Mark Steyn, Iowahawk Agree That Lindsey Graham Is A Tick

Steyn: "unfit for office," and he'd like to know where the supposed brave champions of free expression are on this.

Oh, right. They're congratulating themselves for agreeing with Graham.

Iowahawk discovers a Lindsey Graham essay on the importance of politeness and good manners during wartime.

On this issue, I can sort of give Graham a Mitigating Circumstances point because he is very pro-military, and is looking out for our troops. But to suggest that Americans need to be "held accountable" for the free exercise of speech? Because of the behavior of foreign primitives?

The idea that we need to institute a law against blasphemy on behalf of an aggressive, violent, alien (version of) a religion -- to avoid hurting the feelings of monsters! -- is insane.

What are we fighting for? Do we have to destroy the village to save it?
