I haven’t abandoned my support of American principles at all.
I have abandoned my support of their rights as human beings.
They are my mortal enemy. I give them exactly as much regard as they give me, and that is none.
If they insist upon following their current path, then we are destined to meet in battle, and one thing that I will not bring with me is mercy.
I’m not going to feel guilty about it either. If someone is intent of destroying my beloved country, then they are going to have to go through me the hard way.
“I haven’t abandoned my support of American principles at all.
I have abandoned my support of their rights as human beings.”
Those two statements are in direct contradiction... unless your idea of “American principles” is very different from mine. You know, believing that ALL men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.
