I have a question Freepers! Your thoughts on this would be a big help! I just don't know what to think anymore.

We have the best military in the world, probably could take most of the world on in a war and still come out on top. What I don't understand is, we want racial equality, peace and prosperity for all Americans, freedom to worship, to raise our children without too much government interference. We want all of the good things that America started out fightng for in the beginning. We go out of our way to hunt down terrorist all over the world and wipe them out.

We don't want our government to crutch our free-speech, that's for sure. We want to be able to disagree with other's, debate and argue in a civilized manner. I think everone here knows's exactly what we want our country to be. But as I speak, we have brave men and women fighting and dying for those rights.

Why do we allow "seditionist" among us? Why do we allow anyone to stay in this great nation of ours that want's nothing but her death, and our's as well? Traitors that hate us? People bent on killing all of some day?

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but Freepers, they do not deserve what these men and women are dying for. They do not deserve our Constitutional Rights if all they preach is our distruction right here in our home, they do not deserve to be educated at our schools while at the same time talk of an overthrow of this country of ours. This is our home, this is American.

No, I am one person that does not believe everyone "in" American deserves to be treated equally, that is a privelege that should be reserved for the Americans that love her and respect her, and would not do anything to harm her. Seditionists and folks that call for violence against here do not belong, I do believe if they thought they were going to be thrown out, they would change the record.

Am I wrong?

Thank you

I believe you are right. When you think about how the defiition of these terms could get modifed over time, however, it starts to get a little disturbing. Maybe, I'm wrong - seditionist is a pretty clear term, but just look at how the ignorant are working on un-defining "terrorist"...

According to Websters.com:

se·di·tion     (s-dshn)
n.
  1. Conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of a state.
  2. Insurrection; rebellion.

Still, I share your disgust with this and feel that there needs to be a line past which Americans will not tolerate.
