Lindsey Graham want to make burning Koran illegal
American Conservative Values ^ | 3 April 2011 | Cato Uticensis

In response to quack preacher Terry Jones burning the Koran, Senator Lindsey Graham wants to put limits on free speech. Perhaps the RINO Senator from South Carolina knows this, but his ambition is unconstitutional and as a lawyer Lindsey Graham should know this.

Lindsey Graham want to make the burning of the Koran illegal

Politico reports:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a military lawyer, is the first member of Congress to say the legislature needs to explore the possibility, however unlikely, of limiting some kinds of free speech – like Terry Jones’ Quran burning – that help America’s enemies.

“I wish we could find a way to hold people accountable. Free speech is a great idea, but we’re in a war,” he told CBS’s Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation.”

“During World War II, we had limits on what you could do if it inspired the enemy,” Graham said, adding that he wanted to do “anything we can to push back here in America against acts like this that put our troops at risk.”

Someone call this bathturd and ask him what authority he or Congress has to pass such a ban.

Lindsey Graham is an enemy of the state who should be recalled and prosecuted for violation of the oath of office.

Graham is of the same ilk as Neville Chamberlain. Effete cowards without the guts to stand up to evil. Usually other people eventually step up to fight and destroy the evil, but only after fools like Graham have brought our civilization to the precipice. Fortunately the Jihadis aren’t nearly as competent and efficient as the Nazis were and people are becoming aware of the problem because we have an alternate media that can’t control and hide the truth any more.

It’s ironic, b/c the first thing moslems plan to do is murder all the gays.

AKA they’re gonna murder Lindsey Graham.

Perhaps he’s a self-hating gay, and feels he deserves brutal murder at the hands of baconphobes?

While we are building a list of unconstitutional activities we should add the election of politicians with progressive/socialist/Marxist proclivities.

Bought and paid for by CAIR, et al. Ever notice how muslims don't try their bullshit in China or North Korea? Stop encouraging them by doing and saying nothing!

Maybe after SC censures him again, we should explore repealing the 17th Amendment.

A few years ago, I would have thought something like this would be satire.

No longer, it is all too terrifying and real.

General Petraeus also chimed in, basically giving the Islamic murderers cover and justification for their brutality:

Gen. Petraeus Blasts 'Hateful' Koran Burning

Obama also gave a moral equivalence to burning the Koran (and yes, I spell it that way) - and beheading innocents after torturing them.

Here is what I see coming: worldwide capitulation to Islam, international Sharia Law, UN mandates on what they will "accept" for free speech, and Islam conquering the once Christian west.

All forms terrorism against Christians and Jews will be permitted, but any type of "blasphemy" against Islam will not be tolerated.
