Interesting comments. I saw just a couple of things I thought I might
question.

Does this mean you consider the war to be a holy war? A war of
US/Christians vs Fundimental/Islam?


No. It is a war for survival. The only thing these people want is for you to
die. The only way to keep them from killing you, your wife, your children,
and burning your house down so that 'infidels' will not live in it is to
kill them first.

They
cannot continue to advocate the violent overthrow of democracy and
expect
democratic protections.


Well, in the US, they are specifically granted that freedom. I'm not
saying, this is what they envisioned, just the same, they did foresee the
possible need of our governmet being overthrown. Thusly, advocating is
specifically protected, here in the states, under our Constitution. Like
it or not, that's where we stand.

It has never been true that the right to advocate violent overthrow of the
government has been protected. Even if it is, these people have forfeited
that right. The Constitution was meant to protect reasonable and rational
discourse. These people cannot be negotiated with. They cannot be reasoned
with. They cannot be bargained with. They have no intention of upholding any
sort of Constitution. If you don't grow your beard just so they want to be
able to drag you out into the street and execute you in front of your family
and neighbors.

We lose the Constitution completely if these guys win. America in time of
war has always suspended certain Constitutional rights. There were far more
restrictions on freedom during WW II than there are now, and after the war
those freedoms were returned. In fact, Americans had more and greater
freedoms after the war than before.

It is time to stop playing games with semantics. We have got to exterminate
these people before they do the same to us.
