Japanese interment camps during WWII - mistake. Islamophobia - mistake. >Ignoring the coming storm and thinking it is just a afghan/Syrian/lLibyan/Pakistani >Israel/Africa/India....see a problem here? Nope. But I do see people getting ready to make the same mistake that John Quincy Adams warned us of: ========== Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will America's heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will recommend the general cause, by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself, beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force…. She might become the dictatress of the world: she would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit. America's glory is not dominion, but liberty. Her march is the march of the mind. She has a spear and a shield: but the motto upon her shield is, Freedom, Independence, Peace. ============ >it isn't going to help you keep it and your right the odds of me losing me >head to anyone is beyond slim......the odds of being blown up? Still way less than the odds of being killed by lightning. But live in fear of whatever you like; it's a free country. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL your bottom feeder (lawyer) you can come up with something better then that can't ya. As to what I'm doing I'm preparing my family and those around us as well as making sure to call out evil and not sit back because someone might call me names. When a liberal can't it attack the message they attack the messenger. I'm good with that. You see if I'm wrong no big deal if your wrong...and again those folks in Boston never seen it coming and neither will the next ones..
