Okay, okay it’s a little premature. But President Obama won the award and he hadn’t done a single thing to bring in world peace. Terry Jones went from being the most hated man alive to the one man in the country willing to stand up to Islam. After deciding to cancel, or at least postpone the burning of Qurans, perhaps he will even persuade one group of Muslims to back down from their plans to build a mosque two or three blocks from Ground Zero, the place where we lost thousands on 9/11. (Let's never forget they also attacked the Pentagon and would have killed more had brave souls not brought down Flight 93 near Shanksville, Pennsylvania).
...
Supposedly the lives of soldiers and American tourists everywhere were in danger because Terry Jones planned to burn a few hundred Qurans (Sometimes spelled Korans or Corans).
Thankfully, General David Petraeus can now get back to fighting the real war against those otherwise peace-loving Muslims in the Middle East. The ones threatening menace and mayhem if the offensive book-burning takes place or if the offensive mosque-building doesn’t take place. The ones yelling “Death to Christians”, “Death to America”, and “Death to Israel”! (Seriously, for a moment, do we really think terrorists need these thin excuses to kill us all? No, these things simply distract our politicians and military personnel from doing their jobs and sidetrack Christian ministers from preaching the True Gospel).
Would that General Petraeus had said this to the protesters: “The moment one of you turns from burning the American Flag to injuring or killing one of our soldiers or American Citizens, you’re toast! We are fighting for freedom, even the free speech rights of people we think are nuts.”

I kinda feel sorry for Patraeus because he’s going to be left hanging with an incomplete or failed campaign once America pulls out of Afghanistan. He goes from victory in Iraq to failure in Afghanistan — at the president’s bequest, kinda of a thank you for being too successful at the democrat’s expense.
I agree. My post was not intended to insult Petraeus personally but rather to point out the absurd position he has been placed in by his presidents. (I can’t help but think George Bush would have done the exact same thing.)
This attention-seeking pastor is an embarrassing stereotype and has more in common with Fred Phelps’ crew of mental patients than anyone else. The only thing he is accomplishing is riling up the Islamist nutbags and helping the Left/MSM paint conservatives as book-burning loons.
Now those terrorists are really mad!
The choice of Jones is no worse than the last Several winners for the Peace Prize.
the morew we get the mohammedans stirred up the more awake the world will become.
The pastor is shining a bright light into the medias dark secret and the leftists of the world don't like it.
Islam is a satanistic cult intent on destroying the world
You got it!
I like your tagline, John. We so often want God to Bless Us, we should be satisfied if he just spares us (please!)
