The terrorists have won

Well, they've finally come out and plainly stated who the real enemy is: the citizens of this nation.

Someday, you may be hearing about attacks on government facilities by "terrorists" on the evening news. Who will you be supporting? Will you believe the ministries of propaganda as seen on the nightly news? Or not?

Well, do you see a rebuilt WTC in New York?

Yes.

[yup2394871293]

The one in progress may not be the proposed one that you liked, but how much did you invest the the WTC, anyway?

I must admit I like this idea:

As to internment... What was America supposed to do, when some Japanese Americans were actively spying for the Emperor? When its your decision to make, and tens of thousands of American lives hang in the balance, it gets a little tougher.

So basically all of them need to be rounded up because of a few? America should abandon all principles I see. One of the Founders of this country had a quote specifically for times like this.

What scares me more than your post is that you are an eligible voter.

I’m not so much defending internment. I’m merely saying that when the decision is ~yours~ to make... Given the information available at the time it isn’t always so easy as it seems after the passage of decades and with the benefit of hindsight.

You are the President. You know that there are at least a few hundred spies (which was actually true) in the Japanese population of some thousands. How many lives of servicemen in the war, are you willing to sacrifice in order to not inconvenience the innocent Japanese Americans? There will be a cost. It will cost some lives. There will be some ships sunk or not sunk because of this decision. So... How many troops is it worth to you? How many letters home to mothers that lost a son?

A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand? More?

Decisions have consequences. Both ways.

Yeah, that’s the one that should have been built.

[discostu]

No we’ve “just” decided that any person in this country can be detained indefinitely without ever facing charges of any kind.

Terrorism isn’t about changing your religion. It’s about changing your actions. With this we have allowed fear to let us stop being America. They win.

Thanks EdReform.

ok guys, riddle me this...
 
*if* the CONUS is now officially, by fed proclamation, a warzone, what does that do for the 'militia' ??? we have an estimated 10-30 million foreign invaders inside the border, and a declared war [by the jihadi gubmints] and we reside in an official hot zone...

Well now, this opens some interesting challenges to civil authorities. Take, for instance, an informal (or even formal) muster of the militia. This being a war-zone prohibitions against such can be challenged as being aid to the enemy; furthermore, "gun-free zones" are now officially disarming you in a war-zone! So, there are several new ways which we may challenge stupid gun laws.

i thought you would appreciate the legalistic irony of such a fed decree...

maybe time to search out the ky laws on militias...
