for what we believe in. Period. End of sentence.
So, I'm willing to take my chances with the "terr-ists" because I don't have much fear of them. I'm not all that scared to die, for one thing, and for another, I'd rather die than live in a police state.
If we can't die for our principles, if we cannot believe in something big enough to die for (like our country, when it's right), then what's the point? We might as well live in Russia.
That's what sets us apart; or what did. If our congresspeople are so lilly livered, I guess they need replacing.
As far as I'm concerned, there is no debate. This is a black and white issue. I do not buy into any of this national security crap, I resent having to take off my shoes at the airport and carry little bottles of shampoo in a baggie. It's BS. I'd rather take my chances with a hijacker.
Your mileage may vary.
