"It does no good for us to be dead and theoretically free," he said. "I'd rather be alive and fight for our freedom. . . For the duration of the danger, I am in favor of more intrusion into our civil liberties as we had during World War II."

Duration of the danger? There's no time limit that I can see, it's open ended.

Blanckley is pretty much clueless if you ask me.

Simply start expelling every single visa holder from a muslim country and we'll go along way towards reducing the danger.

No more tourist visas, no more student visas, no more visas period.

Then we forbid any foreign government from funding mosques.

Then we fire every single wahabbi imam in the US prison system and deport them back to Saudi.

That'll do for a start.

Once the government has a toe hold into which of our civil liberties to suspend, as Blankley is advocating, would we ever get them back? With the way our government is moving today I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.

Actually radical Islam warrants the increased surveillance of muslims and not the general population.

I agree. They would be a thing of the past.

Now, now. That's racial profiling. Off to a reeducation camp with you.

It's more satisfying to them to try to take away our rights than it is to target the culprits.
