VIDEO: MAN BURNS QUR'AN AT GROUND ZERO

Perhaps the scheduled Qur'an burning outside a Florida church was cancelled but that didn't stop an unidentified man from ripping out pages of a Qur'an and burning them on 9/11 near ground zero. Caught on film, this is likely to lead to a reaction from the Islamic world before long. Regardless of your opinion of whether this man should have done what he did, arguing with his statement would be grossly hypocritical.

The New York Daily News quoted him as saying:

"If they can burn American flags, I can burn the Koran," shouted the unidentified man. "America should never be afraid to give their opinion."

Ill-advised or not, the man stated a reality our Constitution guarantees.

MITCH MCCONNELL'S BLATANT HYPOCRISY ON KORAN BURNING

The AFP reported that both Mitch McConnell and John McCain publicly denounced the planned Koran burning on September 11th at the Dove World Outreach Center. However, in light of McConnell's vote on an amendment to make burning the United States flag illegal, he appears to have a consistency problem that could use some explaining. At least McCain's statements on the Koran burning are consistent with his vote in 2006. McConnell's screams hypocrisy. Making it even more relevant is the fac that he was the ONLY Republican in office today who voted against the amendment (Lincoln Chafee was the other).

HERE is how the Senate voted. The flag burning amendment went down by one vote - McConnell's was the deciding one.

Contrast that with these statements from McConnell on September 9th regarding the Koran burning. Via the AFP:

Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell warned that the "stunt" risked endangering US troops in the field, while urging the news media to show restraint amid global outrage at the pastor's plans.

"If this group insists on going forward, I would hope that members of the media will not reward them with what they crave most: News coverage," McConnell said in a statement.

In order to stay consistent, McConnell should have either kept his mouth shut or defended the church's right to carry through with their plans.

Regardless of where you come down on this Koran burning issue, McConnell seems to be more willing to prevent Koran burnings than U.S. flag burnings.

AUDIO: HOUSTON TALK SHOW HOST GOES OFF!

Houston's big AM talk station, KTRH 740 has an afternoon drive talk show host named Michael Berry. He's definitely one of the good guys and a very strong conservative. If you are not inspired after this rant, there's not much anyone can do for you. Berry hits on a common theme by mocking those who say they want to get involved but don't know what to do. His response is not one I've heard before but I really like it. He RIPS them for not being able to figure it out on their own.

He basically rips the Tea Partiers for not being angry enough. Awesome. Scary, but awesome.
