"the so-called "war on terror" (whatever the hell that may be"

Sounds like Dim talking points. You can't seriously doubt that we are at war with an enemy that wants to obliterate us.

The WOT, the war on Islamo-fascism, is the prime issue. If we do not mount a strong campaign against these people who have sworn to destroy us, we are doomed. We must have a POTUS who will fight on all fronts, domestically, with surveillance and interrogation, and internationally with the same.

If we lose the WOT, all the social issues we care about count not a whit. You can't bring a child into this world, bear arms, or defend marriage if you are dead.

The stakes are that high. Ignore them at your peril.

You will never convince me that we are even remotely serious about waging a "war on terror" so long as we maintain nearly unfettered access to this country across our southern border and through our international airports.

Heck -- I can't even fire a Muslim employee on strictly practical, defensive grounds without running afoul of all kinds of EEOC regulations.
