The worst that can happen is the Republicans gets control of the house, and expose themselves for what they are in the next 2 years.
The Tea Party sure has done wonders for what was essentially a clueless, directionless group desperately grasping for issues.

Mikehuntz: your brilliant logic is just overwhelming.
Tribes have a right to kill each other but religions don't. Dove's outreach center might need a new head, care to apply?

In 1994 Hutus(Christian) killed 800,000 Tutsis(Chirstians) in a span of 100 days in Rwanda.
So should we generalize that savage Christians are massacring other Christians world over.
That would seem right by your warped logic of senseless extrapolations.

Well the only people who might consider this nutcase to be brilliant is somebody with a single digit IQ.
The idiot cannot even figure out who is behind building the NY mosque. He smells a victory on the NY mosque issue because some local Moslem assures him so.

This is the type of bigotry that will work against Americans.
What if some fanatic in any of Moslem countries holds some American tourist responsible for the actions of this demented man?

Thank you Kaptain for your in-depth analysis.
Your rant does nothing but reinforce your insensitivity to the lives of American soldiers. You are content with soldiers dying due to one deranged individual exercising his to expression.
Since it is obvious who is the juvenile here, let me explain some reality to you.
The fight with terrorism is not a game you play on your computer or cell-phone. You do not get extra lives by shooting down enemies and get to play another game when you lose one.
Each soldier who goes to war has a family, friends, people who love him and will be devastated at his death.
So stop belittling the dangers American soldiers face everyday and take your cowardly opinions to a forum matching your mental ability(or lack of it)

Well that is obviously your opinion so I don't need to bother.
Come on son, no need to act like infant, and " military sociology teacher", stop smoking whatever you are smoking.
They obviously do ,when so called patriots like you are so eager to get them killed.

You have obviously no idea about religious hysteria. The book burning will invite demonstrations, people will die in these, it will fuel rage amongst more, and somebody who had no intention of picking up a gun or a bomb will do so to avenge the killings.
The issue here is, do you care enough about the lives of your soldiers, or do you think of them as fodder to feed your prejudiced view of the world?

My 2 year old friend, you have a lot to learn.
The danger is not going to be just Taliban, but anybody who is sufficiently riled up and takes the same view as this nut-job preacher. This nut-job holds all Muslims responsible for the actions of a few. Similarly there will be some trigger happy Afghan(Taliban, Afghan army or just about any civilian) who will hold all US troops responsible for the actions of this idiot.
This is the point Gen Petraeus was trying to make and seems to be totally lost on you.

People who are willing to sacrifice others' lives for the sake of their own narrow minded beliefs are cowards.
Easy for you to say behind the comfort of your armchair, but a soldier signs up to defend his country, not to get blown up as a consequence of the actions of a demented individual.
The only reason Gen Petraues wrote that mail is that he knows that his troops are going to be even greater danger because of the actions of this lunatic.
Do you believe even for one minute you care more about the troop's welfare than the Gen??

The problem is cowardly keyboard cowboys like these who have no qualms about their own brave soldiers getting killed just because some lunatic provides gratification to their base desires.
The troops don't need crazed individuals blowing themselves up , inspired or outraged by this idiots actions.

The problem is with fanatics like you who club anybody not agreeing to your brand of extreme beliefs as communists, socialists etc etc. McCarthyism,in a more rabid form, seems to catching on among the feeble minded.

Ok, he did not have the courage to stand up for himself and needed to hide behind somebody's tail.So we both agree on that.
I would guess that says more about the quality of opposition. The poor excuse of an opposition today are just not the type you would work together with.
If you believe that, then you should stop smoking whatever you are smoking.

There was a President(this is before you started thinking) who used to spend a lot of money on fighting meaningless wars overseas. Compared to that we have a President who spends money on his own people, try to "think" who is better.
