Those Mosques which preach Jihad against America . . .need to be closed down and the Clerics who run them interned for the duration of the war. . . Known supporters of terrorism, of Osama Bin Laden, of al-Qaeda, of Hamas, of Hezbollah, and of any other Islamist group need to be interned for the duration of the war.
Uh oh! Some will wince at that. How dare we deny Constitution rights! It's better we lose our Country. Go figure. So.. like we don't have rights to defend our country?
There's so many good things to emphasize that I'd have to copy most of the article. So I'll just give my thoughts. Supporters of radical Islam are not limited to Muslims. Not all crippling of America requires violent attacks.
There are many reasons we lost the Vietnam war at home while our forces and allies won every battle in Vietnam.
One of those reasons is the support the Communists received from our leftists. Indeed, the North Vietnamese Communists praised the American press as their "most valuable guerilla."
IMO we cannot win the war defending against radical Islam without winning the cultural war also. Look how the left tries to destroy this wartime administration just as they did a generation ago.
Yes, the left has "constitutional" rights to destroy whatever and whoever -- at least they have inalienable rights. We have rights too. We have constitutional and inalienable rights to defend our Country. It's a clash of rights. That means war. Power and will determine whose rights prevail and who survives to dictate what America will be after the wars. The time for polite discussion about "rights" is over. This is war.
We cannot lose these wars. They are for all the marbles.
Hey, just because some eye witnesses saw two guys starting one of the fires is no reason to express the fear that maybe the fires were started by terrorists. I think we should all remain skeptical of this possibility until at least another 300,000 square miles of timber are burned, and a small army of arsonists wearing turbans and carrying flame throwers is spotted by eye witnesses.
Technically this should read "those who advocate the violent overthrow of the government".
Of course those people should be arrested- not just "interned".
I don't see who he wants to intern.
He doesn't say- unless he means those who should be arrested for treason. They are the only ones who would practically fit his standard.
Internment camps for people expressing solidarity with an avowed enemy? During a war? Sure. Worked pretty well in WWII, for the Italian-Americans and German-Americans who expressed solidarity with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany.
For the record, I'm entirely against the Japanese internment camps of the same era -- they rounded up all Japanese, regardless of a lack of expressed solidarity with the Empire of Japan.
So, I take if from your initial 'no' that you do not believe the SoCal fires to be the work of Al-Qaeda -- and from that earlier post, not the work of environmentalists as well.
Al Quada, ELF, ANSWER, Sierra Club - they're all after the same goal when you think about it. IMHO, of course.
If **I** were to select places to begin terrorist wildfires, I would not conveniently locate them so that they affected only relatively sparsely populated and wealthy communities. I'd make sure they hopped the freeways, which almost none of them did.
Secondly, internment is not necessary. Revoking the visas of ALL citizens of terrorist-supporting Muslim states--followed by rounding up and mass deportations--would suffice.

Actually, Glen Beck had a wonderful answer to this: Because, in Mexico, all deadwood is collected and used for fireplaces and cooking pits.
Here, we let it sit.
I'm not going to how you found that out.
Well, that's a strike against the terrorist theory.

I don't agree with doing that. People who are good and honest would be swept up in this act.
Diabolical is a better word. Osamma's 9-11 plan only appeared to be 'brilliant' because few in America were evil enough to comprehend such an attack, let alone prevent it. I hope that what we have learned about our enemy is that the 'brains' behind his operation are not the human form, they get their inspiration from a darker form of intellect. We have forgotten that evil exists, and we have been reminded that it is alive and well.
Second; his love affair with islam is raising eyebrows all over and if he follows suit like he has on other subjects he will probably say something to the effect that he feels the American people would not agree with a heavy handed approach in whacking islam because it is after all a religion of peace! I know your response to this one and I hope all the real Americans will scream their heads off until he hears the message loud and clear. He is not his Imperial Majesty yet and is subject to the will of the people who elected him. This is my official position Mr. President; stop pandering to our enemies and realize the error of your flawed policy in regards to islam. These are Terrorists out to cut your head off Sir! and I for one am tired of all this silliness and dangerous nonsense with our enemies who daily threatten to attack us in the name of islam. One day they will succeed in a big way for all the B.S. (Bovine Scatology) you love to spread around. Be a real hero And defend America not our avowed Enemy lurking and tolerated in the homeland!
I had to do that one time when I brought a new dog home and he and another woke me by fighting in the middle of the night. I couldn't speak for 2 days but the dogs never fought again.
LOL! As I expected, you make it personal, trying to bait. :o)
Is this the part where I'm supposed to get all upset and post a half a dozen expletive-filled messages for your further amusement. ;^)
