What was it you said....I don't believe that we have to give up our freedom in order to be more safe. First of all, I'm not afraid of a terrorist..I'm not afraid,

You are afraid. You think our freedom is worth our destruction? Freedom taste good on crackers. In the end, both will be lost, for a time. Freedoms can be regained, destruction and anniliation cannot. If you haven't figured that out, your in worse shape than I thought. I'm willing to go down swinging to prevent our destruction, you are not, and that is what seperates us.

and I refuse to change my life because of what someone may or may not do to me. In my view, that is letting them win.

That's killing them before they kill you.

You just keep getting better.

I just don't believe it's worth giving our freedom up for..Our president says that they hate us for our freedom, well why give them what they want, and make ourselves less free?

According to your own words our freedom isn't worth fighting for. Don't do anything, don't change anything, they'll leave us alone. You're stupid and an appeaser to boot.

Secondly, if you are afraid go into "protective custody" or go hide behind mommies skirt, because I don't want to give up my freedom because you're a chicken...I'm really confused about the changes my party is going through right now. I never thought I would witness the party I have always associated with courage and strengh wimp out like it is right now.

What you are witnessing is the opposite of what you are seeing. Appeasers and apologist be damned. You see it as wimping out, I see it as growing balls.

You belong at DU, that's their opinion as well, to see this country destroyed just to preserve rights that would be the first to go. Wear your damn burka. Women have so many rights under shira law.

Oh and BTW...kiss my ass newbie.

Well, you can kiss my ass, newbie.

You are here a bit over a year and you think that that somehow qualifies you to be rude to a newcomer who doesn't agree with you?

Conservativehoney has shown more respect for the rules here being new than you do with your 15 months of experience.

You are confusing your desire to feel safe with actually being safe. CH is willing to risk her safety to be free. I'd rather her have my back anytime than I would you.

I believe that you owe the lady an apology now.

ch, I really hope that you are a lady. LOL

I'm not afraid of anyone...And I'm proud of the men and women that are fighting for my freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan..My cousin Kevin just joined up with the Marines, and I could not be more proud of him. Our freedoms are worth fighting for, that's why we shouldn't just give them away...The president said it himself.."We're fighting them over there, so we don't have to fight them here." I agree with him on that issue 100%...But I do not agree that I have to give up my freedom to appease the very people that hate me for it. (That by definition is letting them win.) I'm new here, and I don't even know what du is, but I'm guessing it isn't a good thing because you're trying to equate me to them... But that isn't the point..The point is I'm proud of my country, and I'm proud to be free, but I'm not going to give up my freedom to appease a terrorist. I love my country, and I love my party.. My country is free, and my party has always stood for smaller government, and lower taxes...I like both just the way they are, and I'm not going to let a terrorist have this victory as long as I have a choice in the matter. Have you even thought about what could happen if Hildabeast has these powers if the lefties get back in power?? Then what if they decide they need to take our guns to keep us safe from terror too?... There we set, they can spy on our every move, do whatever they want, and we have no way to protect ourselves or our families. I have no intention of appeasing the terrorists by making myself less free..Why do you feel differently?? Why do you think we should give them what they want?? Our freedom is worth any cost, as long as we remain free as a result of that cost...People have fought and died for ages in this country for freedom..Why should it be any different now, especially when that's what the terrorists want in the first place?

Freedom tastes good on crackers.

Freedom is not a frivolous luxury, it is what we need to live our lives, create wealth and, most important of all, defend our security.

Freedoms can be regained, destruction and annihilation cannot.

Backwards. We can always rebuild our buildings. Terrorists can never kill so many of us that we cannot replace our population. But once enough freedom is lost, it can be nearly impossible to get it back. A tyrant can not loosen his grip without losing his life.

This country is the richest country in the world largely because, for years, we were the most free. Freedom creates wealth and wealth creates security.

Whenever you feel the urge to give the Federal government more power, always ask yourself this question: "Do I want President Hillary to have this authority?"
