Actually, to be more correct,

Clinging to Religion, gun nuts with assault rifles.

Leftists just have a different definition for “freedom”.

Freedom to them is the freedom from responsibility for your choices,

not the freedom to succeed or fail based on your choices.

Agreed, declaration of war should have been made.
Also, Bush should have used tactical nukes on those valleys in Afghanistan within days of 9-11.

The nation should have been told we are now on war footing, there will be economic sacrifice to fight it.

Most Americans are so insulated from the war, they scarcely know it was going on during their daily lives.

Bush insulated and protected the people from it all too well.

Instead of “enemy combatants” just call them “Obama’s butt boys”.

"Law-of-war principles do not limit the United States' detention authority to this limited category of individuals. A contrary conclusion would improperly reward an enemy that violates the laws of war by operating as a loose network and camouflaging its forces as civilians."

Maybe now they’ll be called terrorists?

Words have meaning. “enemy combatant” has a very specific meaning and is recognized by international law. Bush applied it properly.

The left continues to destroy words and their meaning. They take words and blacklist them so that can be no longer used without fear. Then other words they redefine to suit their purposes. To “contribute” went from being a voluntary action to being done by force - which is ultimately slavery.

They subvert the 1st amendment whenever it is in their way.

That is the logical conclusion.

And the left is too stupid to understand that.

So we’re back to “terrorist” then? Perhaps "undocumented immigrant"?

Protecting the "rights" of terrorists is a job politicians can proudly add to their resumes, eh? Guessing their compatriots at the UN must be happy with each and every concession we give toward those who hate America.

I’m sure the new descriptive term will be “Insane, backwards, barbaric, intolerant Islamofascist fanatics, anti-Semitic and (crude word for used condom) fruitcakes.”
