I must respectfully disagree with you. The situation has landed in their laps many times and they have failed to respond. Jimmy Carter should have reduced Tehran to rubble back in 1979. He should have told thos maniacs they have until the Sixth Fleet arrives in the area to release those people. If not released, everyone will die, including the hostages. I know some of you balk at that, but look at where we are today. Clinton had many, many chances to do the same thing George Bush is doing today. But he rather get BJ's from Jewish Princesses than protect this country.

The inheritance of the left is Marxism in all its evil manifestations.

@@@@@

Which our 'news' media refuse to illustrate to our population. One example right on our border is Cuba, where time stopped in 1959.

During the Cold War the media were mostly anti-antiCommunist, and the end of that era was attributed to Gorbachev, instead of Reagan and Conservative principles.

When the USSR dissolved, Communists did not disappear, they just changed their approach. Remember the scary threat of Nuclear Winter? That didn't work so the same proponents morphed into the threat of Global Warming. Both ideas promoted to exert greater control of private citizens.

Our battle is within our country, and much of it concerns the 'education' of our children. Example: today's teenage girls grew up admiring Britney Spears. Now people are surprised when some of them show up on Myspace dressed like Victoria's Secret ads. Anything that destroys conservative values is promoted. Anything that supports conservative values, eg the Boy Scouts, has to be destroyed.

I used to be amazed when I would hear it, now I am disgusted and can't stand to be around them anymore.

Be also wary. These will be the first ones to attack you - to arrest you - should they ever get in power again and implement the iron rule they want.

It will not be just against the muzzie terrorists we will have to defend ourselves against, but these very real enemies within...thus history illustrates.

Once again, the cities are going to be a very undesirable place to live - neighbor will turn against neighbor

a moral relativism

Which has been programmed into the past 3-4 generations of our school children with the goal of the demSocialists of taking over the country and ruling - so blinded by their ambitions that they have not/do not recognize a far more lethal enemy has been creeping up behind them, and that the target is on their backs as well.

They think they will be hailed as friends by these barbarians...they are sadly - and may be fatally - mistaken

sums it up:
yet another Islamic fanatic conducts an act of al Qaedism in Seattle, and the police worry immediately about the safety of the mosques from which such hatred has in the past often emanated — as if the problem of a Jew being murdered at the Los Angeles airport or a Seattle civic center arises from not protecting mosques, rather than protecting us from what sometimes goes on in mosques.
thanks C from E for the ping.

All according to the '50 year plan" - with 4 years to go.

It was 1960 that Kruschev banged his shoe on the UN podium and promised to destroy the US within 50 years and "we will not have to fire a shot."

Their plans included the destruction of art, music, education, - the foundations of our society. They have been successful.

The patience of our enemies has corroded the very fabric of our country. This 50-year plan is even stated on the U. S. Communist Party and U.S. Socialist Party sites. They are patient as they win one step at a time. They have infiltrated and taken over the Democrat Party. We are fast approaching the tipping point. We let them back into power at our peril.

Father Coughlin (“Many people are beginning to wonder whom they should fear most — the Roosevelt-Churchill combination or the Hitler-Mussolini combination.”)

Father Coughlin, a major influence on Patrick J. Buchanan.

Thanks for the ping.

This one deserves Tolik's "Nail on the Head" designation, don't you think?

Yes. Except that it will be HERE, not OVER THERE this time.
