Every time somebody takes off their belt or shoes at the airport, the [STRIKE]terroris...[/STRIKE] I mean the boogy man wins...
Eastasians hate us for our freedoms.We have always been at war with Eastasia.
You think they're really trying to be effective at everything else?I just wish the government was as effective in everything else as they are when conspiring. Suddenly they become capable of flawless execution.
Old school terrorist....
NWO, Illuminate whatever name it has are the real terrorist. How is Bush bailing out wall street not an act of terror against our economy. The jihadist is a terrorist and we go kill him. Bush gets a pass? He condemns using torture early in the Iraq campaign and sends US military personel to prison for following orders that he brags about in his book as the means to get the info on bin Alden's location. See every act of BHO and you'll find acts of terror.
Power, money and influence will buy you the opportunity to commit terror while the MSM will give it a positive spin so the sheeple feel good and safe.
Strange days we live in.
duty to the constitution, and enjoyment of firearms. Im not saying there aren't criminals, I'm saying that I like my odds that some extremist nut case several thousand miles away has little opportunity to affect a vast majority of the population. Certainly not enough to warrant the destuction of our civil liberties, lives lost by our miliatary, and countless billions spent to make you "feel safe"If there are no "boogy" men, why do you, presumably, carry a firearm?
Here's my 2 pennies...
The problem fighting a war on terror is the fact that the enemy doesn't wear a uniform for identification nor do they move in organized units.... they hide in plain sight... they can be of any nationality and be anybody's neighbor.
The war on terror is real... and how to fight it will be debated for eternity.
The patriot act is the not the result of terrorism so much as a well planned opportunity for uncle Sugar to grab power... "never let a crisis go to waste". Somewhat a of a knee jerk reaction to a situation without an easy solution.
When confronted by an organized threat we are able to evaluate the act an respond accordingly. But how does one respond to terrorism? When you can see it coming, you can only respond after the fact.
Fighting terrorism is a different animal altogether.
Intel...
Locate cells, infiltrate, determine leadership, method of operation, communication, funding.
SOURCE...Countries that openly host terrorists should be on the list of things to destroy.
But we don't do that... do we... nope.
We call them up and scold them, threaten to reduce the handouts to them, have a meeting or three about what we should do following by the gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands... Then we start the process all over again with more reductions in handouts and this time "stronger" language and the cycle continues until we finally announce that were going red and sending in our troops.
Let our troops do what they're good at... when the dust settles a little and we've determined that theirs nothing left to break and no one left to kill... we pack our **** and go home.
Leave the mess behind... if we can't earn their respect through diplomacy then we earn it through shear force. Let's face it, PC BS doesn't earn respect or friends and "Shock and Awe" only means something if we don't hang around and handout band aids and bottled water after we kicked their butts.
Let them worry about rebuilding their 3 world ***** hole and putting the pieces back together. The word gets around that if you play footsie with the USA you'll get stomped on and left in the dirt.
These little ***** hole country's will start policing their own problems and bringing down their own terrorist "cuz we don't want the USA here"...
I'd rather take it to them... but we need to make it count.
REALLY?? You are comparing a political/financial act to thousands of lives lost in the interest of Jihad?
I am sure the families of those lost would wholeheartedly disagree with you.
These posts have given me lots of stuff to research. Maybe I don't read close enough, but one thing I rarely / never find:
1) What can I do to stop the corruption?
2) What can we do to stop the corruption?
3) Are we beyond stopping the corruption?
I know we can educate / spread the word, but so many bury their head in the sand or just think we're crazy.
We can say vote it out, really? With what we have left, I'll once again be voting against Obama, not for the other.
I still believe in America, not sure America believes in herself.
What do I do now, until I learn the next step?:
1) Spread the word.
2) Teach my boys to earn their own way, & stand up for our Constitution.
3) Pracice what I preach.
4) Bless God!
May America Bless God, & God will Bless America!
I agree that people are actively trying to terrorize us and have devoted their entire lives and fortunes to that end.
Awesome! Im gonna have to spread that one around.
