It is not complacent to resist giving up the freedoms that make us Americans for no purpose whatsoever. Eliminating Curbside check-in, shaking down "Suzy Chapstick", and any number of other procedures which do nothing more than lull the gullible into a false sense of security, would have done nothing to prevent this weeks atrocities, and will do nothing to prevent them in the future.

In fact, it will take principle and discipline and courage to maintain our way of life in the face of all this. We must insist, demand and as one voice ORDER our political leaders to use our tax dollars for their only legitimate purpose, common defense.

The answer is not to limit our freedoms. The answer is to, at any cost, annihilate all who would dare to challenge our ability to live in peace. The answer is to strike abject terror into the hearts and minds of the opposition.

Rather than admonitions not to take our freedoms for granted, the world must know not to make assumptions about what we will tolerate.

Take a look at Israel's airline and I think you'll see the idiocy in the above statement. We must give up SOME of our freedoms to put our husbands and wives on planes and feel somewhat secure. I don't suggest "eliminating curbside check-in", I suggest armed guards on our planes. Nothing can prevent ALL terrorism, but we could have been MUCH more prepared than we were Tuesday. We lost four passenger planes. That is ludicrous. Don't tell me that giving up a few of our "freedoms" wouldn't have prevented, at the least, one of the planes going down.
