Kennedy 0 #1 March 10, 2005 QuoteIn the Fight Against Terrorism, Some Rights Must Be Repealed A Muslim thinks we need to get rid of the right to keep and bear arms in order to fight the war on terror. This same Muslim, who decries stereotyping his co-religionists, has no problem libeling those of us who rightfully embrace the original intent of the Founders: “Today," he states authoritatively, "only a handful of citizens outside of neo-nazi and white supremacist groups view gun ownership as a means of keeping the government in check.” In other words, he demands tolerance for people who agree with him, and armed suppression of those who don't. And just to ensure his point is made, he demonizes us and emphasizes what he says is our minority status. What a unique and new philosophy! I'm sure no one's ever tried that before. “Junaid M. Afeef," his tag line states, "is a Research Associate at the Institute for Social Policy & Understanding.” Great way to promote “understanding,” Mr. Afeef. Do you understand “Molon Labe”? You can help promote Mr. Afeef's understanding of American social policy by contacting him at junaid.afeef@gmail.com. Just be careful--he seems like the type to start something and then report you if he gets the response he deserves. What a fucking fruitloop. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"In the Fight Against Terrorism, Some Rights Must Be Repealed " Sadly inevitable, its just a matter of which rights we let them get away with....now thats probably a better discussion.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

sfzombie13 324 #4 March 10, 2005 ben franklin said something to the effect that anyone willing to give up freedom for security deserves neither freedom nor secrity. he was a man wiser than a lot that i know today, imagine if we had that caliber of men leading the us today. of course, they were all rebels, and many of them would be laughed at today. we need more people with their spirit around today, willing to sacrifice anything for ideals._________________________________________ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #5 March 10, 2005 QuoteGreat way to promote “understanding,” Mr. Afeef. Do you understand "Molon Labe”? When Leonidas was preparing to make his stand, a Persian envoy arrived. The envoy explained to Leonidas the futility of trying to resist the advance of the huge Persian army and demanded that the Spartans lay down their arms. Leonidas told Xerxes "MOLON LABE", or "Come And Get Them." Which reminds me of the story of Texas: In the autumn of 1835, Santa Anna sent 300 soldiers to the town of Gonzales with the intent of disarming the Texian citizens, specifically confiscating the municipal cannon. The Texian's answer was to haul the cannon into open view with the now-famous flag: "Come and Get It." The Mexican army withdrew to decide its next move and the Texians, at 11 p.m. October 1, gathered to prepare for battle. One of the elected officers, Rev. W.P. smith, sat on his favorite mule and spoke to the Texian army: "Fellow Soldiers: To cap the climax of a long catalogue of injuries and private grievances attempting to be heaped upon us, the government of Mexico, in the person of Santa Anna, has sent an army to commence the disarming system. Give up the cannon, and we may surrender our small arms also, and at once be the vassals of the most imbecile and unstable government upon earth. But will Texas give up the cannon? Will she surrender her small arms? Every response is No, Never! Never will she submit to a degradation of that character! Fellow soldiers, the cause for which we are contending is just, honorable, and glorious - our liberty! The same blood that animated the hearts of our ancestors of '76 still flows warm in our veins."
