I think there will be more of "us" and fewer of "you" when that time comes.

I thought we had a Constitutional republic, not a mobocracy.

No card, you have broken the law.

Oh, but you've been ranting almost exclusively about Muslims, with no regard for their citizenship, resident, or visa status!

If you want to talk about deporting illegal aliens, that's a rather different discussion. Sure, we should deal with lawbreakers in a a reasonable fashion; no argument there.

But you've been foaming at the mouth calling for imprisonment or deportation of people solely based on race or religion, which is OBVIOUSLY WRONG.

Pick an issue, FresnoDA, and stick with it - or graciously conceed error. You don't want me quoting your posts verbatum, do you? it would be rather embarrassing.

you tell us where the American muslim equivalent of the 442nd is.

Oh, I do wonder that myself. I'll be quick to observe relative silence on the part of Muslims regarding terrorist acts. I may be suspicious of what their role will be as this plays out. BUT THERE IS NO BASIS FOR JAILING/DEPORTING PEOPLE BASED ON RACE OR RELIGION.

There are a few lines in concrete. When someone starts heading toward one, they must be informed of the line and the consequences.

Deporting illegal aliens is wise. I do not dispute that.

The problem I have with this sub-thread is that VERY LITTLE is said of the "illegal" part, and instead there are wide sweeping calls for imprisoning/deporting ALL Muslims - a vile concept indeed.

Get your argument straight and clear before pushing it, and suggest to FresnoDA that he do the same before someone believes he means what he says.

Well, I don't know if we would all have peace. Undoubtedly the Arabs would continue to rip each other to pieces and find other ways to attack Israel and America, but it would certainly be a step in the right direction to quit laying out the welcome mat to every subversive alien that wants in for a free ride and access to resources to carry out his acts of terrorism.

I haven't always followed real closely what's going on, at least not until X42 was in office and I became genuinely concerned about our national security, but unless I missed some major event somewhere along the line, it seems to me that the Palestinians are the intruders in Israel. That being the case, who the h*** do they THINK they are that they can be bullying people in their own homeland?

I agree that Israel should quit pussyfooting around with these terrorists and blow their a***s to kingdom come and I think we need to do the same and at the very least deport every illegal alien and non-citizen who are here from countries that we know support terorism, revoke existing student visas of students from those countries and DO NOT issue any new ones to them. I am sure some innocent people will be effected by such action and that is too bad, but the fact is that when the welfare of a nation is at stake it really can't be helped. Political correctness is the first enemy we need to take down. After that one, the others will be much less of a problem.

(FYI, conceed - concede      verbatum - verbatim)

Verbatim,

I got your verbatim right here CT.  Take a minute, and remember who you are defending!!!  

It is your comments which are unbelievable!!  America is finished with apologists like you.  We are finished with Moderates like you.

Borders/Language/Culture  Get on board, or get off, the decision is yours!

have you noticed that most of these "muslims" either came from western countries, or were educated here? Maybe we're polluting them!

Yeah, man, that must be it. The true 'peaceful' Islam resides in countries like Indonesia, Sudan, Somalia, Iran, Iraq, Libya...

<\sarcasm>

Islam is an alien culture that cannot reconcile itself with American culture. Every country with a Muslim majority has committed unspeakable acts of persecution against Christians, Jews, and other religious minorities. Islam is the least "tolerant" religion, or theocracy (since religion and politics go hand in hand for most of them - establishing an Islamic theocratic state is the central precept of Islam) on earth... [Why should we] sacrifice the good of the majority of our citizens on the alter of political correctness to pacify weak-kneed, spineless cretins who cower at the idea that we should deport those of a religion and ethnicity that have proven themselves a clear and present danger to our way of life?

Our current problems with terrorism could be effectively minimized while preserving individual liberties--the way the framer's envisioned liberty rather than the conjured up 'freedoms' that the ACLU often champions today. Continuing to try to solve our problems while clinging to the multiculturist worldview will be the death of this nation.

I don't defend Muslims, or terrorists, I am merely decrying racism, which you are advocating by definition

Reading the Koran and the Hadith and coming to obvious conclusions about the express intentions of Islam is not "racism."

Listening to and reading the Islamist party line - which unambiguously calls for the murder of American civilians - is not "racism."

Examining the strident and murderous rhetoric being spewed on a daily basis by Middle Eastern newspapers - which rhetoric derives from the principles of Islam - is not "racism."

Do you know what "race" means? Skin color.

Islamists come in many different skin colors, and from many different nations and ethnic groups, yet they unanimously spew the doctrine of hate and murder of militant Islam.

Your misunderstanding of "racism" is absurd and laughable, but your deliberate naivete about the express, overt, and unambiguous intentions of Islam is shamelessly ridiculous.

Yep, the stupidity required to think up that one is definitely of Middle East caliber.

There's not a lot of "mental" in the "fundimentalist" movement!

How the hell does a Dodge Neon force a tanker off the road?

By becoming a "speedbumb"! IMHO, I think it's bad arithmetic: you have 80,000 pounds going over 2,000 pounds 1 time, with nothing left over!

Take a minute, and remember who you are defending!!!

Who am I defending? INNOCENT INDIVIDUALS - for them I will protect their freedom of religion, freedom from unwarranted search & seizure, freedom to live here in peace as long as they follow reasonable laws.

YOU, on the other hand, are frothing at the mouth screaming for the rounding up and deporting of all Muslims & Arabs, regardless of whether they had anything to do with 9/11-WTC or not. It is you whose rantings are practically indistinguishable from the "reasoning" of Al-Qaidah members, calling for the expulsion & destruction of "them" because "they" are vaguely & tenuously related to a handful who have done actual harm.

It is your comments which are unbelievable!!

Is it so unbelievable to protect the rights of those who have done nothing wrong? Is it so unbelievable to stand on American principles of individual rights, supporting people's rights regardless of religion or skin color?

If I follow your reasoning, we should also intern/expel all white American right-wing patriotic gunowners because they vaguely resemble Timothy McVeight - we wouldn't want to risk any "Remember Waco" types blowing up more buildings, right?

Sit down, take a breath, wipe your mouth, and think very carefully about what you're saying, FresnoDA. What you're posting flies completely against the Constitution. And in calling me names, you're simply projecting.
