"To be labeled a terrorist is really very hard to hear and to accept, when your whole life has been one of loving nonviolence."

A Roman Catholic nun, one of 2 nuns whose non-violent protest against nuclear weapons landed them with prison sentences and got them listed as terrorists.

Some of you terrorist sympathizers might think that these terrorist Catholic nuns that used their own blood to paint crucifixes on nukes shouldn't be labeled terrorists. Or maybe you think that 53 other peace activists labeled as terrorists by the Maryland State Police should not have been listed as terrorists. But when you go thinking like that then you don't deserve your freedom.

I am going to tell it to you straight, peace is a terrorist weapon.

Just think what would happen if people in this country started to think in terms of peace. Well I shudder to even think about it. But I am going to think about the dangers of peace to help you understand that peace is terror.

When I start thinking about peace all over the world I get really upset. Peace isn't what made this country great and it won't make the world great either. We need wars so that freedom rings and the oil flows. If we had more wars, we could "drill baby drill" all over the world and that would really bring down the price that I pay at the pump. I am tired of having to pay so much for gas because we didn't get enough oil out of Iraq. If we would just go in and bomb Iran then I know that I would really save at the pump.

If we had listened to the peace protesters before the Iraq war just where would be now?

So there is your answer. Peace would have destroyed our economy and played right into the hands of the terrorists that hate our freedoms.

Peace would also ruin the morals of this country. If we started practicing peace we would have a bunch of nuts going around and talking like John Lennon. They would have long hair and who knows what the hell they would be smoking. Pretty soon, there would be pornography on the computers, on TV, and in the movies because people would start saying things like, "make love and not war." Hell, even our pastors might start preaching peace from the pulpit and that would make me leave my church. They would start preaching things like "love your enemies," "turn the other cheek," and "treat people like you want to be treated." Crazy sayings like that. Then the next thing you know the churches would stop condemning homosexuals and we would become more tolerant of differences. Talk about terror in America!

Peace would change our society for the worst. Instead of having all of our money going to support war we would have a lot more money to do things like educate people. I hate educated people because they all think they are better than me. I certainly don't want any educated young people acting like they know more than me. If there was more money available, then people would start wanting more hand outs. You would have a bunch of people able to get fed and have adequate housing. Soon the poor would no longer be poor and they would be buying a lot more stuff. That would really mess up the economy. The way we have it now, I don't have to worry about my money going to the poor. It is going to help the economy by helping the big banker that got ripped off by lending money to the undeserving so they could buy these balloon mortgages.

Oh, and if there was peace then there would be more money for health care too. That is the biggest crap. People need to be free to suffer and die. What do we want to do, create a nation of softies? If everyone had adequate health care, America would be a nation of whiners and sissies that go to see the doctor when they don't feel good. But now many have to tough it out and worry about it like they should. Before you know it, people would be getting mental health services. They would start to feel better and wouldn't need so many pills for their stress and depression. That would destroy the pharmaceutical industry that helped to make this country what it is today.

So if we actually have peace then that will mean the end of our way of life and the terrorists would win.

Do you want the terrorists to win?

Some terrorist sympathizers might think that peace would mean a better country and a better world. But you have to fight and die for freedom and that means you always have to have wars for your freedom. You can't have peace if you aren't free. So war is peace and peace is terror.

So don't allow the terrorists to use the peace weapon against us. Remember this, sometimes you got to destroy a country to save it.
