It befuddles my mind that the right-thinking people want to silence those like Pamela Geller. I don't know anything about Geller--she might be a nice lady or a rotten person; I don't know. But to characterize her as being the cause of the deaths of the Islamo-terrorists at the Muhammad Cartoon Festival in Texas is revealing and ignorant.
I turn to Abraham Lincoln's Cooper Union Address. I think this is a propos. "A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear, and mutters through his teeth, 'Stand and deliver, or I shall kill you, and then you will be a murderer!'" Yep......
And, locally, there was some opposition to a military memorial that depicted, of all things, a rifle! Yes a soldier and a rifle! It was the the rifle, a gun, that upset some folks. Fortunately, the local council didn't cave and the memorial goes ahead as planned. To quote another famous American, Dirty Harry Callahan, in another, but similar context, [Of the bad guys, like the Germans and Japanese in WW2, "What did you want me to do, yell 'trick or treat' at 'em?"
