The leftists convinced you there are no such thing as terrorists? I've talked with radical muslims, sorry, but they do exist. But you can try to bury your head and say they are simply a bogeyman if it makes you feel better.
Why should I be subjected to pat-downs at football games, taking off my shoes at the airport, walking through metal detectors when I get on a train..?
Well, the idea is to catch those who are attempting to bring items to blow up and/or kill others. Not all that difficult to grasp, really. Now one can argue that those methods are inadequate to instill security, but the general intention is security.
Our leaders don't want to eliminate this threat. Just like they didn't really want to beat the Soviet Union for almost 50 years.
Really...have proof for that? No? Just speculation on your part, isn't it? But go ahead and spout whatever you like, it's a free country. Just realize, your post sounds much like something from DU.
Lunatic Fringe isn't saying there is no such thing as terrorists. He is saying is that they're literally hanging around our necks like an albatross and being "treated with kid gloves" by world leaders. An American should be able to walk through any city around the globe and simply hoist their American passport over their head for perfectly safe passage through the turmoil around them.
Terrorists need to be put on the defensive. They should understand that so much as kidnapping an American citizen (nevermind torturing, starving, and beheading) will result in immediate, overwhelming, and catastrophic retribution about which their grandchildren will hear frightening stories.

I never said that. So because I disagree with pat-downs in public places, suddenly I'm a LIBERAL? What happened to Free Republic???? When was it taken over by the idiot Sean Hannity wing of conservatism???? Oh, wait.. I know. When they elected that idiot in the White House.
