Are you really that much in fear of your life from terrorism? You haven't been keeping up with the news. You are more likely to be killed by police who raid the wrong house or killed by a drunk driver than even see a terrorist in action. You really need to get your "knee-jerk" fear under control ... down to the level of the actual threat.

"Are you really that much in fear of your life from terrorism?"

Oh quite the contrary, I am covered by the blood of Jesus...if I go I go.

My concern is for my Nation. One single Nuclear detonation in Washington DC with our government in place would easily lead to worldwide economic collapse, invasion of Democratic South Korea, Israel, Taiwan and possibly even the United States itself by foreign powers as well as the immediate suspension of civil law and the ordinance of Military rule. You wanna see your Constitutional Rights chewed up…wait for that to happen…

None of that is far-fetched or unreasonable to predict. It is the logical end result if established federal authority [including military] was to be severely damaged.

You may not like the fact that we now have responsibility for other Nations [economically/democratically/militarily] but your personal like, dislike agreement or disagreement as to its Constitutionality has no affect on the fact that the responsibilities are indeed there. Ignoring them or brushing them aside as Unconstitutional is remarkably capricious. At what point do you sober up and admit that the 1700’s are gone and they are never, ever coming back? At what point do you sober up and admit that this Government of ours or the relationships we now have with the rest of the World will never be dismantled from within to the size of our original government or it's responsibilities shrunk to pre-1800 levels?

Our Constitution is indeed the foundation that this Nation stands on but to honestly believe in the possibility of a return to the original state of national and international affairs that our Nation enjoyed when the document was written and established is willfully infantile and ignorant.
