Why do you want to go to bat for a maggot like Padilla?Because under a Bush administration, the maggots are Padilla; but under a liberal Democrat administration, the 'maggots' become us.
Good grief.You are at war, and now you want to project your fantasies about the Dark Night of Fascism comin' for you under a Heinrich Hillary administration? Are you that alienated to get worked up over such a possibility, so remote, that you will risk lettting loose a killer like Padilla because of what MIGHT happen, according to your understanding of the possibility of it happening? You can see that far ahead to that day when your scenario takes place?
You have spelled out perfectly a recipe for capitulation in the face of a hostile foe.
