Thread Name: BS: Ham Sandwich Debacle
Subject: RE: BS: Ham Sandwich Debacle
We're not talking about the right to look at editorial cartoons without mass protests by Muslims. We're talking about the right for us to "stand up" to a little boy who just wants to be an American. From what I've read, he probably wants to go to shool, have friends, eat lunch in the cafeteria.
The right to throw ham at Muslim children is not a cause I would invest a lot off emotional energy into, even if it is packaged as "Freedom of Speech" or rejection of "appeasement."
