This administration is out of control.

Hillary is in charge of state department, recent articles of her possibly running in 2012 seems like a test of the public opinion.

The Pastor in Florida is Burning our Presidents book of Faith. Our Government is getting all wee weed up. How tragic. Will Holder now go to Florida with tanks and guns, like he did at Waco?

Or will Holder try to have the pastor stoned to death as called for under shariah law? Ya never know with this bunch..........

I saw video of her addressing this issue early this morning. She seemed enraged. We have to nominate a solid candidate this time around.

I called Undersecretary McHale’s office and her male administrative assistant was kind enough to listen as I demanded Crowley’s resignation due to his comments. I read the comments to him and said (1) someone should instruct Crowley that “terrorists” is a more accurate word than “bigots” and (2) Crowley had insulted not only the victims and their families but every American. I reminded the admin assistant that the 9/11 victims were killed solely for the “crime” of being Americans and for going to work. I also pointed out to the admin assist that if Undersecretary McHale doesn’t deal with Crowley’s assinine and insulting comments that the blacklash will hit her as well. The admin assistant stated I’d been the only one to call so far.

Wanna know something else? The bio for McHale states she worked for the Discovery Channel when it started. So I requested that the admin assist ask her how it feels to have friends attacked by terrorists. It might give her a clue to our outrage.

Burning paper is equivalent to murdering thousands of people? Burning books is unAmerican? When did American leadership become so irrational? It’s like we’re dropping down in the evolutionary ladder as I type. Must we coddle stupid people as a Spock-Mom would coddle her two-year-old throwing a tantrum in a restaurant? We have a Dr. Spock foreign policy.

From personal experience burning reams of defective, classified forms, I can testify it is surprisingly difficult to burn tightly packed sheets of paper (as in a book).

I would think that soaking the paper with kerosene or lighter fluid (NOT gasoline!) would produce a nice blaze.

This pastor and this church have a constitutional right, under freedom of speech and religion, to burn the koran, and anybody who says they don’t is an intolerant bigoted christianophobe.

On the other hand, building a mosque at ground zero needs to be called off immediately because it is: disgraceful, divisive, inolerant, idiotic and dangerous and will probably inspire violent attacks against Muslims.

"I would think that soaking the paper with kerosene or lighter fluid (NOT gasoline!) would produce a nice blaze."

Did you ever see a kerosene lamp or lantern? The paper serves as a wick, and is not consumed -- while the kerosene burns brightly. All you'll wind up with is a mostly-intact book that's blackened on the outside.

Without a generous supply of air, the packed sheets will hardly support combustion. Otherwise, the only alternative is to crumple up each individual sheet/page to increase the surface area exposed to the air...

One other way is to start with a big wood fire to make a large bed of coals -- then put the book atop the coals, leaving a bit of airspace so it doesn't smother he coals.

IOW, a closed book behaves much like a un-split hardwood log.

...unless we, as a nation and a people stand up to those terrorist threats and support this church against those terrorists, then that fate will belong to all of us who are not willing to submit to Allah.

Preach it, ‘cause that’s just what this is about. The Pastor may feel he is fighting a spiritual war against evil and I think he’s right, in that Americans must not allow nor be intimidated by Muslims and their goal of Sharia law.

“Obama State Dept. Spokesman: Koran Burning Protest Same as 9/11 Attacks”

Does that mean they’re in favor of building a Ground Zero Bible School?

Burn the Korans.

Repudiate the despot pedophile Muhammad in cartoon print.

Openly call out Islam for what it is - A religion of lies.

It is high time that Muslims start getting used to this type of behavior. Their disgusting double standards toward Christianity must be responded to in like in order to prove to them that they do not have any legitimacy over non-muslims.

Just maybe a dose of this form of sobering reality will take the fanaticism out of their sails to where violence, murder, and terrorism are neutered.

Christians who needlessly and wrongfully turn the other cheek to the point of becoming doormats have invited this islamic abuse.

The FBI probably has marching orders from Pelosi to investigate all those anti-American protesters of the Islamic faith and eventual domination of the world.

Empire of the Ants.
