Well what else can we burn on “Burn a Koran Day?”

I’m hoping that I will never be beheaded. Oh, the irony.

Our nation due to lack of will to fight is headed into a dictatorship. It may well be an Islamic one. In the 1980's our president had the guts to face our then biggest threat military wise and demand he tear that wall down. We went from that to apeasement and national fear of a Pagan religion in war and conflict with the teachings and laws against our Judeo/Christian Creator GOD in four presidents. All done in the name of diversity and Political Correntness.

Whatever you think of our current ROE, it is a fact that giving a high-profile international platform to 2 pastors to burn the Koran DEFINITELY puts our people in danger. These soldiers who are serving us with their lives take priority over 2 pastors who can burn a book in the comfort of their homes IMO.

OK...change the ROE's if you can vote the right people into office, but also be realistic about the effect that that those internet videos would have on the stone-age peoples in Afganistan and Iraq and do what you can to save American lives TODAY which means imploring the pastors to stop.

Again I say Apeasement does not win wars and is seen as victory by the Islamic leadership. Did you support George McGovern as well then?

BTW what do I think of our current ROE? I think Joshua was given the right answers from GOD. Joshua chapters 8-10. Now there is some rules of engagement for war the do’s and don’ts.. Don’t like them? Take it up with the one who set them.

Neither does incitement which leads to escalation. You may believe in getting our kids killed unecessarily...I don't.

Let's fight the necessary battles and not manufacture unnecessary ones.

There are some who want escalation from the safe area around their keyboard. What they should be doing is to create a volunteer army of the similar minded to go there and put their boots where there mouth is and show Petraeus how it should be done. However, that would not fit their style.

Apeasement brought us to a draw in Korea with a thug we deal with today. Apeasement brought us a loss of Vietnam. How much more Bloody Apeasement do you wish to inflict upon our troops? I say unleash them unconditionally for battle and be done with it or come home NOW!

If our leaders had allowed the troops to do their duty to start with we would likely not be at war today now would we? Apeasement of Islam by Ford, Carter, Poppy Bush, and Clinton brought us the attack on 9/11 can't you understand at least that much? Junior Bush sure didn't help matters either with his Religion Of Peace Nation Building Nonsense.

Exactly.

If burning a Koran is so heroic, why aren't all these Freepers doing it?

Truth is...burning a book accomplishes exactly nothing.

Ok then you tell me. If FDR, Truman to a lesser extent, Patton, McArthur, etc had followed the war policies of today where do you think we would be? What do you think the outcome of WW2 would have actually been? Appeasement by the world of Hitler {not rocking the boat in fear of him} and ignoring the murder of innocent sons and daughters of Israel brought us into WW2. Do you think like Bush that Islam is a religion of peace also?

Do you think Nathan Bedford Forrest worried about appeasement or the feelings of the enemy? How about William T Sherman? He sure didn't.

Our nation may just be waking up and saying enough is enough and get the guts to actually get behind our troops and allow them to fight unconditionally as it should be. Then again some Toads like their comfy pool of water and don't want any wakes. Ah the temperatures just right say the toads in the warming pot don't disturb it please.

McNutz and McSpineless are so predictable.

I hope DeMint is the new Senate Majority Leader come January and he puts both these weasles on an oversight committee for federal latrines.

What we need are some real leaders who will stane up to these monsters and say “BRING IT ON! We’ll take out 10 of you for every one we lose.”
Right now we’re playing a losing game.

In the early founding of our nation an outraged man shoouted words that would be in history books for over 200 centuries. "Give me Liberty or Give Me Death".

Today we have people saying we must be passive and quiet and not enrage our enemy they might get angry and hurt us.

Meghan reminds me of a contemporary version of Anita Ekberg or Mae West. Anita and Mae were probably lots smarter.

If we are lucky enough to overcome the rat voter fraud and get the House back, Boehner needs to NOT be made Speaker. If a miracle occurs and we get the Senat back, McConnell, whom I used to like a lot, should NOT be made Leader and McShame should be completely neutered, stripped of all committee positions. He can go sit on a park bench.

I haven’t seen Sarah Palin weigh in on this issue at all. She’s probably wise to keep her lips zipped. Bummer would love to see the GOP get gratuitously polarized over this.

“Meghan reminds me of a contemporary version of Anita Ekberg or Mae West.”

‘First time I have ever seen her in person.’

I think I should have said seen her live. Always before she was always shown in a small picture and I could only hear her voice. No doubt that Anita and Mae were smarter. She strikes me as being sharp as a marble!

How many US flags have these so called peace lovers burnt? Screw them. Warp that dang book in pig fat and then apply heat. Send the ashes to the nearest mosque.
