Swallow this...

Allow me to enlighten you. Prior to 9/11, Americans could not conceive of so barbaric and inhuman act as the wholesale, random, inhuman murder that these Mu'slams commited.

As a consequence of this naive thinking, security was cursory and incomplete. There was no Homeland security, or Transportation Security Administration. Simply a monitoring for the obvious. Now most realize the depth of depravity this cult of mythology can engender. I have had dinner atop the World Trade Center, I have worked in the Pentagon, and I have a small farm only a few miles from Somerset County PA.

9/11 forever made I'slam and the Muslams my enemy and the enemy of my country. As a former US Marine, my oath to preserve ,protect and defend this nation has no expiration date. I have not hate for the Muslam, nor will I do them personal harm, but they and their ideology are incompatible with the Constitution of the United Staes and no amount of moderate rhetoric, intellectual sophistry, or willful ignorance can change that.
