Perry has it right. Jihadists have no loyalty to any secular state or gov't.
The U.S. has gone down the sewer pipe of political correctness and over sensitivity to other cultures. We have ceased to say that we have an American culture, and if you want to come here, adopt our way of living, our dress, our language, or stay where you are. That is now considered a radical position to take. It was what we taught and believed 100 years ago when America was being built by immigrants from everywhere, who quickly adopted American ways, dress, language, and policies.
But, unfortunately, it's the position of most liberals now to cow-tow to the ridiculous concept of "diversity".
Mick, here's the rub:
You are a liberal - OK, I can deal with what that used to mean in the days of FDR. What I can't understand in this day and age is how you can vote for people like O'Bama, Pelosi, and all of the other modern day liberals who have bastardized the very nature of liberalism into blind failure to preserve any American, national identity.
You all called GWB stupid - well, he had the guts to tell the Taliban to "cough him up or else" when it came to bin Laden after 9/11. Sure, the war hasn't resulted in catching him yet, but does that mean we shouldn't be trying?
This war won't end for a LONG time. Remember your history of the American Indian wars? They started in earnest in 1865, right after the Civil War ended, and Geronimo surrendered in 1912, 47 years later. But then we had a manifest destiny - today we have no manifest anything, because we don't view ourselves as the UNITED States anymore, but rather, to more and more of us, we are the Divided States. Diversity will destroy us, it will never be the salvation of anything. Diversity means division, not unity.
Be an American, or don't come. That's why I refuse to use the phrase "African American", "German American" or anything like it. There is only one "American", and if you have to hang onto some false label that links you to a past that most people haven't ever been a part of, they need to think again.
Gotta get of this soapbox before my blood pressure gets any higher.
Jerry, when I immigrated I had to fill out a million forms,it would be so easy to add to those forms, stuff about our culture, and some rules that come with green card status,like learning english in 5 years, no wearing of berkas,no building of mosques, When in rome,etc.
Cough him up or else " was ignored,they had no fear of Bush.
I agree on the African American and so on ,it's rediculious,I mean we have the black people dressing in African garb in parades and so forth,
I bet they never did that during the war. I told you I don't like Pelosi at all,because she lied, and at beginning of Obamas presidency if I recall correctly you said ,"regardless of party you would support your president" didn't you ? As for your soap box please try not to do yourself an injury, a good workout on a soap box should relieve the pressure.
One more thing ,this bloody war is costing us a fortune, well over 250 million a day, that money could and should be used for health care.
Another reason I vote democratic ,we will never have health care plan
while the republicans are in power ,they do not care about the people.
