Now this -- THIS, my friend -- this is what I am talking about. If the Good Guys will identify themselves and show who they are in differentiation from the Bad Guys....

Read this essay and mull over what I wrote you. This is what I was saying, only this author was actually articulate.

What do you mean people who contribute to this site?

may i infer from your #13 that you've been given hell in this regard ?

if so, and there are moderators censoring posts because of a sentiment
that probably 90% of us share, then all of us need to know about it.

at the last DC FReep, in conversation with leadpenny and federal farmer (?),
i pointed over at the White House and asked rhetorically if our President
has advisors who actually understand what this sham religion is about.

while the 'islam is peace' bullshit is obviously proselytized for PR and/or
sedative purposes, the effort will fail after another atrocity comparable to 9-11.

if that comes to pass, our resident muslims will need all the allah they can get...

You are correct. As this proceeds, and particularly if there are more major attacks ... there will have to be a clear and unequivocal statement of allegiance to America and its principles voluntarily made.

Otherwise, they will risk bitter reprisals and backlashes by an enraged populace. The time for them to show where they stand is now ... and it must be voluuntary and before the crisis for it to be believed by the people. Unfortunately, once such a backlash begins, however much many of us may try and prevent innocents from being caught up in it ... it will be almost impossible to restrain. This is just a fact of history. People will only be slaughtered for so long before reacting harshly against those they perceive are responsible.

The time to act and show their commitment and dissolve the perception is now IMHO.
