We Are At War

I have an e-mail pal who is a journalist currently assigned to Paris. He got there to cover the terrorist attacks and it has become his beat. As part of a rather long e-mail he sent me the following which I have edited for brevity. It is a description of entering the American Embassy.: First, there are three checkpoints before entering the courtyard. Next come concrete caissons which are spaced five feet apart which is the first line of defense. Next are the French police, three pairs standing abreast of their squad cars which are parked directly before the Embassy gates. They all carry sub-machine guns.Next there is a watch house which is posted with a Marine security detachment. The streets are cordoned off for four blocks in every direction and there are snipers stationed on nearby rooftops. Now, who would like to tell me that we're not at war?

    Big Thumbs Up Kevin!!! Your private property starts inside the sidewalk (depending on your zoning laws). If some self styled socialist decides he is a one man army empowered to take your stuff in order that everybody be equal.

    I heard a lib pronounce Di-VER-sir-TEEE in a rather emotional almost charismatic religious fashion.
    That was right after I stated that intakes of Muslims is dangerous.

    The 64k question to be sure. Political correctness is used to defeat reason. Liberals use emotion to make decisions, which is subject to manipulation by other people. Doesn't matter what the facts are, and rational discussion seems to be useless with them

    Larry my man!
    I can only go to the range with my walker. It has a built-in seat . You should see the looks I get at the range. If someone gives me the stink eye, I smile and say, "Don't tread on me." You illustrate one of the great faults of the internet, which is the friends we make we may never meet. I'm not supposed to drink alcohol, but I can nurse a beer all afternoon at the right kind of bar. Good to know a fellow geezer. I know of a few scattered around the Gulch, perhaps more than you'd imagine.

    One of many problems is the media. They portray little suffering children, beheadings, etc. Of course, congress and the executive branch are compliant in this. So off we go, Mighty Mouse to save the day. Oh, we may twaddle around a bit, and negotiate this and that, but the reality is that we are going to spend lives and treasure for the benefit of what will become, with certain exceptions, ingrates.

    Dang Herb, I wish we didn't live so far apart. I'd bet we'd have a ball at the range, local gun shops and just generally carousing around together. Of course I'd have to be home by 8pm to get all my meds taken, and we'd need that noon time nap, but a hour or two gets me through the rest of the day. :)

    When I find out someone is a Hillary supporter, I know they are very consistently not my friend and shouldn't be trusted. A person who adopts Islam will at some point put allah above me and will take my freedom and maybe my life.

    I do believe we are at war as well and what we have seen is only the beginning. For some reason, I get the sneaking suspicion that were are slowly losing control of the situation. Many people don't realize how easy it is to cause a lot of damage, misery, and potential deaths in a northern country such as Canada. Ex: If we lose power and natural gas because a few key stations get decommissioned by rifle or explosives. Then the repair guys get shot at. No one wants to move. Look at the Washington sniper. Imagine this when the temperature is forecast to be -30 for a week or two. Think of the misery and frozen pipes. Are you prepared?

    That's because if they disavow parts of Islam, THEY are non believers and should be killed

    "I would never never go looking for a fight, I'm a vet who has seen to much for such foolishness, but I am a vet who KNOW'S what might be required to win such an engagement."
    I want people like this living in my neighborhood-- not just armed, but experienced, not looking for a fight, but half-jokingly too old to put up with any violence from criminals.

    Too tired to run, too much arthritis pain to fight, and the police will be too slow. I guess I'll just have to kill ya.

    It is idiotic. If PC continues to be taken seriously, it will kill more people than ISIS.

    I have yet to hear "moderate" Muslims disavow sharia law. And, sharia is what you're talking about. It is a set of rules which is opposite almost everything we in the western world believe in.

    If someone professes to obey Islam, they ARE my enemy at this point. I AM a non believer, and it says right in their book that its OK to kill me. What else needs to be said?

    Many countries dont even allow visitors to come in if they have a history of violence (even just dui) or lawlessness.

    But we are supposed to allow Muslims in here who do NOT disavow those parts of Islam that profess to kill all infidels?? Thats just dumb, in my opinion.

    Islam is at war with the unbelievers in Islam. Its a very violent and intolerant set of beliefs. Accept them OR you die. Its pretty clear in their "bible".

    They need to stay where they are. I dont want muslims who believe, or even accept those tenets living around me. Got nothing to do with racism. Its purely a desire to feel safe. Muslims who want to be around me need to disavow the intolelerant and violent parts of Islam, PERIOD.
