Translation: Nearly half of us are capable of thinking for ourselves.

Capable of critical thinking. We don't wait for the daily talking point to decide for us what our minds are. That is what makes us dangerous. We are not the sheeple that easily swallow the latest propaganda to keep us in line. We do not revere our leaders as somehow mystical and god like.
Too bad we aren't the majority.

We can't as of yet use the military for defense against the citizenry, so they are training,

and equipping the police for that job.
The above was just a training exercise. Send the mark a package. When the mark takes the package inside, the law enforcement unit that sent the package for the training exercise, then have probable cause to suspect drug dealing. And then the training for both the law enforcement and the victims, begins in earnest. If the victims survive, they know better than to do anything to attract the attention of the police. You know, like attending public protests about certain government policies, where the police will be.
Yeah, we are so free.

Yes they do.

They can and do make their own reality as they go along. Facts and truth are only as good as they can be twisted and spun. Everything is delusion, unless it can be used to advantaged, then any fabrication is real.

By 'radical terrorists', you are talking about the United States, correct?

Never a peaceful solution, when a military one will do.
Where humanitarian aid is supplying both sides in a conflict? Where Al qaeda is on our side, or we're on their's or something? Where our government spy's on its own people and builds data bases on private individuals, like we are just another subversive enemy.
That radical terrorist?

You noticed that, huh?

That is because the Democratic party is far to the Right of where the Republican party was 40 years ago.
And many here would be Republicans now, except for the Right wing of the Democratic party or the Left wing of the Republican Party (same thing), being so far off kilter, to the Right, from the real reference point. You know, the DLC, New Democrats, and assorted and other wise, DINO's, claiming to be main stream Democrats.
Also, there are many here, who treat politics as a big league sports game, who only recognize good and bad ideas by the (D) or (R) by the players names and will defend bad ideas to the death, because of the (D) on their pedestaled icons.

Ya think?

If we do, they then have to replace all that expensive go boom thingies, they lob into Syria. Guess who pays?
And that kiddies, is why we can't have nice things like our Social Security COLA, or Universal Health Care.
