If that is what we are facing -- and I think that we are -- why are we focusing on Americans without shutting down the borders? Why aren't we bombing them into oblivion everywhere that they are found? Why are we still referring to their 'faith' as the religion of peace?
The feds haven't shut down the borders.
They haven't rounded up the illegals.
They haven't armed the pilots (to any measurable degree).
There are more IRS agents with guns pointed at us to make sure that we haven't cheated the government out of the tax on our Christmas bonus than there are INS agents with guns at the border to stop illegal immigration or drugs or terrorists from entering.
When the government exercises it's properly delegated authority to protect the nation, and we are still at risk, then a review of power should be looked at, but not until then.
Don't treat me as a potential terrorist when you haven't moved to stop them from entering the country.
The government is protecting it's own bloated ass, not yours or mine. Don't lose sight of that little fact.
