Comedy director David Zucker goes to GOP? You can't be serious!
David Zucker, the producer and director of "Airplane," "The Naked Gun" and "Scary Movie 4," embraced the Republican Party in 2004 and voted for President Bush, largely because of security concerns. Once a liberal activist and campaign adviser to President Bill Clinton, he made a low-budget anti-Kerry ad that ran mostly in Ohio and kept his political change-of-heart largely under Hollywood's radar.

From my letter to Sarah, above:
I believe we must rise above our usual political agendas to choose the right people to prosecute the War on Terror because no less than civilization, itself hangs in the balance.
Yes, you said it more succinctly than I. All of our parochial political concerns are important, but they will not matter one whit if we or our kids are living under sharia at the point of a gun in fifty years.
(ps, sorry for the typos in my post - like Drucker...etc. I had to let the dog out & let it go w/o re-reading, oops)
CORRECTION:
The failure to understand, or refusal to acknowledge, that a terrorist war requires only one consenting player, (i.e., the terrorist), was the proximate cause of 9/11. Bin Laden bombed the WTC in 1993, declared war on America beginning in 1996, committed acts of war against America throughout the 90s, and bill clinton did nothing. Clinton didn't understand, or refused to acknowledge, that when terrorists declare war on you and commit acts of war against you, you are, perforce at war. You have only two options: Fight... or surrender. Bill clinton chose 'surrender.'
Your content rendered any typo inconsequential if not invisible. ;)
I would add this: Your 50-year projection for our kids if we don't prevail is the best-case scenario.
You're right, definitely too rosy. The threat's immediate.(The islamofascists have admitted their intentions about that - no reason not to believe they mean what they say.)
The endgame is obvious.
The length of time it takes us to acknowledge this fact and muster the courage to do what we must is directly proportional to the resultant 'collateral damage' and inversely proportional to the probability that we will prevail. And if we wait until it's 'them or us' in real time, all bets are off.
And lethal.

Wonderful, unassailable reponse to your pacifist friend. I'd be interested in her reply, for insight (and maybe a chuckle.) Why is it so hard for so many to see the obvious imperative that islamo-fascist terrorism imposes?
I second that welcome. If Mr. Zucker hasn't yet discovered this fabulous club I hope he does so very soon.

Your presentation is getting more and more effective with each campaign.
Once again the groundroots and outsiders seem to be propping up the GOP public relations team, with Freepers like Mia T on the domestic front lines.
Well done!
