We know who our enemies are
They call themselves Americans, but they don't care about the Constitution. They don't believe in a right to privacy, or the right for Americans to make their own decisions about their own health. They believe that a certain ideology has the right to do this on our behalf.

They believe that America has a right and a duty to spend American lives to further the goals of a arrogant political philosophy, to kill tens of thousands of innocents to gain nothing of consequence.

They believe that the rest of the world should bow down to American power, and that might makes right. That we can force our will upon others just because we have the power to do so.

They call for our deaths because we dare to question their motivations and general philosophy. Because we dare, they call us traitors. Not because we stand in opposition to America, but because we stand FOR an America that they don't understand. An America where these things are NOT done in the name of shameless greed and hunger for power. An America that believes that American troops should not be used to bring the death of innocent children, no matter the color of their skin or the philosophy of their leadership.

The last time I checked few, if any, of us have called for the death of any conservative, even as evil as they seem to us. Nor have we tried to silence them, though do we reserve the right to mock them mercilessly.

They hate us. They ADMIT they hate us. Many are quite clear that they'd happily see us dead.

Well, they piss us off too.

Our philosophies are become increasingly irreconcilible. They believe in murder, death, and the naked use of raw power as a means to an end. What end, we're still not sure.

Oh, yeah, we know who our enemies are. We don't understand them, but we can recognize them. They're our mirror image. They claim the same love of country WE feel, but betray every ideal for which this country has stood.

Freedom, to them, is the freedom for the wealthy and powerful to ravage us in their quest to gain more. Freedom, to them, is the freedom for the elite to grow ever more powerful, feeding on our sacrifices like bloated vampires.

The America they love is an America we cannot understand, and do not recognize. And do not want.

When they say "America," we're not sure WHAT they're talking about. It's not the America WE call home.

1. This whole situation can only end badly.
With rising tensions I just do not see any other way. I do not believe, or advocate, violence or killing at all. The other side are so blood thirsty they will make the first strike and we will be left to defend ourselves.
