"(Doesn't the phrase "hate speak" sound borrowed from the liberal PC propaganda book, anyway?)"

How very astute of you. Yes, that's why I referred to it specifically as "Liberal Hate Speak." You're sharp.

So, if vacationing Americans are kidnapped by Muslim terrorists from a Pacific Island resort (many recent such cases in the news), our Goverment should just ignore them? Or should we rescue them?

And if our citizens should expect the protection of our military, why shouldn't the missionaries? Because they are religious? How hateful of you.

BTW, your claim that the missionaries were converting Catholics to Baptist is a blatant lie. They were there in an assistance/relief effort in a Muslim-and-Christian enclave.

Seems to me that the more you open your mouth, the deeper the hole you dig for yourself.

"I'm Christian"

Of course you are. There, there now.

"Just don't let us pretend it is for the sake of some missionaries. Sets a bad precedent."

I agree, it's not my personal intent to suggest this is for the missionaries...that's just a bonus, it shouldn't be the focus. The focus should be destroying terrorists wherever they hide.
