There are no rights enumerated to kill, bomb, maim, poison, stone, behead, disembowel, etc.

There is the right for such people as Jones to demonstrate and exercise free speech, so long as he doesn’t do such things as kill, bomb, maim, poison, stone, behead, disembowel, etc.

Recall, if you will, SCOTUS has already determined that burning Old Glory is free speech. So is piling crap on a portrait of the Virgin Mary and dunking a crucifix into urine. While those acts are offensive, they are “legal”. So too is the lighting up of a rag such as the koran.

Folks may not like it. Too bad. It’s settled.

I don’t think we disagree on anything here, except possibly your remark that “It’s settled.”

Things are very rarely settled for all time.

I never suggested you belong to me, matter of fact, nobody belongs to me, perhaps I misread, but my liberal warning sensors were going off heh.

Islam is not a religion, it’s a theocracy, and it has it’s own set of laws governing from birth to death which is not in the slightest compatible with the constitution. I don’t know why you insist on defending a cult of death, they’ve brought nothing to the table. The fact that there are so many in the military is very troublesome, they can turn when they get the word they are to do so.

Nothing unconstitutional about deporting all the muslims on the basis of their law they insist on following violates the very document you made reference to.

However, I feel I am wasting my time on you, appease away, or join them if you haven’t already.

Unless there’s a sea change in quite a few areas, we’re stuck with the general degeneracy that infests too much of our political ruling class.
