If Rev. Sharpton or Rev. Jackson were denied free speech, their followers would riot in the streets. We’ve seen it before.

Gen. Petraeus warned that if Pastor Jones burned the Korans publicly, he was putting American troops in danger and harming the war effort. Pastor Jones didn’t care about American troops. Why do you care about him?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past, ohhh....1,300 years, “infidels” have been under constant threat from muslims...and Americans of all form, troops included, do not need to have a Jones figure do anything to put them under threats from muslims.

Our troops have been targeted and killed long before Jones popped up with his street theater.

Don’t play that game, it doesn’t fly.

American troops, serving in a war zone, are already in danger. Surely this has not escaped your attention?

We are at war against “some muslims.” Some like minded muslims are here on our soil. Reverend Jones, like the rest of us, enjoys the right to freedom of speech. Well, except in Dearborn, Mi., where Islam already rules.

I care about the right of Reverend Jones to enjoy his right to freedom of speech. How would you like your freedom of speech to be denied?

Can freedom of speech be abused? Sure it can. We know it is. But we can’t limit those with whom we disagree, without compromising our own. I get it. Do you?
