Good grief! That was quite a rant. I don't know what those guys said to upset you so much, but now I'm curious.
That aside, I have some thoughts on this whole free speech, anti-jihad/sharia thing.
As I recall, Ms. Geller said that the cartoon convention was not about "defaming" Mohammed, but exercising free speech in the face of Islamic bullies saying that "No one can draw the prophet Mohammed". Of course, you can...just at your own risk of death and/or dismemberment, etc. There was no directive on what the cartoon should consist of. Only that Mohammed should be in it. Therefore, if someone chose to make fun or to incorporate tasteless pornographic images in the cartoon, that was the individual's choice, not Ms. Geller's.
Funny thing is, when the French paper Charlie Hebdo was attacked, EVERYONE supported them. And almost every cartoon they produced was pornographic in nature. The world applauded their free speech spirit, and the #I am Charlie Hebdo tweets were aplenty.
Fast forward to the cartoon convention in Garland, TX and the Left is silent. No support, but criticism. I mean, when it comes to mocking Christianity, the Left is very brave. Because, we all know that it's the Christians that are persecuting Muslims over in the Middle East. It's the Christians who are throwing gays off buildings over there. It's the Christians who are beheading innocent men, women and children that do not convert to Islam, I mean, Christianity...RIGHT?!!! Oh wait!
Seems a little hypocritical don't ya think? But, then again, saying that a L*****t/Liberal is a hypocrite is like saying, "Trees are made of wood."
You can h**e on me all you want, but the real villain in this scenario is not Pam Geller, Conservatives or Christians. It's Islam. Islam says convert or die. Islam imposes sharia law wherever it's allowed to take a foothold. Islam is k*****g gays, Jews, Christians, and even Muslims who aren't "Muslim enough"!
Christians aren't k*****g anyone. Conservatives aren't k*****g anyone. The "Right" isn't k*****g anyone. Everyone you h**e or disagree with isn't k*****g anyone. It's Islam. If you need a group to h**e...I recommend that group. They've actually earned it.
Fact is, political correctness has been used by the Left as a cudgel to silence opposition for decades. Islam has taken note of it and is now using it to do the same. Where else would they come up with the moniker "Islamophobia" to silence opposition to sharia law? They learned it from the Left.
I love you sister, but you're dead wrong on this one.

You got me wrong. I am certainly not P.C., and I do not condone the terrorists, and feel no pity for any of them who get k**led. It is not Islam in general. It is the terrorists groups who are k*****g, maiming, raping, beheading anyone who is not THEM. They k**l Christians because they are Christians. They do all of this in the "holy" name of Allah. They are worse than any words I can come up with. No, I didn't get this one wrong. I got it, just as you did.
And, no, I do not feel sorry for the jihadists who were k**led at the convention. I still don't like Geller. Listen,
she is someone who likes attention, the press, the
"persecuted" feeling she gets. There are lots of people like Geller. There are too many terrorists. No, I did not cheer Charlie in France. I did not like the protests in Paris with everyone wearing those buttons which said,
"Je suis Charlie" or "I am Charlie". I am not a sympathizer with thugs, k**lers, jihad, and what else can I say.
I am not dead wrong on this one. I'm with you 100%.
I still do not like Geller. I think she has some sort of,
I don't know what I'd call it since I'm not a psychologist, problem. Yeah, she's bright. And foolish at the same time. You don't have to agree with me about Geller. We are on the same side.
How could you even think I would support thugs,
ISIS, and all the other splinter groups who are k*****g everyone who isn't "them". Or bothering to check. If a
terrorist wants to k**l, rape, maim, he will. And so will
the little girls and boys they use to blow places up.
Assuring them of a place in Allah's heaven. I actually don't know if Islam has a "heaven".
Enough k*****g. But there will never be enough, and who is going to even begin to "degrade" this enormous
group who has no "country", but are all over the world.
The USA needs to do more. But, no, not at the expense of any more US lives. Too many have died,
in defense of US security. And we're not secure.
I pray and I despair. I despair and I pray. What else can I say? It's all a cluster f**k of HORROR and
DEATH, and every day it is worse. Politics start to seem like a not very funny joke. No one has any will
to do something. Where to start?
Enough.
We agree. And I love ya, brother. I am not the enemy.
We have a common enemy. Please don't tell me that old "chestnut"...a lefty...by definition is "what"? Against all horror that's happening in this world. No way. It just doesn't matter that you and I may differ in ways; it's a fact that we both know that there are
terrorists who would k**l us both, because we are not
THEM. We are not jihadists. We are Americans. It doesn't matter if someone is a Christian, a Jew, an
athiest, an agnostic, or in a cult. We happen to be:
not Islamic terrorists. Nor Boko Harram. Or traffickers in children.
That's it, Loki. Hope it was sufficient. I mean every word I said. DT. Nora.
