I support laws that discourage those who don't want to adopt to the patterns of
a free society...

[Arlo]
Its not much of a "free society" if the only "freedom" people have is "to
conform". 

[Platt]
... and whose radical element wants to bomb us into oblivion.

[Arlo]
Yep, there's that fear. 

[Platt]
If you want to sleepwalk through the threat from Islamofascism, fine with me.

[Arlo]
If Islam is the problem, why stop at a ban on veils? Isn't that like trying to
defeat Christianity by banning WWJD bracelets?

[Platt]
Fortunately, we have a few leaders in America, England and the Netherlands who
are determined not to repeat the pacifist mistakes of the 30's. (Don't count on
the French)

[Arlo]
Yes, we have leaders who rely on propaganda and manipulation of fear, how
wonderful.
