Yet we are 10,000 miles away in Iraq trying to make those religious fanatics a democratic society? If we can't protect ourselves, how in hell are we ever going to secure places like Iraq? LOL!
We didn't go with the aim of making Iraq secure. It won't be secure, ever. Neither will this country, ever.
Joe, please think what you're asking. Freedom is much more important than security. The draconian security you want would be impossible, unless we become the USSR. And even they were not secure.
Are you seriously worried about being a victim of terrorism? Is it because of where you live, or what you do? Do you think that the President can make every single border of this country secure, even by fiat? How? And international airports? How?
Our job is to get Iraq to secure themselves eventually. We have killed thousands of terrorist in Iraq and will kill many more that are potential threats to us here. This war has educated many Americans as to what we are facing.Before 911 I would wager only 1 out of a hundred people could tell you anything about fanatical islamist and what they stand for. Yes we are gonn be hit again but we are gonna win this thing, if not , we will die trying. We are never and can never be 100% safe from danger at all times. It is up to each and every one of us to secure our persons, family and property.
Yes, I should be ashamed for thinking our leaders should secure our country from the endless millions entering illegally from who knows where.
I don't know what I was thinking. Forgive me.
Oh, that's our job? LOL!
Lots of luck.
Instead of nation building, let us have some nation destroying.
Good night everyone. May I suggest that you ALL pray for our country?
Joe, I've asked it before, and you've just gotten all emotional on me. How would you secure every in of every border? How would you get rid of every potential terrorist IN the country, especially if they were born here? How is it possible to make us "secure"?
It's impossible, Joe. A better question would be, do you think security is more important than freedom? Because perfect protection--or even the level of protection that the old USSR had--involves a significan tradeoff in liberty for the average "Joe."
As another poster said, we are responsible for our own personal security. Not even a dictator of the US could make us "secure."
There are more Asian and Hindu looking Muslims in this world then Arab, At the same time, there are blond haired blue eyed Muslims in Kosovo.
The terrorist getting off the plane could look like a member of the Norwegian Ski Team, a Japanese business man or a Hindu cab driver (I'm not saying that in a mean spirited way).
Did I mis-state the facts? Was that Bush in stocking feet on 9-12 or not? Were those terrorists standing next to him or not? Some of whom are most likely in the country illegally. Was there a Ramadan celebration at the "People's House" or not? Seems like the only ones being comforted after 9-11 were those responsible for 9-11, lol.
You gonna sit there and tell yourself that "everything possible is being done to protect you", when the president, the congress, the senate, and the Supreme Court, flaunt our immigration laws, refuse to inforce them, and to the contrary promote more illegal immigration? I find hero worship ammusing, just can't resist sharing the laugh.
It irks the crap out of you that this country belongs to all the people, doesn't it? I know you'd prefer it be just whites, but that isn't the way it is.
It gives me great comfort to realize just how uncomfortable other ethnicities make you feel.
I find hero worship ammusing, just can't resist sharing the laugh.
Heroes aren't a bad thing to have; who's yours, David Duke?
Yes, agreed.
Good night, all. I guess I won't get an answer to my question from Joe, so....
Just a final thought: If the Founding Fathers had been more interested in security than in liberty, this would NOT be the United States of America.
God bless us all, especially President Bush.
Good evening Miss Judith...pleasure reading your posts.
The only display of emotion I see here is you, with your lame questions. Don't you get it? DC has no desire to secure our border, or our sovereignty. Hello?
How would you secure every in of every borders? How would you get rid of every potential terrorist IN the country, especially if they were born here? How is it possible to make us "secure"?
Man, you can't be this dense. Again, the government has no desire to secure anything crossing our borders. I mean, with millions entering illegally, routinely, at will, why would you think the US government has any desire to secure our sovereignty or our borders? LOL!
Same here. ;-D
Again, Joe, HOW? And what do you want to give up for security? Liberty?
I'll look for your answer tomorrow. Good night.
Yeowza!
Again Judy, just for you, what I want is meaningless. You just don't seem to get the fact that our government has no desire to implement any real security as far as immigration and our borders are concerned.
There are thousands of way to beef up our security, starting with *real* immigration reform and border security. But again Judy, they have no desire to do this. We now have upwards of 15 *million* people in this country illegally. We haven't a clue who most of these people are. LOL! Is it not clear to you yet that securing our sovereignty, and borders is not part of our governments agenda? I am confident that even you can see this.
And please, stop trying to make me the issue and wake up.
