I'm virtually POSITIVE that we could stop fundamentalist muslims from attacking the US if we only would change our Constitution to whatever fucked up vision of what a "proper Islamic State" should be they have. If we put all American women in Burquas, execute all homosexuals, kill all Jews, exterminate all but fundamentalist Islam as a religion, and bow to Mecca five times daily while obeying Sharia law, I'm sure we could have peace with them. Somehow, however, I doubt that they would settle for less than that, and I sure as hell would not allow that to happen.
Appeasement only emboldens your attackers.

I don't know where you can even begin to see me saying we need to compromise with the terrorists. I am saying GOP and Dems need to work on compromises with each other.
Nowhere am I saying we need to appease the terrorists. I don't think we could even if we tried. And trying would sell our country short.
However, it is necessary to stop the partisan bullshit and to come together and work as a nation to better ourselves and stand united. That is what I am arguing for.
It is extremely important for us as a nation to become united. This is a war, no matter how you slice it and the divisive partisanship and hatreds of each other is unhealthy in the protection of our security and the overall advancement of our nation.
