In an interview Wednesday on CNNs "Larry King Live," the associate justice compared the act of burning Islams holy book to setting the American on flag on fire when asked whether the Rev. Terry Jones had the right to carry out the controversial plan. "We protect expression that we hate," he said. "When you have a country of 300 million different people who think different things, it is helpful. It is helpful to tell everyone, You can think what you want." Breyer, who served in the Army, acknowledged that witnessing an American flag being burned during the Vietnam War era triggered "a physical reaction of repulsion" in him. But, he added, free speech applies equally to popular and unpopular statements. The Vietnam War 1968-75/Afghan War 2010-2012clipped by: nedhamson1clippers remarks: You cannot read the article in the link and not wonder - have we learned anything about these kinds of wars in 40 years? Id say - not much! How about you? Article on the the Vietnam War 1968-75 Living in the USA: We Have Been Advised to Stop Mocking the Tea Partyclipped by: zizzyclippers remarks: I mock the Tea Party because the members deserve all the derision that can be mustered. But I have always taken them seriously as an arm of powerful fascists.The Left needs to get tough, otherwise, these freaks will do away with the 14th Amendment, which is the bedrock of Civil Rights. It?s time to stop mocking the Tea Party. Whether they are loons, principled conservatives, or a mix of both, they are a potent force that won?t be intimidated off the national stage by snarky media coverage and clueless attacks from the establishment.  Every Tea Party candidate has been described as being crazy, stupid, and on track to destroy America if they are elected. Funny, that?s pretty much what was said about Barry Goldwater and his followers. But in his heyday, Goldwater was decried by Democrats and liberal Republicans alike as a dangerous demagogue, who would lead the U.S. into nuclear war, eliminate Social Security, and roll back civil-rights progress. He once advocated giving battlefield commanders in Vietnam the authority to use nuclear weapons. Demands were made that he disavow his ?racist? and ?extremist? followers. Sound familiar? As in nature, politics abhors a vacuum. Without a strong voice for more moderate leadership, the Tea Party is filling that vacuum. Colin Powell turns on Obamaclipped by: Antaraclippers remarks: awwwwwww.......so sad when a love story goes sour. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president in 2008 despite serving three Republican presidents, said Sunday that Obama needs to change his approach in the White House because voters are feeling overwhelmed by sweeping new laws that expand the scope of government. ?The president also has to ... shift the way in which he has been doing things,? Powell said on NBC?s ?Meet the Press.? ?The American people feel that too many programs have come down. There are so many rocks in our knapsack now that we?re having trouble carrying it.? Powell?s critique is noteworthy, given his decision in the 2008 election to spurn Republican John McCain ? a fellow Vietnam veteran and personal friend ? to back Obama, whom he described as offering ?generational change.? The president has continued to consult with Powell in the White House.  Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
