They make the mistake of confusing preparedness, caution, and doing all within our power to present/stop these things or worse from happening ever again with fear.

And they will be the ones crying, whining and complaining the loudest should it or worse ever happen again.

They are the ones compaining about the inconveniences at the airport they must now go through that had they been in effect that day would not have allowed these 19 men to board aircraft with knives. They complain about not being able to take fluids on board even after the men responsible for the precaution have been tried and convicted of plotting to destroy aircraft in flight with liquid explosives. they complain no matter what, but not I. I refuse to be intimidated by them, their whining, or their name calling.

It is a bit of a shame that people cannot see certain information of the activities and attempts our enemies and those of “The Religion of Peace” are planning or have actually tried.

Then again, I really doubt it would have any effect on the willfully stupid and ignorant.

As for d_blade.. The polls I saw showed that most Americans want us to finish the job before we leave Iraq. They know that to leave prematurely would give Iran and Al Qaeda an even bigger stronghold .

Stop looking backwards. Look forward and find an answer that will keep us safe. Unlike Vietnam, this time our enemies will follow us home and kill us here. The VC couldn’t do that.

As for most Americans are reasonably tolerant of illegal immigration, I doubt it. If they were, the Shamnesty bill would have passed. Quite the contrary, we emailed, called, wrote, and faxed our representatives and senators until they finally did what we asked. Hardly an endorsement of your position. No offense.

I think the title says it all. The past few days (weeks, months, years) has shown how Hateful and Intolerant the Democratic Party has become. These Far-Left NeoLiberals can care less about the safety of American Citizens and yet they care so much abo…

This really is a superior piece by Michelle.

Yup, MM knocks ‘em outta the park on a regular basis.

But I do think, like that Circuit City fellow, we should exercise normal, sensible caution when being alert for attacks.

Not sure, but I think we start to diverge somewhere in there, Rick. We were fortunate that those particular jihadis were so stupid as to pass around a video of their “war games’. We can’t depend on such carelessness on the part of all terrorists.

The reason I say that is you don’t want anyone – Muslim, Christian, Jew – in the cross hairs of the authorities unless they deserve it.

We diverge even more here, Rick. I think both citizens and the government should be keeping very close tabe on any group with a propensity to commit terrorism. Almost every terrorist plot has either originated or evolved in mosques or misc “Islamic Centers”. Federal and/or local law enforcement should have “plants” in such places.

And if Presbyterians or 7th Day Pentacostals were hatching terrorist plots on their digs, that would apply to them as well.

Once the wheels start turning, we get people like Nifong and victims like the LaCross players. And clearing yourself can be an incredibly expensive proposition.

The players are availing themselves of legal remedy, as can anyone who is wrongly accused (and walk away with literally millions). Nifong has been disbarred, jailed and is without a job.

With that example I think you’ve only shown that the system works for everyone. As for “victims”, in the context of what we’re talking about here, I’m much more concerned about the thousands of victims who could end up in body bags.

So yes be vigilant. But be sensible about it.

All due respect here, Rick, but in practice that’s vague to the point of being meaningless. If one is to go by a maxim, my choice would be a golden oldie – “Better safe than sorry.”

to lump at least me into your “America haters” category

I don’t believe you are a bad person, blady. Very mixed up much of the time, yes – but not necessarily bad. That’s just an observation and nothing personal; many people who are without evil intent fall into that category.

“Safe hatred” must have shown up on another thread here at MM (I know I read that phrase somehow today…). Basically, it’s safe to show a hatred of Christians because you know nothing bad will happen to you as a result.

Thank you, Ladybug. But I knew what it refered to – it’s just more on target and meaningful than the also correct, but overused, “hypocrite” tag. Goes into my dictionary!

“Come to think of it, the majority of Americans (at this moment) oppose Bush, want to pull out of Iraq, and are reasonably tolerant of illegal immigrants.”

First I think there is a bit of self loathing among the fringe in this country. For whatever reason, be it power, fame or fortune the leaders of the fringe most decidedly “dislike” what America is, but though they are but a small number, like so many before them they have managed to seduce hosts of young people to their cause and thus control debate in this country.
I would also say that our (I assume yours and my) dislike for the President come from different perspectives entirely. Yours I will not assume (once is enough) mine from his lack of strength in the face of opposition. It is his lack of political prowess and force which has led us into this wilderness called the “War on Terror”
Any that doubt the abilities of the weapon that is the US military is a dolt and should be ignored or hospitalized. That said we could easily defeat and make mockery of those we chose not to fight. (Syria and Iran) Clean up Iraq of its weapons and animals and be done. Instead we count the days and the dead while suppositions and testamony is given by the finest kind of men and women to the worst kind we have to offer.

Which brings me to the next point as to why we should leave Iraq. It again is for a reason wholly unsupported by the left and its horde of do nothings and miscreants who daily spread the filth of their bile on Recruiters, Airmen, Naval personell and especially the wounded of our country. It is simply because the fringe controls the debate and we simply can not win under those circumstances. Or when we have to witness the disgrace that is Russ Feingold dishonor a man like General Petraeus you know the fat lady haas sung. So the comparisons to Vietnam have finally come to fruition for the criminal and the lying back stabber from Massachutsetts. We are in Vietnam again. A weak President, a traitorous decietful congress and a machine honed to the sharpest of steel, cutting the heart out of the comotose Americans.

So you see to lump at least me into your “America haters” category is either disingenious or stupid, whichever you choose. One more point…what is “somewhat tolerant” especially when speaking to the intolerant…….
