7. . . . to protect freedom from evildoers, because freedom isn't free.
You have to sacrafice your freedom of speech for it.

5. NO. No criticism of the president. (At least that's what I'm telling McCain supporters)

9. I didn't answer...
...because it depends HOW the war is started.

If someone tries to bomb Chicago, then I say go after the mf's and support Obama 100%.

If President Obama attacks Iran unilaterally, then of course I'd question him, but I admit I'd trust HIS judgment far more than a republican.

12. Allowed? It's our right -- one that we have if we exercise it.
Hopefully, there will be little reason to exercise it.

14. You do not have a right to undermine national security, no.
Things would be a lot easier if Obama was the dictator.

16. No. They should be converted to Islam, then shot and
then all their property should be redistributed. Seems fair doesn't it? ;->
