Be afraid.

We should never give up our rights out of fear. If we do, then the terrorists have already won.

To be honest, I would not be surprised if our own CIA was supporting ISIS? The Iraqi government has been getting closer and closer to Iran since we removed most of our troops. A good portion of ISIS is probably made up of former loyalists to Saddam Hussein?

They want their country back. It is a civil war over there. If they tried that crap in this country, they would be hunted down and killed immediately. They are killing over there - they are not killing over here.

We act like tools for the propagandists that want continuous war and to continue spending a trillion dollars a year on the defense industry. It is not about protecting our country. It is about fooling the American people into continuing their gravy train from the American taxpayers.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

We have to fight "Terrorism" is code for keep feeding us money and blood indefinitely.

There is not one person you can focus on when fighting terrorism, so nice choice on words. Terrorism could be anything, political terrorism, economic terrorism, that brown guy over there, it can be fucking anything.

But what it does mean is forever war.
