Straw Man - geeez you guys like this argument. Always trying to compare apples to oranges, and then declaring victory for you argument. It's a logical FALLACY, please stop using it.

WWII was about retaliation against a KNOWN PARTICULAR NATION(S) for waging war against the US.

If you cannot see the difference between a known, guilty entity and a diffuse band of terroists, then you need to grow up.

It must be wonderful living way up in child-like clouds of ignorance and denial.

What we are experiencing is a new form of warfare where states do not attack with national emblams painted on their wings.

It is warfare none the less.

But don't worry, we will defend the weaklings and cowards and pacifists and stupid along with the rest of Americans.

Well done against the knee jerks.

As you say, their straw man debate tactics only highlight their lack of basic constitutional principles.
-- Freeing this terrorist sympathizing punk on constitutional grounds is a win for individual freedom, & for a free republic, ---- and a loss for authoritarians.

That loss is the jerks real problem.

Before you call others dense, you should read your own tripe. You have said "straw man" at least five times and it is getting to sound rather hollow and annoying.

You know realpatriot71, if this were a story about the jack booted thugs performing an illegal search for someone's guns everyone would be on your side. As much as I dislike letting this sub-human piece of crap skate, I must be consistant and support the constitution.

That being said, however, there is not much left of the constitution to defend thanks to democraps and RINOs.

If however this person is not a US citizen then that is a horse of a different color.
