I support where you are coming from with that message Metacomet, but we're not in full agreement as to the true crime.

"When the armies of those who have been maligned and slaughtered, in order to provide political cover for these idiots, move on fortress America, and they will, and our kids and their kids lack the economic wherewithal to defend themselves, having inherited a mere shell of the vibrant economy that was our birthright, until now."

I agree that it is a horrendous crime to visit onto the unborn, the repercussions of such sickening actions, and I believe the true crime is buried in your above paragraph.

IMO, the true crime is the past and present slaughter of those many innocents who have lacked the wherewithal to defend themselves..... for whatever political reasons that were the cause. The crime is past and current, not future. Indefensible in my opinion.

I fully support the many, and growing, number of Americans who are willing to rebel against this administration, but I admit to anger when I hear the reasons given as the loss of troops or the billions in cost to the economy. Yes, it is terribly sad that 2300 plus young men have been wiped out in this madness, but I keep thinking of the 100,000 plus who have suffered the full result of these actions. Countless women and children have been horribly slaughtered under the name of democracy.

Call me an idiot if you will, but I'm betting the majority of the world would agree with me.

BTW, I have no beef with you, I usually agree with what you say.
