There is no way to bring intelligence to people who think that their government is against them. We must stand up and defend ourselves against those who wish to see us dead, or we'll be as blindly attacked as we were on 9.11.01. However, if those who saw the truth were all that were left, we'd only have Republicans in the White House and running the free world for all eternity. Too bad we can't provide directions to the houses of those who oppose being American to the next set of attackers. Then again, they wouldn't target you because you'd rather denounce the true God that is Christian and become Islamofascists than defend one nation under God. UNDER GOD, People! Not under weak, pathetic, drivelling idiots who denounce Christianity in an attempt to make sure their children can sleep with and marry whomever they wish. Adam and Eve... not Adam and Steve, kids.
