I'm glad to see that many of us would have placed that "9/11 fan" with his virgins.

 

I guess Jefferson and the other founding fathers got it wrong then:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights"

I guess they were just ****ing around when they spoke of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

If I, like most Americans, heard someone saying that we got what we deserved on 9/11, I would be obviously offended. However, calling an entire group of people "animals" based on the actions of a few is ignorant. If Muslims are "animals" because of the horrible actions of some of their people, then couldn't one call honorable members of the US military "animals" due to the horrible actions of a few dishonorable soldiers? Throwing such a broad label over a group of people doesn't accomplish anything and only breeds more hatred.

I hate hatred.... But not as much as radical Islamists. I want to pickle them in pork broth and let my dog lick it off of them, then I'd beat them with my flip flop, smack 'em around with my left hand; all during prayer time.

 

Hey, don't give me the third degree, I didn't call anybody a freakin animal. But I do think that anyone who supports the death of 2000 plus innocents doesn't deserve to have any rights. That's just sociopathic and inexcusable.

 

Sure, because our founding fathers penned the Declaration of Independence and Constitution in a totally benign environment. No doubt that historical accounts of a brutal British occupation, featuring assaults on American life and liberty are totally overblown and it was one big picnic back then.

Those of you that seem to favor being scared and reaching for more guns in such 'scary times' as these, while eschewing the basic human rights of those that frighten you are doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the founding fathers wanted for our nation. What's the point of the last 230 years if we abandon the foundations (rights to life, liberty, habeus corpus, bans on cruel/unusual punishment, etc) of this country every time we perceive a threat that doesn't fit a previous experience, even if it's Islamic terrorists crashing planes into buildings? This is the very definition of selling out your patriotism, and seems to be the true legacy of the Bush years.

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. "
-Ben Franklin, 1755

 

Sorry about that, I probably should have put another quote in there .


Bingo.

 

Wow... you sound almost as close minded and extremist as the terrorists with your comment.
