Shotgun 1 #2 September 25, 2012 From Obama's UN speech: QuoteI know there are some who ask why we don’t just ban such a video. The answer is enshrined in our laws: our Constitution protects the right to practice free speech. Here in the United States, countless publications provoke offense. Like me, the majority of Americans are Christian, and yet we do not ban blasphemy against our most sacred beliefs. Moreover, as President of our country, and Commander-in-Chief of our military, I accept that people are going to call me awful things every day, and I will always defend their right to do so. Americans have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their views – even views that we disagree with. We do so not because we support hateful speech, but because our Founders understood that without such protections, the capacity of each individual to express their own views, and practice their own faith, may be threatened. We do so because in a diverse society, efforts to restrict speech can become a tool to silence critics, or oppress minorities. We do so because given the power of faith in our lives, and the passion that religious differences can inflame, the strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression, it is more speech – the voices of tolerance that rally against bigotry and blasphemy, and lift up the values of understanding and mutual respect. And I agree with him. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/9565687/In-full-Barack-Obamas-speech-to-UN-General-Assembly.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a different note - Chuck Norris is a blithering idiot. I have seen the video of him spewing about the nigger in the white house. He didn't use the word nigger, but he might as well have. A dumbfuck and an embarassment to the country. Much like the practicing SOCIALISTS who rail about socialism while happily pocketing the redistributed TAXES other people paid in to the system. Worthless lying sacks of shit... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

winsor 236 #8 September 26, 2012 QuoteThese idiots seem to think so. How about we make it a crime to venerate perverts such as The Profit Muhammad (may he rot in hell) and Joseph Smith? Either of them would qualify for listing as a "Sexual Predator" these days. It might serve to balance things out a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 334 #10 September 26, 2012 1. How pathetic and weak must your belief be, to think that it is threatened by what someone says (as long as you are not kept from practicing)? 2. It seems pretty egotistical to think that any supreme being really cares or notices what Man is doing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
