I will thank you to not attempt to ascribe motives to me, nor try to 
divine my loves and hates. I have no "love" for the current 
adminitration. I have many staunch disagreements with current policy 
across a broad spectrum.

However, I do agree with them on one overriding point; that the threat 
posed by Islamist extremists is one which threatens the very existence 
of the United States and Western culture as a whole, and I find that 
ensuring the overall survival of Western civilization, which I believe 
to be the most conducive to achieving a PostHuman future, is paramount.
