OH........and this question is so bizarre that it does nothing more than make me laugh. The only one threatening and making up garbage about people who disagree with him is YOU.
Words mean things, newbie. So I recommend you stop swimming in the deep end with your dopey ad hominems insuring that no one on this board will ever take you seriously.
btw, I won't forget your name now. 'realetybytes' - daffy newbie who throws around the most incendiary insults and reveals his own lack of rational thought (causing serious doubt that he is not a DU troll).
See you around..........or not.
Just trying to get a baseline, it’s hard to keep up when you change the rules as you see fit. That’s why they wrote the rules down, so they would know what freedoms we held dear, and wanted them to protect, in our name.
I’m glad you agree he had the right to burn that koran. We all know that was just that days reason for the cultists to attack Americans.
Petraus made a political statement. In it, he derided the document he has sworn to defend.
Instead of saying that Americans of all stripes learn to live peacefully amongst flag-burners, KKK lovers, Christian bashers and numerous other amazingly insulting things we all most certainly do not agree with. That with the freedom of America, you do not have to conform to others religious views. The government has no say in religious matters, except to ensure, through men like himself, that no one infringes on their right to avail themselves of that freedom.
In that way, everyone is able to practice their beliefs in peace and safety.
Instead of taking the opportunity to point out all that freedom means, and what America truly stands for, the general chose to talk down to a sovereign citizen pointing out the freedoms in America as opposed to the shackles of a violent, bully cult.
If it comes to standing with someone who wants to exercise his right to speak, no matter how ugly that speech, or someone that wants the right, under any circumstance, to decide to kill me if I happen to say or do anything they don’t like, well, I don’t have a problem making that decision.
Col. West protected his men. General Petraeus’s words did his men no favor.
Osama Bin Laden referred to us as a paper tiger as we bend to their complaints. I wonder why they think that...?
