If I were president here’s the rules:

You kill a Christian, we burn a koran in his honor.

Burning books only shows one’s ignorance.

"We are a government of laws and we have to abide by those laws…".....of course only as long as those laws support my agendas. You can be a Black Panther and intimidate white voters in Philly and get a pass, because it was his and Holder's "people" doing the law breaking.

no consistency at all. I wonder what his response would have been if a group of carpet kissers in this country burned Bibles in denouncement of the "Great Satan". Behind closed doors we might get a "winning!" gesture!

"we knew innocents would likely die"

Innocents will die FOR SURE no matter what anyone does or does not do because it is what Islam, the Koran, the Hadith and Mohammed the madblood thirsty prophet teaches their followers to do!

ISLAM = worships and serves Satan the god of death. Death and the sword is what Islam is at it's core. Nothing more, nothing less. This is why you NEVER have and NEVER will hear so-called "moderate" Muslims denounce the blood shead by those promoting Islam, because that is the CORE of their demonic "religious" cult.

Can we recall Breyer? He was alright with flag and Bible burning in the internet age. And the analogy to yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater isn’t valid. If there weren’t a fire, it’s a false assertion only meant to panic people into a stampede - is that the case here? Protecting the burning or destruction of symbols, including our own, as exercise of freedom of speech and freedom of religion, has already been established. How many times have we already been lectured on that? And how many times have we been lectured on having to defend objectionable speech even more so than speech we agree with, since objectionable speech is precisely the kind that was meant to be protected by the amendment? What happened to that repeated to the point of being cliche assertion from our military, ‘I may not agree with what you’re saying, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it’? Sometimes I wonder what country I’m living in now.

. . .viewed with despair the Quran-burning pastor’s actions —we knew innocents would likely die.

What I feel isn't despair. It's anger. Not at the pastor who did the burning (although it was supremely stupid), but that people are focusing on his wrongdoing instead of putting the blame for the violence where it belongs - squarely on the shoulders of the Muslim extremists.

It is disappointing that our military leadership publicly wrings their hands over a citizen performing the legal action of burning a book. It is wimpiness. How does the song go? “a little less talk and a lot more action” and there are numerous actions that don’t consist of starting a new war.

Muslim behavior has not changed because of the Koran burning. It caused nothing. The Muslims have been raping, pillaging and murdering since the first Muham’N’eggs.

Stephanopoulos wrote: “But Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer told me on ‘GMA’ that he's not prepared to conclude that -- in the internet age -- the First Amendment condones Koran burning…

I was unaware that anyone had concluded that the 1st Amendment 'condones' the burning of the koran. And what does 'the internet age' have to do with whether or not a certain action by the government is constitutional?

The simple fact that the 1st Amendment does not permit the government to outlaw a certain practice does not mean that the government must 'condone' the practice. All the government must do is tolerate the practice.

If Steven Breyer really did say what The Snufflaufugus claims he said, then he is even less intelligent and less qualified to be on the U.S. supreme court than I previously thought.

Obama said, “This country has been built on the notions of religious freedom and religious tolerance…”
______________________________________________

No it hasnt

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; “

has nothing to do with whether or not a religion is tolerated...

Believe me when I say

I will never tolerate sharia law...

Sharia law is Islam...

Islam is unConstitutional in the rights of women...

Should a religion that by its very nature goes AGAINST the rights of women and others in “prohibiting the free exercise” of their own religion be tolerated ???

and how far must that “toleration” extend ???

When I refuse to wear a burka will I be arrested for not tolerating another religion ???

When my neighbor’s daughter is stoned for “adultery” because she was gang raped and I protest or try to hide her, will we both die for “intolerance” ???

How far Barry are you planning to take this ???

If the First Amendment protects the rights of morons to picket the funerals of dead U.S. soldiers then it also protects the rights of morons to burn a book.

keep burning the Koran. Don’t stop. Burn it, defile it, desecrate it then throw it in their faces. show no fear and don’t take a single step backwards.

“Many of us in the U.S., regardless of our faith, viewed with despair the Quran-burning pastor’s actions —we knew innocents would likely die.”

A statement like this is nothing more than rationalizing murder committed by Islamic animals.

"...Graham mentioned finding ways of “limiting” some types of speech. Graham said, "I wish we could find a way to hold people accountable. Free speech is a great idea, but we're in a war." "

The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

Put up a bill to take away our rights or STFU you weaselly tyrants.

Our Founders knew your type.

Why burn it? Waste not, want not I say. I use a little bit of it every day when I take a dump in the morning. Saves on the Charmin....

Only a dangerously disassociated person would blame the person who burned the book for anyone else committing murder. This is the sort of “reasoning” a criminal uses when he takes an innocent hostage and then says, “If you don’t give in to my demands your are forcing me to murder this person.” Such “reasoning” is insane on the face of it.

Politicians who react by threatening Americans for exercising their Constitutional rights are cowards or criminals. Neither should be holding office under any circumstances. And people who go along with such “reasoning” should be permanently banned from voting.

Much as I dislike the guy, Mel Gibson had the right idea in the movie “Hostage”. You take action against the criminals. Sometimes its messy and difficult. You have to. If you don’t you just get more criminals.

Muslims (or anyone) who react to book burnings by violence are mad dogs and should be put down as quickly as one would any mad dog for the safety of society.

“This country has been built on the notions of religious freedom and religious tolerance…”

The liberals showed the way in deliberate descration of religious symbols and called it art, and even celebrated it. For the government to now step in and protect only Islamic symbols is as close to the establishment of religion as anything it’s done in decades. The rule of law is in serious jeopardy in this country; we have elected politicians and judges who haven’t any understanding of how it works, and without the character or courage to administer it.
