I AM a fundamentalist. I believe in the fundamental separation of Church and State. I believe in our fundamentally inherent civil liberties. There are a lot of other things which I believe in that are fundamental bedrock principles of liberty.
When I took the Oath to protect and defend the Constitution, I took it seriously. And people who are talking about overthrowing the US government, or who are adhering to our enemies, be they foreign or domestic, are my enemies. I've never had to die for those beliefs, but I have run the risk of being killed for them.
