A Pakistani man died after inhaling fumes from burning U.S. flags during a protest against the unspeakably awful film Innocence of Muslims, according to The Daily Mail.
Abdullah Ismail died at a hospital in Lahore after the smoke from the incinerated flags made him ill.
Kinda makes you want to lower your own flag to half staff to mourn his passing, doesn’t it?
Nah, me neither.

Andrew Klavan hits one out of the park: Shame
Victor Davis Hanson dissects Obama’s Middle East Delusions
Thanks for this, Bob. Good stuff! I especially like the Glenn McCoy cartoon of OBozo polishing his trophy, and Andrew Klavan’s Shame piece. Wonderful.
From Klavan’s essay at PJ Media:
I just can’t get over how perceptive this guy is. Some psychologists claim that ALL mental illness is traceable to the conscious decision to begin denying the real world and start forming an alternative reality, just as Klavan is saying.
I also had an epiphany about this one day when I was gently arguing with a woman from work about abortion. She was a hard-core activist, so I kept the conversation casual, and that may be why her guard was down when she eventually admitted that she knew all about abortion being totally wrong. She just didn’t want it to be true, so she made up an alternative reality.
Awesome…I was wondering where this passage went. I bookmarked it in my verbal ammo notes and lost it. Thank you. It’s a .50cal worth shooting more.
Everything you have in italics from Klavan there is the absolute center line of their failure.
The spot where the metal hits the meat. The center-of-mass.
Perfect. Glad I slowed down and took a breather. It helped me recognize and find it.
Thanks Grunt.
Exactly.

Freedom of speech ends with being a conservative.
Countdown to legal repercussions in 3-2-1..
Screw the liberal lawyers. They won’t touch this. Things are going to get really shaky here pretty quick. It’s going to jump off right soon. You better bolt your shit on really tight.

I dunno. I don’t see Oblamer and friends laying off the mohammed movie guy even after it’s come to light (via Libya) that the riots and murders had nothing to do with the youtube trailers.

Can a single cop stop 50 drag-racers very easily?
How about 5000+?
Freedom of Speech = Freedom of Speech.
If we are all doing it, it’s a NATIONAL FREEDOM.
Use it or Lose it.
This is the very ammunition in our Constitutional tool-kit that our forefathers provided and bequeathed to us. 3% actually used it.
You will get dirty using it. No one is going to come out clean. Not this time.

I know I haven’t been around much lately, but I just want to say how much I appreciate all of you! You guys (and gals) are awesome and I’m so glad I’ve been lucky enough to “know” all of you. Thanks so much for your insight!
It’s very mutual, M!
Missed you, MRM. I’m guessing life has been extremely busy for you; hope all is well.
Thank you! @Bob – yes, lots going on in real life at the moment … along with a conscious effort to back away a little. (but I still check in and always learn something from y’all)
