AMERICANS UNITED

Obama is the shepherd I did not want, He leadeth me beside the still factories, He restoreth my faith in the Republican party, He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me. He has anointed my income with taxes, My expenses runneth over. Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life, And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.

Controversial Florida Pastor Terry Jones Planning Protest In Dearborn

DEARBORN, Mich. -- Florida Pastor Terry Jones is headed out of town, but only for a week before coming back to protest in Dearborn next Friday.In a statement released Saturday, Jones said he would protest at 5 p.m. outside Dearborn City Hall.A jury decided Friday that Jones must pay a so-called "peace" bond ahead of his planned demonstration outside a Dearborn mosque.After not posting $1 bonds, Jones and his associate pastor, Wayne Sapp, were escorted to jail, said District Judge Mark Somers. Somers said Jones and Sapp would stay in Wayne County jail until posting bond.The men posted the $1 bonds about an hour after initially refusing to.Prosecutors had asked Somers to set the bond at $45,000.Somers ruled Thursday the city of Dearborn didn't violate Jones' free speech rights by denying him a permit to protest outside the mosque. Somers said Jones rejected four alternative sites listed in a city ordinance.Somers said the jury was very concerned with the First Amendment right of freedom of speech. He said that the juror's concerns were similar to the courts because they were more concerned with the protest's time and location rather than its content.The trial started at 9 a.m Friday. The four women and three men of the jury went into seclusion just after 3 p.m. The verdict was reached about 6:30 p.m. Friday.Jones told the jury in his opening statement on Friday morning that the First Amendment protects his right to hold a peaceful protest outside the mosque.A prosecutor said Jones' past actions are evidence that the protest, originally planned for 5 p.m. Friday, threatens the peace.While the jury continued to deliberate Friday evening, Jones stayed at the courthouse."At (5 p.m.) I guess we will still be here," Jones said. "We had planned other things."Jones represented himself during the trial. He said if deliberations carry past his slated protest time, he would return in one week.

We are going to be talking about our president’s intentions for re-election. We will be addressing many issues that, I believe, concern us as a nation.” Raw Video:

Dearborn is also home to one of the nation's largest populations of Arabs and Muslims.Jones had drawn international criticism by burning a copy of the Quran on March 20. Jones said he was not going to burn a copy of the Quran during Friday's protest.The Gainesville, Fla., pastor has said he has nothing against peaceful Muslims, but worries about Islamic law coming to the United States.

In an open letter to Jones, Dearborn Mayor John O'Reilly Jr. has requested the protest be held in another location, such as City Hall.

M. Abelle said...: The person in question was not jailed for "protesting a mosque;" he was jailed for failure to post a bond.

The group in question is not, despite their claims, "exercising their first amendment rights." In the matter in question there have no rights; there is a right to demonstrate but there is no right to demonstrate precisely where one wants, when one wants.

I believe this has been quite clear in the past, at least when things were not on the rightwing side of the political sprectrum.
