His Name Is John Q. Public

His name is John Q. Public.  Why did he do it?  Because he (still) has the right to express himself, despite  threats and antagonism from a wailing background chorus of useful idiots and  a foreground frenzy of contentious belligerence from a rabid press mob.  It’s all Death to America…a little Death to Terror would be refreshing.

UPDATE: This was the video of Derek Fenton, the NJ Transit employee who was fired from his job after he chose to exercise his right to free speech. On September 11, 2010, he burned pages of the Koran while strolling around Ground Zero. You remember where that is.
The crowd he drew had a pretty big dash of fool in their composition and heaped far more insults and threats on him than blessings or bouquets. Mr. Fenton is a hero in his own way.
