I don't know how my comments appear to anyone else, but to me, they appear to place me right where I usually find myself; in the center.
Ref: Muslims. Very far to the right on this one.
This list is more than enough to convince me that the only way to defeat radicals to is to become radical in our defense. We are at war with Radical Islam. Maybe we never wanted to make it a religion based war, but they they did back when the words Jihad and infidels were first uttered. Our enemy does not stand out by a particular uniform, but hides behind the face of the people he supposedly represents. None can nor should be trusted until this war is over. I have not, since prior to 9/11, and more so since, met one person of Arab dissent without that little nag in the back of my mind wondering......
And I don't care what those pacifists say. I didn't create the situation. They did and the innocent, good intentioned Muslims that sat on their hands, kept their mouths shut and turned a blind eye are just as guilty.
Illegals who are here to commit crimes (other than being illegal) - pretty far to the right on this, also. I have no quarter for anyone that primarily lives their life with criminal intent to cheat, kill or steal.
But when it comes to people who come here with good intentions to create a better life, I have to wonder, what exactly IS the law? do they come here, apply for a visa then hope they can become citizens before the visa runs out? What IS the time limit on a visa? Why does it even run out? They're obviously on the books, and hopefully working the process, but once you plant roots and then some bureaucrat says it's time to go, I can almost sympathize with breaking the law to stay - and at this point, following the lawful path to citizenship is broken
