She said during that interview that the United States "must do whatever it takes" to fight terrorism. This implies the same amoral existentialism that terrorists use. It goes against the very principles of Western civilization that the jihadists seek to destroy.

And JFK said we should "pay any price, bear any burden..."

I suppose she could be accused of plagiarizing from Malcolm X (”by any means necessary”), but that should win her points.

Obviously, JFK was amoral, according to these intellectual idiots.

I subscribe totally to the proposirion that a national leadership's (any nation) first and most important duty is the safety of its citizens.

Citizens vote for their leaders; they do not vote for the Christian Science Monitor or any other self-appointed arbiter of "proper political structure."

This is one clear instance where the separation of church and state is rightfully viewed as absolute.

I have my faith and my duty to my conscience. My view of my country is entirely and distictly separate.

As even an infidel from Turkey so accurately stated:

"Everybody must know that the Turkish armed forces will not tolerate the use of the opportunities of democracy by the enemies of the system as a means to dynamite the basic principles of our state...”
retiring Chief of Staff General Huseyin Kivrikoglu, Turkey

That holds true for external and internal enemies of our country, as well as well-meaning domestic "Christian" idiots.
