As a people we are rapidly being willing to give up all our freedoms of privacy, except of course where birth control is concerned and that is guarded religiously. We are more than happy to be search when we go to the airport just so we can be safe. We are more than willing to give up our liberty and freedom of movement just so we won’t be attacked. We are happy to give up our liberty rather than go to war, and I mean the kind of war that kills people and shows them you mean business and you’re willing to do what it takes to make sure they don’t attack you anymore. Our founding fathers warned us of this, but here we are almost 200 years later and it seems we are paying them no heed whatever.
We have become a nation of sheep. God forbid we should actually kill people in war except very specific targeted individuals. If we care more about the nation we are at war with than they do then something is seriously wrong with the way we look at war. If most of their population is actually against the “small minority of extremists” then they should certainly be able to help put that minority down in the name of peace in their nation. If they are unwilling to do that then maybe we should consider that they actually do support what the extremists are doing.
Rather than think that way we prefer to think there must be something wrong with us going to war to make sure our people are safe. We are more than happy to relinquish every freedom we have so that we won’t be in danger.
We need to be realistic about Islam the problem is that they too have become another politically correct group in the name of tolerance. The question I would ask is “should we show such tolerance toward those who will not be tolerant of us?” Certainly the politically crowd answers no to this question whenever the issue of Christianity comes up. They will not tolerate prayer to a Christian God in school, but they will install places for foot washing for Muslims in those same schools.
These same politically correct people who wear the veil of tolerance are frequently among the most intolerant people I’ve met.
It is about time that at least some of our representatives are looking into such groups as the Muslim Brotherhood and their involvement in our government. Instead of looking at the citizens of this nation as though we were the ones the United States needs to worry about, we need to start looking at those who wish this nation harm and who refuse to obey the laws of this nation.
It amazes me how often I hear things like “Illegal alien” and law abiding citizen in the same sentence. These things are incompatible on so many levels. If they are illegal then by definition they are not law abiding. Second they are not citizens, they are residents. Whether intentionally or not these people put the fabric of our society at risk. When citizenship no longer means anything neither does loyalty or patriotism. Both of these concepts are worth retaining in any society and we must be careful to hang on to them for all we’re worth or we won’t be worth much as a society.
I have little doubt that we have a fair number of radical Muslims in this nation right now. If the 10% we hear about is even partial correct then there is no reason for us to think that figure is any different simply because they live here in the United States. Just living here does not somehow magically make you loyal to our nation.
The politically correct crowd would have us believe if they are American Muslims that they must be loyal to the United States but this is mere political correctness and a lack of understanding of what is found in the Koran.
"Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin
Our founding fathers had a great deal of wisdom and we ignore their great wisdom at our own peril.
