What if this post
suggested to any Iraqi or organization sympathetic to the Iraqi cause, that I am behind their effort to liberate themselves from the colonial resource grab?

And what if I also suggested that freedom fighters from around the Arab nations support and send fighters to this just cause?

I might also suggest that the U.S. military is stretched thin and that they could be victorious through a will of endurance.

Is someone going to come knocking at my door, guys with dark suits and reflective sunglasses?

2. I doubt they'd knock...
Under the Patriot Act they can enter your home and search it without you being there and don't have to tell you about it. Why would they be polite and knock if your suspected of being seditous?

3. I mean "knock"
in the figurative sense. Perhaps they'd dissapear me.

5. Maybe we should all put up posts like this
We are actually funding the jihad! What would happen then We'd all get to met in Gitmo? Maybe with a boot in our faces? America, land of the free!

6. Careful, careful
I read a post several days ago where a member had posted a letter from a woman, found on a Christian WEB site blog page, that she had written to Secretary of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge. The letter was telling him all about DU and that she felt we were a subversive group that threatened the safety of our troops and our country. So all kidding aside, that may not bother you, but I don't want anyone knocking on my door. (Of course I realize "they" have people reading every post, every day anyway, but still . . . . )

8. Actually I know you are right
and honestly I wouldn't mind anyone knocking on my door as long as it was for doing what we do here - which I think is, we share information and try to see if there is anything we can do to help save our democracy. I would gladly lay down my life for that. I am sorry if you mistook my meaning - I think it was the "funding the jihad" comment that bothered me a little and that was more where I was coming from.
