This doesn't take anything away from ...Francis,<br />This doesn't take anything away from your argument, BUT I just heard Aaron Klein's radio show and he claims that it was actually NOT a consulate in Benghazi that was attacked. Klein says the Obama spokespersons have been calling it a "mission". It was allegedly a place where Ambassador Stevens was facilitating transactions to help the Syrian rebels (who, in my opinion, aren't any better than the current government there). Obama, obviously, didn't want that fact broadcasted. Anyway, that's what Klein claims.Linda Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-82063766012399159782012-10-20T15:58:16.992-04:002012-10-20T15:58:16.992-04:00It would depend on whether London's authoritie...It would depend on whether London's authorities were to:<br />-- Mobilize and move against you while you're in the act;<br />-- Pursue you afterward with sincere vigor;<br />-- Claim they're powerless;<br />-- Tell the U.S. "you brought it on yourself."<br /><br />We have every reason to believe that Benghazi is lawless -- out of all control and utterly hostile to law or justice. London doesn't exhibit the same symptoms...today.Francis W.

(better known as the Giggling Army of Yorkshiremen), I've been planning for years to get back at the rest of the English for all the jokes they make about us and our women.<br /><br />So, my secret army has been practicing and planning an all out lightening assault on the American Consultate in London. I guarantee that by the time we are done, the compound will be smoking rubble. Afterwards, we will don our camoflage (white wife beater t-shirts of of course) and disappear from the city.<br /><br />Does the cost of one decent military operation by outsiders get me a leveled London a week later?pdwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943525787137905313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-61615104623056859562012-10-20T09:23:31.168-04:002012-10-20T09:23:31.168-04:00-- [Passports] use our government's authority ...-- [Passports] use our government's authority to guarantee that this person is not going to cause trouble. --<br /><br />A nice observation, and one that deserves wider acknowledgement and reflection. The analogy to admitting someone else into one's home is also worth some thought.Francis W.

- No American may ...One of two things must happen:<br /><br />- No American may leave this country without signing away all his/her rights to have the government act to protect him/her against either individuals or other governments. In other words, "you're on your own, cowboy!"<br /><br />At the same time, the government must build the equivalent of a nuclear Wall of China around the US. No entrance in, no exit out.<br /><br />- Your suggestion - swift response to provocation, unless that government having sovreignty acts first, and lethally, or with extradition to the US for punishment. No jailing in that other country - they could be released later. WE need to have control of their imprisonment.<br /><br />At the same time, limit the exit visas - no more letting Leftists roam the world, creating havoc for those other governments. If a person applies to visit another country, they may visit that other country. NOT change and attend terrorist school, or protest in another country, or go to confer with other Leftists in yet another country. One destination, no changes. If someone violates that, they lose their passport privileges.<br /><br />And, passports ARE a privilege. They use our government's authority to guarantee that this person is not going to cause trouble. If they get into trouble that's not their fault, we'll come in and get them out, if we can. Civilized countries have this unspoken understanding.<br /><br />People who don't like this can leave. But, they cannot return. They will be voluntarily giving up their citizenship rights, forever. Those leaving to fight against our country forfeit their citizenship. This has precedent - in the Revolutionary War, there were those who fought on the "Loyalist" side. They were "encouraged" to leave, if they still had the same beliefs after the war ended. By their actions, they had declared themselves to be Englishmen, not Americans.LindaFhttp://rau.3littlefoxes.comnoreply@blogger.com
