To have to temporarily enable some additional scrutiny, imho, is only acceptable if we are willing to play by the adversary's rules anywhere and everywhere in the world; by bringing a higher level of terror to them than they bring to us and sustain it!
It's called the will to get the job done; to win the war. In case any Lefty is listening, that's the lesson of Vietnam!! Someone once said that to give up freedom to gain safety, deserves neither. I concur. We don't need to give up freedom to gain safety. We need leaders who are willing to loose the dogs. By that I do not mean indiscriminate warfare. I mean concentrated devastation to those who wage war against our way of life. We know who they are! They are the Wahabbist sect of Islamic Fascists. We know who they are and where they are, but lack the will to root them out. Who is going to stop us. Heavens, the rest of the world is frightened to death of them. If we have to frighten some Old World Socialists (and worse) to prove we have no particular designs on empire (again) then so be it! We need to come to understand that the rules we live by as civilized Westerners are being used against us by these creatures. We need to come to understand that the rules that we use to play with each other do not extend to them, period.
My God, the left is vilifying the British police because they have killed an innocent man who ran from them. But what about all the other multiple hundreds (and thousands) of injured and dead innocents butchered by the the goblins?
Somehow they have been forgotten because the goodguys may have made a mistake? Once? Somehow I have a problem grasping the 2nd is somehow worse than the first and deserves the outcry. In war, innocents die. Sad but true. That is not to condone or desire that to happen, but it will. The difference between us and the goblins is we do not seek to do that and they frankly do not give a rat's behind, they believe to kill innocents is the proper way.
Our enemies, the religious fanatical feudal tribalists, need to have impressed upon them that we will root them out where ever they are, and that we are armed and ready to take them on and then do so. An armed citizenry, every adult, would be the first step. The second step is to close every Wahabbist Mosque, burn it down and arrest and detain everyone affiliated with that horrible sect of villains. I suggest we turn them over to Castro and repay the debt we owe him from Marrielle.
I, for one, am getting a little sick of the pussyfooting that is going on. We are either in, or out. Take your choice. If we're out, then we might as well kneel down in allegiance to their bootheel. The closest I've heard anyone call a spade a spade, is from the leader of Australia and he's a gun grabber for land sake.
I'm sick of bitching, and probably highjacking the thread. (sorry) rant over. :banghead:
