You have not explained why SC people want this individual in the Senate. I think it is just a lack of knowledge.

Lindsey Graham can get bent. Americans do not cut others' heads off for them burning bibles or the US flag, nor standing on it for a picture like Bill Ayers, so muslims can just learn to deal with it.

Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I do not see anything in there stating, "except where inconvenient to certain politicians or special interest groups, nor during time of conflict with muslims."

It's about time Americans start acting like it.

The Second Amendment is in case people like Lindsey Graham are hard of hearing.

Remember too that DeMint is a big backer of Lindsey; did Lindsey return the favor in 2010, I think he did.

"...free speech is a great idea, but we're in a war."

Further, we have not prosecuted this last few conflicts like a war. If it's war, turn the military loose and win it. Beat the enemy into submission. That's how we fight a war.

Don't you get it? This is how our "leaders" view the world:

Muslims burn a Bible. Christians riot and kill people. = Christians at fault.

Christians burn a koran. Muslims riot and kill people. = Christians at fault.

As if the first scenario would ever happen to begin with. Ask the Saudis what happens to Bibles that find their way into Arabia.

We can ban Koran burning when the Islamist ban Bible burning... or for that matter when they ban Christian burning or beheading... Oh - that’s not going to happen - oh yeah ...

Has DeMint agreed with the idiot?

Otherwise what does this have to do with anything.
LG is up for reelect in 2012 I believe.

Yet ANOTHER discussion on this Terry Jones crap that totally ignores the fact that NO ONE in Afghanistan knew about the burning for 4 days after it happened, UNTIL KARZAI ANNOUNCED IT IN KABUL! Then Imam’s picked it up and whipped Muzzies into a frenzy in Friday prayers. It is Karzai’s fault! Why didn’t this happen in Pakistan like it usually does? Because their gov’t didn’t choose to make it an issue.

"You are absolutely right. People were allowed to say whatever they wanted as long as they didn’t reveal military movements, etc."

You can ask Wolf Blitzer and the rest of Communist News Network about that. Why were they never held accountable, Graham, you pansy?

I can only wonder if the good Senator and his fellow excuse makers would get the message that the American people have had it with their ‘leaders’ BS rationalizations for the fact that they themselves have shackled the American military and are wholly responsible for continuing Muslim violence and terror.

We could have ended this years ago, just as the British brought control to that sandbox in their time.

Fact: Muslims will follow their mullahs and more specifically, the Koran regardless of how many female soldiers wear headscarves or how many Korans are burnt.

Fact: The American Military has the manpower, weaponry, skill and desire to end this garbage yesterday.

Fact: Obama and Republican sellouts are responsible for the shackles that prevent this.

One can only wonder what would happen if the public forced their hand. What if the public burned 100,000 or more Korans and keep doing it day after day after day. All across the fruited plain. What if the public stood up and left the administration no choice but actually fighting the war that Muslims have announced and carry out daily on the infidels?

They are slaughtering innocent christians now. Do we keep letting it happen and make excuses about “offending them” or do we recognize that we didn’t start this, war is hell and people die.

And yes, I have a dog in the fight... a child in the military who has served the tour of the sand box.

There was a post here a while back that I can’t find now that had a link to a short story by Dan Simmons that really put things into perspective. Fiction? Time will tell.

So is Sen. Pantywaste implying that it is acceptable to kill someone as long as someone else burned a Bible?

Strange times. It is perfectly fine to mock Christians in all respects, but someone burns a koran and it is a “hate” crime.

Funny thing is I didn’t know we were an islamic nation.
