Now Lindsey Graham is suggesting that we should further erode our freedom of speech in order to protect the Koran. Here is the link:

This stuff is clearly crazy. It’s one thing for General Petraeus to advise restraint from inflaming the enemy, but it’s another to suggest that we further erode our freedoms in order to have the government control what we can say and do.

Graham is truly a piece of work.

He also illustrates nicely why neo-isolationism is a pretty good policy for the US in the present-day world. Close the borders, stop the attempts to try various third-world hellholes into Norway and maintain a strong enough army and navy to dissuade piracy and large wars between states. That´s it.

They agree with Lindsey.
