If I had just one penny.........................
Edited on Sat Jul-07-07 07:06 AM by Knightly_Knews
If I had just one penny for every time I have heard the word "terrorist" since 9/11, I would have more money than Bill Gates. Seriously, I mean how many times in one day do I have to be told there are terrorists trying to kill me? I don't care. I am not scared, let them come. Why do we even use the word "Terrorist"? Who is worthy to wear this title?

Define a terrorist - <n> a radical who employs terror as a 1.political weapon; 2.usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; 3.often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities.

1. Our invasion of Iraq is a Political Weapon!
2. We do organize with other nations.
3. God be with the USA.

A "Terrorist" fights for a cause, a belief, an ideology. We invaded Iraq why? To try and spread our form of Democracy and Religion
(ie. Ideology). That's why. And to steal their Oil.

So ask yourselves, how many times a day is the USA being labeled as a terrorist state in other Countries? Do those other countries try to spread fear amongst their citizens as this Country does daily? Must our children endure daily indoctrination in our schools, churches, and other organizations? And not only our children, but our whole nation.

How would we as Americans feel if we boarded a plane, said a prayer to GOD, and were tossed off the plane because others fear our Religion? How would you feel if nobody wanted to fly with you on board simply because you are American? Now let's define an American.

American - <n> Any person, of any race, that was either born in the United States or given citizenship through naturalization.

With that said, how would anyone know which Americans could be trusted and which ones could not? We are a community of ALL religions. And in each Religion there are "TERRORISTS".

Now the next time you hear the word "terrorist" who are they speaking of? You? Your Neighbor? Your Priest or Reverend? Our President and his Accomplices? I say this because ANYONE who opposes a form of Government, Religion or Belief and fights for their own government, religion or belief can be viewed as a "terrorist".

And frankly I am sick of it being used as a scare tactic to try to make us give up our Privacy, and Rights as citizens.

It's a sad time in this World, and I see no peaceful ending to it. I firmly believe that all the Nuclear Weaponry that was developed over the years and is still being developed to this day, will soon be used against us, by our own government.

I hope I am wrong.

Peace out,
Knightly!
