Re: Stop living in a fantasy world... said by Go Tarheels:Even the most liberal president in modern history is protecting them for a reason. His #1 job is to protect the USA. He and his most liberal advisors have entered office and see the horrors that have been planned against this country and this program helps keep us safe. I don't think you folks understand the dangers we face. I don't think Obama did until he started getting the daily briefings. You can go on quoting Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, but quotes don't save lives. Bush is gone. Its time to realize there really is a threat out there to our society and Obama is now in charge of protecting us. I know before it was fun to make fun of Bush's grammar and believed he trumped up all of the threats. Here's something to chew on... What if he wasn't... What would you do? I think if they posted the information that is contained in the daily briefings in every major newspaper on the front page for 2 days, a good 3/4 of this county would shit their collective pants.
As Colonel Jessup once said:
"Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you dont talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!"

Thats not true. The people who are arguing against proactively protecting this country are of the belief that sticking their heads in the sand will take care of the problem.
