This country is in the mess it is because of liberal/moral relativists like yourself applaud idiocy and plain cockeyed thinking.

I would hardly call myself liberal. I support people's right to have their own thoughts and express them, even if they are stupid. I'm sorry, I love the Constitution, you may not, that's your thing, but I support your right to speak out against free thought/free speech, kinda ironic eh?

You don't applaud errant thought - you try to educate it. Failing that - you treat it with derision.

That is true Comrade, we must send her to the re-education camps immediately! We cannot allow these "thoughts" to spread among the population, otherwise our iron-grip over this country will dissolve.

Seriously, are you really that afraid of some 15 year old girl that your willing to brainwash her?

If they want to pull a little Johnny Taliban and go off the path to the point where they are fighting us, then I'll get some rope, you find a tree. But some little 15 year old girl speaking out for what she believes in, right or wrong, is not a threat to you or I.

Look Tex - its like this (excuse me, thats a bit didactic...it seems like this to me - that agree with your tender sensitivities better?), she is anti-war: thats fine, we all are; unless its a just war. Now it seems to me that we are involved in a just war - and the tender 15 year old whose mind & capacity for reasoning is not yet fully formed, needs someone who understands right from wrong, good from evil and bad guys from good guys to sit down with her and educate her in the ways of the world and the righteousness of our cause.

If, because someone has waited 15 years too long to start that process - then it may be almost too late to save her as a constructive citizen of the USOFA - without some pretty harsh shaming her for her misguided and misbegotten beliefs - probably instilled by bleeding heart liberal parents. John Walker (Lindh) was, in all likelyhood raised by parents with the same lack of attention to education in civics, democracy and values.

Education can be done with compassion - allowing someone to stray as far (dare I say left) wrong as she appears to be headed without an attempt at righting her direction is a diservice to her, our nation and the process of democratization of our world.

One further thing; yesterday was the 90th day from the day terrorists, the ones that we are attempting to wipe out, killed without provocation, or warning, 3500+/- of our citizens. If your not still pissed, then I worry more about you than her.
