Why do you want terrorists to dictate how we run our country
Good question. Ask the whiners who allied themselves with Khalid Shiekh Mohammed when we tried to extract information from him.
Poor winnar thinks he's a great American but he's actually an American turd who is as unAmerican as you can get. But it is the way of simpering little cowards to demand any injustice be done so long as they feel it protects them. Poor dumb winnar is a true American traitor and terrorist, the first to surrender his freedoms at the smell of the slightest threat. Our forefathers would have shot him and left him for dead.
Maybe the founders would have. Modern liberals, though, decide to befriend traitors, rapists, murderers, and terrorists to try to spare them the death penalty.
It is quite possible that many liberals are nuts. What I believe is this:
I think terrorists succeed when our fear of them causes us to limit our own freedoms and legal protections we wisely placed in law to protect us from a gone mad state. What I want to do if fight terrorism legally and responsibly in a way that defeats them without destroying our own moral integrity. It is not that I love terrorists but that I love our real American way. I am not so much a coward that I can't live with some risk. I trust in the rule of law and our constitutional freedoms and their power to win in the war of ideas against what the terrorists represent, which is pretty much nothing. I am a far greater than they and do not need to lower myself to their level.
I also learned how to think critically, somehow, and know that punishment is not the way to fix crime. What cures crime is social justice, the action of justice in society. I do not love murderers or rapists, but I know that killing them will only justify their killing us in their own minds. Again, I am far better than them. I don't have to rape or murder them to get even. I am a superior person, you see. I know that killers and rapists were subjected to profound hate as children and have their own need to get even. I don't add to their need by having the same need myself. Remember, I am superior to them, you see?
Because every person was born perfect every person can be redeemed. It's not that they will or want to be, but that they can be, given time and wisdom. You are stupid and I am wise, so we see this differently, you see?
But you are redeemable and can become wise like me. I love the part of you that can be redeemed. I just don't have much use for the most of you which is a shit head. I have hope for humanity. You have given up.
