You are right of course. On a certain level that association is valid.
The basic problem with many "fringers" is their inability and/or unwillingness to understand and fully appreciate the responsibility they have as American citizens. I believe its the duty of every American to speak out in support of Constitutional rights and against government wrong doing. At the same time, however, its just as important that all American's be willing to make sacrifices during a time of war. And contrary to a few belligerent loudmouths, America is at War. That's the way I see it.
