Many on the right claim to be for a strong defense. But a defense against what? After nine years of a strong defense against guys in sandals with rocket launchers, we haven't moved much closer to peace. Many say that fighting these guys in sandals is going to protect our freedoms.
Are these guys in sandals going to take away our freedom of speech? Or is it somebody hidden in plain sight who is controlling the debate.
Are these guys in sandals going to take away our freedom of the press? Or is it somebody hidden in plain sight who is controlling a large part of the so-called mainstream media?
Are these guys in sandals going to take away our freedom of assembly? Or is it somebody hidden in plain sight who gets police to keep those who dissent away from the meetings of his fellow travelers (or is it dupes)?
Are these guys in sandals going to take away our freedom of religion? Or is it somebody hidden in plain sight who gets people riled up about people who have the same religion as the guys in sandals claim to have?
Do these guys in sandals have any serious chance of invading our country and taking it over and denying us our freedom? Yeah, a few of them can cause some serious damage in a few places, but is that damage that much greater in sum than the damage we have caused in their countries in the name of our freedom?
We have already been invaded by a foreign power hiding in plain site who with a few fellow travelers is playing many of our citizens as puppets to do his will.
Who is this foreign power? Rupert Murdoch, a native of Australia, who controls News Corporation, which controls Fox News, which controls Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, who frame the debate.
