I'm honstly shocked by the extreme cowardice you have just displayed. Let's be honest, what risk have you run by publishing these photo's? Will there be violent protests by crazed mobs in front of your offices? Nope. Will you be receiving credible death threats from organized terrorist groups? Nope again. Oh, you will get heaps of praise from those on the far left, anti-American groups, Islamo-Fascists, etc., but you completely chickened out on publishing the Mohamed cartoons. Face it, you actually had to run a risk to do that and you clearly don't want to run risks. Much better to look edgy without any actual danger.
Funny thing, we went through the exact same decision in the other direction. My wife and I are fairly spiritual (not religious or Christian) and somewhat conservative gun owners. Her sister is a total knee-jerk liberal. We very long considered, should the worst happen, sending our children cross country to be raised by my Mom rather than subject them to being brought up by people that think Mommy & Daddy are right wing wacko's.
Doesn't feel good when it goes the other way does it?
I wanted to read the article but then I got to "stolen election" and every bit of your credibility flew out the window and I lost interest. I sure hope you didn't have anything actually meaningful to communicate.
Thanks for trying.
