I am a proud New Jerseyan and I DO NOT support her message.

It is these types of words and thoughts that made this country as strong as it is today. So I'd say, quite the contrary.

Sounds more like jingoistic claptrap to me.

Oh, Subman! Don't you get it??? What makes us strong is what we STAND FOR not how many tanks, ships, missiles etc. we have! Once we start down the path of pure, irrational vengeance we are lost. Subman, aren't we the 'Good Guys', the Land of the Free and the home of the Brave?? Let's not become the Land of the Bullies and the home of the Scared. Our people in uniform don't risk their lives to protect our freedoms for us to just give them up to our own frightened gov't!!

We're AMERICANS, Subman! AMERICANS!

HAPPY 4th of JULY Guy!

Was she suffering from PMS when she posted it?

If the tables were turned I'm sure she would scream from the roof tops!

I agree with the "desecrating a prisoner's Quran" thing since the guilty amongst them are mostly non-uniformed combatants and it would be well within our rights to hang them.
On the flip side, a lot of seems like the intent was just hate speech against Islam in general. I'm not a huge fan of Islam given its' relationship with the west for the past thousand years, but these kinds of arguments, if accepted, set a dangerous precedent.
Muslims and/or arabs, and/or any other ethnic group in the general area of our discontent, are still people and if as Americans we believe in freedom like we say we do, they are just as deserving of it as anyone else.

Just my two cents...
