I will never desert GW Bush or the Republicans either, even though I disagree with them on a number of issues. I'm much more conservative and consider myself an objective student of war history, particularly the American wars. There is no substitute for total victory. History teaches that quite clearly. But, my fear is that America, now fast asleep at the wheel will bring the Democrat Party back into power. And....that my friend, will destroy America as we know it from any one of a number of parameters. Whether it is war, homeland security, taxes, immigration, social security, medicare, same sex marriage, etc. the Democrats will turn the country, first into a socialist nightmare, then into a secular nightmare, and finally they will open up our borders, not to illegal immigrants, but terrorist Nukes. A few years from now millions of American families will be mourning their loved ones, and asking how could this have happened. 911 tells the whole story of how Bill Clinton and his Democrat Party failed to protect America from attack. Americans are in denial about 911 and the events that led up to it. History will repeat itself. The USA is going down unless the American public and voter wakes up to reality, which they won't. I, with all my heart, wish it was otherwise, but it isn't.
Don’t worry, the islamofascists can’t win. Not by either of their two options.
Option one, active military engagement: they lose because the more active they become against us (meaning trying to fight us at home) the more hawkish Americans will become. You could say our hawkishness is right now at 30%, so imagine an American public with an 80 or 90% fighting spirit. No political leader could oppose such a unified citizenry.
Option two is political shenanigans like the current tactic of manipulating our media and taking advantage of our collective guilt syndrome (as described by Shelby Steele recently), they need a lot more time to destroy us—decades—and by that time most of their younger generations will be westernized enough from global expansion of western culture so that islamofascism will dry up from the inside.
