Soldiers fit the definition

Thank God for the insurgents and terrorists who are now our nation's heroes that gave us our nation. These are the people who signed our Declaration of Independence and eventually gave us our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Thus we should think of insurgents and terrorists as either good or bad, depending on which side we are looking at them.

Our Constitution has been working well for 200 years. Now, unfortunately, if we push too hard to get our given rights, we are now declared un-American in accordance with the Patriot Act, which Congress enacted in a state of hysteria, promoted by the administration after the 911 terrorist attack.
