I’m going to say this ONE TIME!

If our nation falls to foreign hands because of snivelers whinning over/for their civil rights...who are you going to whine to.

This nation will survive with the support of all it’s citizens or be ripped apart, because of us arguing among ourselves.

I’m with defense FIRST, So we can enjoy our civil rights!

Yep the commies will be around next week. Oh wait, the Islamonazis. That's some faith you have in the general citizenry of this nation that you believe it could fall to a bunch of desert dwellers with no armed forces to speak of. Now let me say this one time eh?

In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.--James Madison
If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy--James Madison

You want to hide under your bed, hand over your freedoms (present and future) to the government under the auspices of 'protecting' you? Fine the government will gladly do that ~~for~~ to you. But the boogeyman is not coming to take your nation from abroad. It will not 'fall' from without. It will fall from within as 'conservatives' like yourself continue to hand over any damn thing you don't think you need because you want to feel cozy.

Freedom and liberty are not cozy. They are scary. And with them comes the responsibility that you may not always feel safe and that you are going to have dangers that come with it. If you don't feel up to the job just say so..
