So, the next time there is a gay pride rally, they will cancel it. Cuz it’s taunting Christians. Right?
So k Greta. We civilians will,show up to protect Pam. No police needed. Just don’t get in the way of our second amendment rights. BTW we will also be able to protect you at malls, theaters, restaurants, offices, schools, you know the places the rag hats like to murder innocents. One more thing, get off your knees Greta, it is not becoming for a free American to bow down to such murders and it is not worthy of our American heritage.
She might as well say “Protect our police. Don’t let them guard controversial politicians or celebrities who may draw the fire of extremist nut jobs”
“My message is simple — protect our police. Do not recklessly lure them into danger and that is what happened in Garland, Texas at the Mohammed cartoon contest,”
Does she make the same argument for sending troops to nation build in areas where the population wants them to go to hell and is more than happy to assist?
Not everyone agrees with such a choice.
It is my understanding that the security contingent at the event was paid for by the event organizers. They were not arbitrarily called in to a violent situation caused by the event. Greta was just looking for another angle to the story and failed miserably.
Greta needs to wear a burka, showing herself uncovered is an insult to muslims...what...if one is going to submit to islam on speech then might as submit on other issues as well.
Laura Ingraham wore a sleeveless dress—highly offensive to Muslims—as she denounced Pamela Geller and the Draw Mohammed contest for offending Muslims.
Yes, that’s right Greta...just stick your head in the sand. Give in...submit....don’t upset the crazy people. Just give up your first amendment rights to the nutters.
“Everyone knew this event would unglue some who might become violent,” said Van Susteren.
The rights expressed in our Constitution are absolute and are explicitly understood to be given not by government, but by the Creator. At the same time, these rights are not only limited in number and quality, but also limited in expression and practice. A self-governing population is permitted, if not obligated, to defend these rights and establish the limits of their expression. We do a disservice to ourselves and those who follow us if we do not understand what “rights” truly are, and how they are best defended and practiced.
Excesses of limitation (tyranny), and excesses of permission (lawlessness), must be avoided. That is what government is for, and what the word “government” means. This is why we do not interpret the Second Amendment in such a way as to place weapons into the hands of the criminally insane, and why we do not interpret the First Amendment in such a way as to encourage yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater. It is best if those entrusted with self-governance are acquainted with natural and revealed law, as these will inculcate and guide the most peaceful and prosperous results. It is also important, when establishing laws and enforcing them, that some allowance is made for mercy.
Beware of extremes. There is much benefit to receive and impart in avoiding extremes. Extremes lead to genocide, both inside and outside the womb. A civil being ought to be aware of, and take responsibility for, the consequences of behavior. Without such awareness a person is not really free.
We happen to live in an age where the words “I don’t think that’s a good idea” are somehow taken as an extreme insult, or a suggestion that such behaviors need to be outlawed. Perhaps this is the fruit of a litigious society. The fact is, civilization works better with clear and cordial discourse, respect, intelligence, patience, and other virtues. There most certainly is a place for force, but force is, as most grown ups know, a last resort. In view of the left’s propensity for dumbing down their clientele, force will eventually be brought to bear upon the lawless, both from below and from Above.
Means nothing to the religion of perpetual outrage.
This is about, specifically, the careerist, cowardly, go-along-to-get-along mores of the Upper Middle Class, the class of people whose parents were all college educated, and of course are college educated themselves; the class that dominates our thought-transmitting institutions (because non-college educated people are more of less shut out of this industry).
It is a class which is deathly afraid of social stigma, and lives in class-based fear being grouped with the wrong people, and which is more interested in Career, quite frankly, than in the actual tradecraft of that Career, which is clarity of thought and clarity of expression.
Thus, our institutions of thought propagation are dominated by the very people who can be easily cowed by the Social Justice Warriors, and who will, therefore, adjust their speech in order to not run afoul of the thoughtless -- and frequently lunatic -- thugs of the censorious left.
The very people we need to be most immune to the menaces of stigma, and the blandishments of career advancement, are, due to the absolute primacy of the Upper Middle Class imperative of advancing one's career and avoiding scandal, stigma, and controversy, the very people most sensitive to such distortions.
[...]
This is why we have no actual conservative movement worth a damn: Because our political officers and our thought leaders are all drawn from, and aspire to advance in, the same Upper Middle Class Northeast-and-California cultural consensus of "respectability."
This makes me even angrier than Van Susteren's idiocy. To the majority of people on this planet, Mohammed is a prophet of NOTHING, since the majority of people on this planet believe there is no god named Allah. Yet the media repeatedly refer to him as "Prophet".
In the name of simple fairness, they should also refer to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ whenever they write about Christianity.
She is a woman who makes a good living depending on free speech rights, but only if the she bitch approves of the speech.
hey greta, ESAD.
Hey Greta!
Ska-rew the pedophile!
And you, and the horse you rode in on.
Ms. Geller’s organization was essentially protesting. They are protesting the Muslim agenda. Protesting is a profound right of free people.
Muslims who come here know we have free speech. If they cannot tolerate free speech, they should leave.
The cartoon contest event “lured” two would-be terrorists who got blown away by an Arlington traffic cop(s). And that’s was a good thing.
Greta,
I don’t like people desecrating the flag. The people that do so are provoking anger.
What’s the difference? You expect me to be civil when provoked but not muslims?
Well, the modicum of respect I had for Greta just evaporated. Sorry Greta but you’re not only wrong you’re a coward.
