This exchange tells you all you need toknow about how the Left views the world.
In one of the most comical, and equally tragic, interchanges in recent congressional history, during a joint Senate/House Homeland Security hearing on “Homegrown Terrorism: The Threat to Military Communities Inside the United States,” Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas’ Security Affairs Paul Stockton was asked by Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA), former attorney general of the state of California, on the source of the threat to America and its troops. The exchange proceeded as follows: REPRESENTATIVE DANIEL LUNGREN (R-CA): Secretary Stockton, are we at war with violent Islamist extremism? MR. STOCKTON: No, sir. We are at war with al-Qaeda, its affiliates – REP. LUNGREN: OK, I understand that. My question is, is violent Islamist extremism at war with us? MR. STOCKTON: No, sir. We are being attacked by al-Qaeda and its allies. REP. LUNGREN: Is al-Qaeda — can it be described as being an exponent of violent Islamist extremism? MR. STOCKTON: They — al-Qaeda are murderers with an ideological agenda – REP. LUNGREN: No, I — that’s not my question. That wasn’t my question. My question was, is al-Qaeda acting out violent Islamist extremism? MR. STOCKTON: Al-Qaeda is a violent organization dedicated to overthrowing the values that we intend to advance – REP. LUNGREN: So is it yes or no? MR. STOCKTON: Can I hear the question again? I’ll make it as clear as I can. We are not at war with Islam. And it is not – REP. LUNGREN: I didn’t ask that — I did not ask that, sir. I asked whether we’re at war with violent Islamist extremism. That’s my question. MR. STOCKTON: No, we’re at war with al-Qaeda and its affiliates. http://pjmedia.com/blog/obamas-natio...-10-of-2011/3/ |

But see, if American citizens were able to handle this themselves, there would be no islamic extremists in the US, boarding airplanes or anywhere near us. The government has failed to do the one fucking thing it was constitutionally ordered to do, protect American citizens. |

Frankly, their purpose is to protect liberty.. That's the only reason we need them at all.
They'd rather fret over nonsense, however... and attack liberty in an effort to "save" it. It's absurd.. If a nuke fell on DC tomorrrow, people wouldn't notice till their transfer paymnet failed to arrive.. That's how critical they are. |

I'm sick of the WOT.. One must sacrifice freedom to win the war against those that hate us because of our freedom. |
