re: #526 brookly red

no a US citizen would be a traitor and the laws are kinda harsh about that…

as far as the foreign national planning to blow up an abortion clinic or something? Why do you feel the need to hide behind semantics? Will it take an attack on your home town for you to acknowledge we have a problem?

1. Plotting to blow up an airliner isn’t treason. It’s a criminal act.

2. It’s not a matter of semantics, it’s a matter of creating definitions. “You know, those people,” is not good enough when creating a game plan to fight terror.

3. My home town has already been offered to the terrorists as a burnt offering by Bill O’Reilly, so you’re a bit late there.

Your big mistake is thinking that I don’t ‘take this seriously’, or ‘realize we’re at war’, ‘acknowledge there’s a problem’, or any of a dozen other cliches. I do. This is life and death. Getting sloppy with our thinking is potentially deadly. Why in God’s name do you think I don’t think we have a PROBLEM, except that I don’t agree with you about torture and how to deal with trying terror suspects? Everyone who ‘gets it’ is supposed to think like you?
