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 MadisonYou 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 thatIf tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy--James Madison
