Border still wide open after multiple attacks on US soil, and we’re still importing the third world via various legal immigration programs.

We aren’t taking this seriously. All except one GOP presidential candidate couldn’t care less.

People get the kind of government they deserve.

The battle can be won with balloons, sympathy cards and candlelight vigils. The TV told me so.

The West does...

But Western leaders don’t.

Time to select new leaders.

We’re in pretty sad shape as a country but I say yes the will is there. The means, that’s a whole different story.

"Does the West have the Will to Fight ISIS?"

The people do but the corrupt leaders who are paid by the islamics in many ways can see no personal enrichment in it.

It took a couple of these to stop the fanatical Nazi allied Japanese.

Do we have to wait until our cities are in ruin before we get serious in putting a stop to these animal?

Most people today have no experience with fighting Nazis. We are naive and think that this is going to go away, or at least not bother us directly.

Islam is Nazism with a twist of religion thrown in so that they can scream discrimination. The “tolerance” we think is so wonderful will be the death of us.

You’re right. Islamonazis is a very valid way to describe these people.

“Tolerance” is word that makes my skin crawl.

They were Nazi-aligned both before and after WWII. Nasser’s philosophy is always described as both nationalist and socialist. Arab nationalism (aka pan-Arabism, cf. pan-Germanism) plus Islamic socialism can only equal one thing.

The left doesn’t have the will to fight against anything except decent Americans who cling to God and to guns. Real Americans still have the courage we have always had. With a conservative president, we will be able to fight against evil once more.

Fixed it.

We’re going to need to deal with ISIS but it won’t make much difference to the future course of events if we don’t make it crystal clear to the Islamic states as a whole that they must reform their practices and encourage stable governments to develop in all parts of their region, and if they fail, they can expect to be totally quarantined and left out of all global society in every way possible. I would give them five years and set out a very harsh timetable of penalties for non-success. They have allowed these situations to develop, mainly through their ongoing counter-productive hysterical policies about Israel, and if they don’t change, there will always be Al Qaeda, ISIS and other types of sociopathic madness as a result.

Five years may sound like a long time, but it would probably take that long to see real change in the Middle East. It will never come if we take their adolescent world view seriously. What they need is adult supervision. The colonial era obviously ended a century too soon.

We have to take the battle to the jihadis ourselves, in our own street, in our own malls, in our own places of work. Look at history. They most be driven out of our nation. That is the only solution that works.

If they are used- they will be used against citizens also- as this coming battle will not have clearly defined home nations.

The invaders are being imported to the battle fields- inn US check out where these “refugees” are being settled. Makes one wonder

Tolerance

My tolerance level stops when you rights supercede mine.

You know, I see the pictures of the Syrian refugees, the women with their children. I feel badly for them, I really do and it certainly tugs at the heartstrings. However, the problem with that is America can’t see the pictures in the future of American women and children growing up without their Father, or brother or sister because one of those poor Syrian refugees turns into a monster. It’s just a matter of mathematics. A small percentage of them will turn into Jihadis and if one of them turns into a jihadi that’s one too many and I want no part of them.

Give up your religion and then we’ll think about letting you come into our country....
