Call me cynical, but I have a problem with open-ended laws being passed as permanent installations to our legal code.

I tell you this: If it were 60 years ago, this guy would've been under house arrest as a threat to national security. He has no IDEA how bad things can REALLY be, even in a free society, when we're at war.

We're not at war. We have no declaration of war. If we did, we could declare martial law, which I don't have a problem with. We can get out from under martial law when the war has been won. The current approach is a power grab. I don't care how you want to justify it, it's more power to Washington at our expense, at our loss.

The frustrating thing is that it doesn't have to be this way if we had some leaders with a decent pair between their legs. Everyone is so afraid to offend somebody. Sorry about the Japanese thing, but it was arguably necessary at the time. We fought to win. Here, we are fighting not to lose.

Don't be naive.

Ah, but this time it's about WHITE guys, eh?
