So you believe that the Constitution should be a matter of convenience, rather than a matter of principle and conscience. Ok.......

I actually agre with super chicken to a degree. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard than others hold themselves.
not when they are trying to wage war with us i dont.
So, by extension, you advocate kidnappings and televised beheadings of the so-called perpetrators?
I will agree with your position on one condition, and one condition ONLY:
that the USA immediately ceases to represent itself to the world as the beacon of democracy and justice for all. Anything less is simply Nationalized Hypocrisy in the extreme. I truly want to believe that we, as a nation, are better than that. Were we to adopt your stance, I think we damage ourselves more than we impact our opponents; and negate many of the ideals that have given us reason to enjoy the national pride that has helped shape this country over the last 200+ years.
not with televised beheadings(or any beheadings), dont let what i said get out of hand. i just dont think they deserve the same rights as an American, especially when they are at war with us. even the illegals that come here to work and better themselves deserve more than them.So, by extension, you advocate kidnappings and televised beheadings of the so-called perpetrators?

but hey, if you want to behead them, go for it.
No, beheading is barbaric, period. But I do feel that applying our standards and ideals to everyone, regardless, shows that we are willing to walk the walk, rather than just talk the talk. Selective application of our national principles diminishes us as a nation. We SHOULD hold ourselves to a higher standard.
i dont have a problem with holding ourselves to higher standard with people that deserve it, these people dont.
