To win the war effort against terrorists, we're going to have to get tough, and we can't allow the internal enemy to sink our efforts.

Yes, I too, worry about what this might do to us. What if the terrorists force us to use multiple nuclear weapons on their moslem homelands? What if internal terrorists force us to round up arabs and moslems in this country at the slightest offense? What if we have to get tough with liberal and libertarian punks who try to inhibit the war effort? We survived the War Between the States and kept our constitutional republic. I think we'll survive this too. But there will be challenges and tough times ahead.

Some might disagree with you on this point - especially since Mr. Lincoln suspended habeus corpus and arrested judges, legislators and others to help his war effort. Did the Constitution and the Republic associated with it truly survive?

You might want to try to ally the fears of those of us who are distrustful of government power with another example, dontcha think?

I'm going to work, hopefully I won't disappear and will be able to return to read the anticipated flames...

Ever here of the concept 'the consent of the governed?' It was thrown out in the war of northern aggression. After the Federal imperial government got done with the south they turned west to cleanse the west of the impurity known as Native Americans.

How about if the UN came in here and said, "We feel sorry for the genocide committed against these people therefore we are moving everyone out of the pacific northwest and giving them a homeland of their own."

Don't you realize how fascistic this sounds? Who is the "internal enemy"? Anyone who doesn't agree with you? You and your buddies belong at Stormfront with talk of "the internal enemy".
