“TOC! I thought you were sticking to trolling the obama eligibility threads - yet here you are, making light of the swinish islamic takeover efforts.

Maybe not so strange, considering what Obama is, after all.”

I'm not making light of the threat. But I'm proud of this country, the land of the free and the home of the brave. And I've fought as an American soldier. I know how we fight wars, and I know the vast gulf between our capabilities and those of most adversaries. I know the enormous reservoirs of common sense and practicality in this country no matter how much we bleat about the sheeple every time a Democrat wins an election. I recognize Islam as a potential threat, but I'm not scared of it. That doesn't mean I take it's side; far from it.

If Obama or anyone else ruins us, it won't be because of some secret Islamic conspiracy. it will be because of Western philosophies that debilitate and degrade free nations. We already know what those are and used to rightly focus on them. I'm simply saying gage the various threats out there and don't blow one all out of proportion at the expense of others that may be more real.

What we have to fear is not these

Accidentally cut off. The last line was this.

What we have to fear is not the phantoms that make us feel most engaged, but the very real and slow corrosion of our own principles occurring all around us.
