matter.
But you have the right to believe whatever you want even there are things that shouldn't be believed, like say, my supposed dhimmitude.
I've been put down for being a birther and now I'm being accused of being pro-Islamofascist.
WTF?!
