Perhaps this is and will be our way of life for the forseeable future? Quite candidly, whether EOM is real or not doesn't mean we are not and will not be under constant threat for the near future. The severity or frequency of those threats are not, IMHO, as important (not yet anyway) as the impact they are having on the national psyche, from the government down to the "man in the street". If and when we are struck, then all of the naysayers, or many of them will become instant converts. In the meantime, I find myself reading these words quite often as of late:

"It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of the siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who having eyes see not, and having ears hear not the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I want to know the whole truth-to know the worst and to provide for it."

Unfortunately, I think you are right (that it will be our way of life for the forseeable future).

It makes me mad, quite frankly. STRONG leaders (sorry, I don't consider W to be AS STRONG as he needs to be - just witness the debacle re: illegal immigration) are needed - and there are none to be found. At least, none that either major party will nominate - there are just too many competing interests to have a true Patriot and Leader in the WH.

I will of course vote for George, as the alternatives are WAY worse. But, we need a leader of EPIC strength right now - not one who plays politics with the nation's security.

If I were Prez, the FIRST thing I would do is arrest & export the illegals. Secondly, I'd militarize the border, as O'Reilly has suggested numerous times - with orders to shoot to kill anyone who tries to sneak across. WHY is this so hard? Simple..it's not - but the politics make it undoable. In the meantime, we have to live in a damn near police state (just look at the security around the Superbowl. WHAT happened to the country I love - with FREEDOM?)

BTW..GREAT quote from Patrick Henry.

Lastly, I DO believe we are under huge threat. Quite possibly, something WILL happen - and soon. But I do not think that "EOM" is going to announce it.
