I definitely would not sell this battle short either - it was CRITICAL and it was CLOSE.

I hear Serbs badmouthed here ocassionally on FR, but not by me.

They are certainly the “keepers of the gate” between East & West. They know better than any Western leaning people what a Muslim really is. If that makes them a little “crazy” we should consider why.

We need not focus on old battles, we have a hot one on our hands now. We have a Commie Muzzie Traitor who sleeps at 1600 Penn. Ave. who intends to destroy the U.S. Our job is to deny him that success.

Remember, November is Coming.
