President Fido supports the right to burn the Koran

President Fido
P-BO told a crowd on Labor Day that he'd "keep fighting, every single day, every single hour, every single minute to turn this economy around." Then he whined that interest groups that don’t agree with him "talk about [him] like a dog." First off, if “fighting" means spending 700 BILLION on “shovel ready” projects resulting in a rise in unemployment, the deficit, the size, reach and interference of government, please, please STOP fighting for us.

Next off, don’t compare yourself to a dog. When I was growing up we loved our dogs. We always had two. The dogs were well behaved. They generally did what they were told to do. I can’t imagine Shorty passing P-BO care, if Dad had given him a sharp, No! They added to the enjoyment of the family. They were not constantly stirring the race pot pitting one half of the family against the other, although Heidi did like big brother best. Unlike P-BO, we could put Bruno out when he got in the way. Heck he would actually sit by the door, if there were too much confusion in the house. What are the chances P-BO will address the nation, tell us we made a horrible mistake in 2008, he isn’t up to the job and just quit? And our dogs were smart. They had a sense about when to come and go and the routine of family life. Our dog Lady was so smart she could open the baby gate latch with her teeth and experience a day of chewing up Mom’s good shoes.

Except for the last example of destroying things, P-BO shares none of the characteristics of the American family dog. Now if you look at the Muslim or Korean cultures, the dog isn’t so popular, except as a menu item. So maybe that’s what P-BO meant, he’s treated like a dog in Iran or N. Korea. But an American dog? No way. Unless he’s one of Mike Vick’s dogs.

Burning the Koran
Terry Jones, pastor at the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida plans to burn the Koran to mark this year’s anniversary of 9-11. I guess the "World Out reach" part of the church title doesn't include the Muslim "world."  P-BO said that Rev? Jones had every legal right to do so. Other famously liberal hypocrites supported Jones’ right to burn the Koran and claimed that anyone who did not support the bon fire was a Christaphobe.

No wait.  That’s not right. That would be consistent with their position on the GZM.

They are lib hypocrites. This is a “Christian pastor.”  So to be consistently hypocritical the libs must have come out against the Koran burning.

I’m not for burning the Koran or any other book because I don’t agree with the content. But this nutball Rev? should have the right to do it. But the State Dep. And Gen Petraeus have come out against the Rev?. This is dangerous. First, both are sworn to protect and defend the US Constitution. And we, for now anyway, have a First Amendment right to do what the Rev? is doing.

I do not think uniformed military personnel should be engaged in this type of lecturing to people exercising the rights that the military is supposed to defend. What if Muslims suddenly become offended with beer drinking on Fri, the Muslim Sabbath? Will Petraeus warn against drinking beer on Fri for fear of riling up the sensibilities of Muslims trapped in the 8th century? This is the kind of conduct the religion of perpetual outrage engages in all of the time. Testing and pushing back the rules and laws that guide the rest of us in the name of religious tolerance. Like: It is against our religion to pay for our movie tickets. You must let us in free. In that respect , the Rev? is, uh pardon the pun, smoking out the lib hypocrites and the radical Muslims. While Rev? Nutball is burning Korans, the advocates of the religion of peace will be rioting in the streets burning churches and the congregations inside them.

And remember the Muslim outrage with the Mohammed cartoons. The acolytes of the religion of peace and tolerance went on a three day burn fest burning and killing anything that did not comport to their 8thcentury idea of how things ought to be. Back then the press was in a quandary. Freedom of speech Vs. 8th century whackos. There was honest debate about a journalists right to draw and write whatever they wanted consequences be damned. And how about the NY Times releasing all manner of military secrets puting soldiers at risk. Did the Lamestream Media, Sate Dep. And Gen Petraeus come out against the Times? No.  We were told this is the price for living in a free society.  The reaction to Rev? Jones is an inconsistent over the top reaction across the board.

As for Gen. Petraeus, at a minimum he should have asked his civilian boss - Sec Gates - to issue the warning. But the federal government weighing in on this issue at all is a scary notion.
