Great point. Here we have an obscure pastor in Florida taking actions that are endangering troops, possibility citizens, and the military mission we're engaged in. Even generals on the ground are seriously concerned with what this man is doing.

Is it "Freedom of Speech" or an issue of "National Security"?

I say... put him in costody and make him fight for this. Let the courts decide if it's "free speech".

Remember what you instructed me?

You can't get caught up in the madness of going against his Constitutional rights to burn a Koran either. If the media didn't want to gin up this business, no one would have thought a thing about it. But, they wanted to try and show that we are just an intolerant as the Muslims. And I believe it is the liberal left that would love to see Christianity take a back burner.

The sad and true fact is that, even on this very forum, we claim to be Christians and we are not tolerant toward each person's decision of where we choose to worship and what we choose to believe. It doesn't make us look very palatable. Our words can cut just as much as physical violence.

So, I think that Glenn Beck had it right at his Restoring Honor rally - "We need to restore honor in our own lives before we try to fix anything else."
