Quote:You can apply that kind of reasoning to anything.    How about crime?   Crime is a thousand times greater threat to you than Islamic extremism.   So why not become a police state and end crime?    You're awfully comfortable with tossing out everything we stand for in exchange for a little extra safety.     

 

Tossing out everything we stand for?

 

What do we stand for? Arming murderers in the middle east? Giving welfare to anybody who feels like they don't need to work anymore? Emptying the treasury to prop up corporate interests? Allowing politicians to line their pockets with lobbying money? Ignoring the first amendment to silence opposition speech (Thanks, Loretta Lynch)? Ignoring the second amendment by creating more and more gun regulations? Abusing the 14th amendment to allow uncontrolled population growth from illegal immigrants? Giving federal money to losers who go to school for a gender studies degree? Allowing a militant, racist group to run roughshod over local, state, and federal police?

 

Your comment is an excuse to sit idly by while your country falls to shambles to foreign and corporate interests. Which is fine, it is your right.
