Very well put! After all is said and done, it comes down to the simple fact that America is going to have to change its mindset! Religious freedom is one of the pillars of our wonderful country and its way of life that is the envy of the world, but using that freedom to plan deadly attacks on us must be declared unacceptable. Times have changed and if we don't adjust our tactics to adapt to the changes it will be the end of our 200 year experiment with freedom. These are not Catholics playing bingo in the church basement every Tuesday night or Baptists meeting to discuss how to air condition the fellowship hall or Methodists planning a car wash to pay for the youth to go to camp or Jehovah's Witnesses laying out plans for their next canvas of a neighborhood. These are killers who hate us and our way of life and are willing to use our freedoms against us to further their plans. I don't know what the answer is. I am deeply disturbed that almost half the population of America considers John Kerry as the solution instead of part of the problem.

I don't know what the answer is. I am deeply disturbed that almost half the population of America considers John Kerry as the solution instead of part of the problem.

Actually if you listen to the talking heads, they would have you believe that Kerry would carry on the same policies as Bush only changing things around the edges. The fact is that it isn't just Kerry that is the problem. It's the entire leadership of Democrat party that is the problem. They can't be trusted with national security. It's just as simple as that. I believe most of the public believe that as well. The problem is getting them out to vote the way they believe.

I also believe that even the normal rank and file Dems understand that their current party leadership can't be trusted with national security. Lets just hope that their vote in this election reflects their understanding.
