From Big Government:
Apr 6, 2011 (12 hours ago)Politicians Should Stop Apologizing for Our Constitutional Freedomsfrom Big Government by Phillip Dennis
“I may not agree with what you say but I’ll fight to the death to defend your right to say it.” Voltaire
Who would have ever thought a philosopher from France (of all places) would support individual freedoms more than American political leaders? Not moi, but unfortunately we’re not making American political leaders like we used to!
Much has recently been made of Florida preacher Terry Jones’ burning of the Koran and the subsequent Afghanistan riots that resulted in the murders and beheadings of UN workers. What has been more repugnant, but not surprising, is the speed in which American political leaders have rushed in front of cameras to condemn Jones and even suggest restricting the First Amendment and freedom of speech!
South Carolina RINO Senator Lindsey Graham appeared on CBS Face The Nation yesterday. He stated:
“You know I wish we could find some way to hold people accountable. Free speech is a great idea, but we’re in a war. During World War II you had limits on what you could say if it would inspire the enemy.”
Senate Leader Harry Reid added on the same program:
“Ten to 20 people have been killed. We’ll take a look at this of course…as to whether we need hearings or not, I don’t know.”
Shame on these lame excuses for Americans! Graham has the audacity to state “free speech is a great idea?” No, Senator Graham, free speech is one of the cornerstone liberties that separate America from the totalitarian controls in countries where citizens suffer with the oppression of communism or sharia law. It is America’s love and defense of individual freedoms and rights that serve as the backbone of our love and defense of liberty.
Yes, Senator Reid, 10 to 20 people have been killed, but they were killed by savage Muslim extremists in Afghanistan who made the decision to murder. Do you hold Jones accountable for the recent murders of 1,000 Christians by Muslims in the Ivory Coast? Murder seems to go hand-in-hand with radical Islam all over the world.
What Pastor Jones did no doubt offend many. But does it differ from William Ayers burning or trampling an American flag? Would Senators Graham and Reid have threatened to hold hearings or restrict the First Amendment if an American Muslim Imam were to burn a Bible? What if Jones burned a Torah? Would they condemn? Of course not! But Christians and Jews are not known to behead and murder innocents when their religion is insulted. Appeasing savages with the worthless philosophy of ” maybe if we’re nice, they’ll go away” has been proven time and time again to lead to more violence and deaths of innocents.
I have heard many, other than Graham and Reid, state in the past few days that Pastor Jones is responsible for the murders in Afghanistan. Nothing is further from the truth and defending that argument is a great insult to Pastor Jones, the innocents murdered and the First Amendment. It is also a tremendous insult to Islam. Because stating that the burning of a Koran in America is the catalyst for mass murder in Afghanistan basically says that Muslims are not capable of responsible, civil behavior. Pastor Jones is guilty of nothing more than burning a Koran. Whether he was right or wrong is a matter of differing opinion. But every American, even our PC political class, should stand firm and state to the world that Jones, as a citizen of the United States, has every right to burn any book, flag or anything else other than the private property of others that he sees fit.
The predictable reaction from the politically correct, professional apologizers now leading America will do nothing but embolden radical Muslims murderers around the world. The correctly see America as a country that will quickly abandon its most cherished values if the acts committed in Afghanistan, Pakistan or some other Muslim dominated country are sufficiently brutal. What will Senator Graham say when radical Muslims in Afghanistan or Iraq threaten to kill more American soldiers or UN employees unless American women are refused the right to drive or must wear burqas?
America’s individual liberties and Constitutional rights must be protected at all costs. Pastor Jones has the right to burn the Koran, Lindsey Graham has the right to say stupid things on television and I have the right to criticize them both. And that is what makes America great.
