“The idea that the US government is the enemy and that Islam is not is, well, NUTS.”
You’re mistating what I said. I said the US gov is a greater threat than Islamic terrorists. I think this is sort of self evident. After all, who steals 40-50% of what we own, Islamic terrorists or our government? Who indoctrinates our children, Islamic terrorists or our government? It goes on and on.
One aspect of returning to the constitution is a first step: enact the FairTax. It's not a matter of if, but when the first country installs a consumption tax type FairTax as the primary means of tax collection.
The first developed country that does that will have an almost unfair advantage for attracting productive citizens, new businesses and jobs.
To stay competitive for jobs and tax dollars other countries will have to follow suit or lose increasing number of productive citizens to countries that use a FairTax consumption tax as the sole or primary means of collecting taxes.
United States must take the lead in this true solution to defeating terrorism. First defeat it from within and it will spread on it's own to other countries. Science and business can defeat terrorism with the help of the government held to the original meaning of the constituion. The sooner the better.
