Keep your fear mongering south of the border Bart.
Keep your denial to yourself. It wasn't the Amish who've been killing your soldiers in your own country.
QBC QBC:
The price of freedom should never be freedom itself.
I agree. That's why I don't engage in
pathological altruism, the practice of aiding and enabling people who hate you and who want to cause harm to you or your way of life.
QBC QBC:
A fact that was forgotten in the US post 9/11. We don't wish to live in a paranoid, police state like you do.
Aside from the militarized police, you already do.
QBC QBC:
We will meet each threat as it comes and damn those who think that acts like this will force us to alter our lives and give up our rights and freedoms because of them. When you do, the terrorists have won.
I'm saying you need to protect your rights and freedoms by asking those who are
making war on you to leave Canada.
But you're not there yet because the level of carnage that's required for you to part with your well-intentioned notions hasn't been reached yet.
Maybe if there's a re-enactment of the Beslan tragedy or the Nairobi Mall slaughter you'll change your mind. Or maybe not. In any case, we'll see because I guarantee you that what we've seen this month is not an aberration, it's the start of the same pattern I've seen in too many other places.
Don't get me wrong, I hope nothing bad happens. But hope isn't enough. There has to be action to prevent this from happening again and the only action that will absolutely prevent this from happening again is to ask these people to quit their fanatical socio-political-religious system or leave.
And just to be clear, I don't support a 'kill them all policy'. To the contrary what I propose would prevent a 'kill them all' reaction.
