"Screw this, I’m sick and damned tired of compromising my rights as an American citizen because some in-bred savage half-way around the world is going to get his panties in a twist."

And you shouldn't have to compromise your rights as an American. What Senator Graham said is disturbing. As someone noted earlier in the thread quoting Voltaire. I may not agree with what you are doing, but I'll defend your right to do it. I think Pastor Jones is a jackass and I wish he wouldn't do these stupid shennanigans. However, I'll defend his right to do it. There's a difference.

If we had the proper ROE in Afghanistan, nobody would have even heard of Pastor Jones, even if he burned 10,000 Korans in the middle of Florida Field at halftime of a Gator Football Game.

That’s the slippery slope we’re on though. The instant that Americans start “compromising” on the 1st Amendment, we’re done.

It’s the 1st Amendment for a reason.
