Quote: Armed drones?  That's just plain cowardice.  If you're going to get violent then you should have the cojones to put your cojones behind the gun.  When you take the horror out of war, you take away an incentive for peace. You can't make peace with people who see you as Infidels and little more than lambs to be slaughtered. Drones, Border agents, Military snipers, whatever it takes to secure the borders is okay by me. As for cowardice? That's a government that refuses to do what needs too be done and when American bodies pile-up, will look to lay the blame on someone other than themselves for their lack of cajones. So I'll end my rant, the way I started it. When the next 9/11 happens, we'll take a poll and see how/if opinions have changed? Sometimes people need too be bitch slapped more than once to get the message :( I'll say no more, you either get it or you don't.

In an ideal world, Minnesota could leave the sinking ship behind and join Canada.  We have more in common with our neighbors to the north (politically, and ethnically) than with much of the rest of the USA.
