burn baby, burn

so, rather predictably, some guy wants to have a public service to commemorate 9/11 where he will burn the koran. i don't know the particulars, and don't have time to research it, but i'll give you some general thoughts on the general idea.

so what?????????????

the military is afraid that this "aggressive" act will spark more violence against our troops in the middle east. i'm sorry, but don't you guys have, like, WEAPONS??? aren't you guys trained to, um, kick some ass??? is american military policy now to cower at the strong feelings of our enemies??? obviously working hard to not offend the peace loving muslims has worked really well up until now. there have only been about 85 trillion IED attacks on our troops when someone in america DIDN'T burn the koran. hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

on another front, this act (the koran burning) is apparently a huge assault on the first amendment. has anyone saying this actually read the first amendment? because is it pretty clear (not blurry like the 2nd amendment obviously is...) that the first amemndment- actually the entire bill of rights- restricts the powers of the government against the people. it protects the citizens of the US from government abuses of certain 'fundamental' rights. so, whose rights is the government trampling on when a private citizen burns a private copy of the stupid- oops, i mean holy- koran? for that matter, why do those in favor of building a victory monument- oops, i mean an islamic cultural center- on ground zero also invoke the first amendment? whose free speech is being restricted? the muslims who are allowed to build untold numbers of mosques all over our country? the friendly brotherly loving folks who will skin you alive and cut your throat while they chant allah hoo akbar into a camera lense? has anyone heard the quote that all it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to satnd by and do nothing???

being americans, we of course take it to the next level of stupidity. it is not enough to allow them to do their own thing- we have to facilitate it, sanction it, bless it, and wish it well. can we sharpen your sword for you? pack shrapnel into your bomb belt? lick your feet clean while you slowly but surely try to turn american freedoms against us? perhaps the US governenment should put american flags and bibles into our foreign aid budget so the islamic nuts will have something to burn while they eat our food and use our medicine. wouldn't want them to be bored, because then they might turn violent. and how un-muslim would that be???

i am so done with those who will stand on the backs of the fallen to be first in line to kiss the asses of our enemies. unfortunatlely, it seems that they are only just beginning...

gotta go burn my koran- BB
