Dear Lindsey, Please Resign or Just Become a Democrat

Senator Lindsey Graham (RINO, SC) is truly the worst kind of Republican. He showed that once again spouting off this moronic quote: "Freedom of speech is a great idea but we're in a war." Senator Graham, who just by saying that violated his oath of office, is apparently no student of history, and is unaware that the Alien and Sedition Acts passed during WWI were subsequently ruled unconstitutional, i.e., being in a war is not sufficient reason to limit free speech. Second, freedom of speech is more than an idea in the United States, it's what we commonly call an Amendment to our Constitution. In fact, if memory serves, it's the First.

Now Senator Graham was commenting on the recent buring of the Quran by a moron preacher with almost no following in Florida who does this solely for the publicity and promises to put Mohammed on trial next. I don't want to be in a courtroom with a corpse that old. What he has done supposedly has ignited widespread violence and murders in the Middle East (because its so rare that you hear about that sort of thing in the news). I personally find what he did disgusting, but it's somewhat more telling that the radical Islamic morons are so willing to make his point for him. In this country we die so that people may speak freely. We don't kill them for doing so.

You listening Lindsey? In truth, how different is this from "The Satanic Verses". Salmon Rushdie has been in hiding ever since. By the way, look at the list of victims and tell me which one had anything at all to do with the burning of the book. If you can't speak for fear of reprisal then the person trying to threaten all speech has won.
