“We’re at war and these are acts of war that these terrorists are committing and we need to treat them differently,” she said. “I don’t think terrorists are worthy of rights that people like my son fight and are willing to die for.”
Spoken like a true patriot. When will we realize that fighting a “war on terrorism” is counterproductive? Terrorists aren’t state actors with intelligence centers that we can launch missiles at, they’re trumped up gang members who obtain power through bribery, drug sales, and other illicit activities. They feed off of the fearful and uneducated who are vulnerable. We should be rounding these guys up with handcuffs, disrupting their financing, and drying up the base of uneducated riff-raff they fill their ranks with.
And denying folks the rights we enjoy because we don’t like them and they don’t like us isn’t exactly what our country embodies. But then again, I don’t expect anything else from a group of profiteering “activists” who want to overthrow our own government and instill their own brand of radicalism.
