"That seems to be our "leaders" primary concern these days when dealing with the psychopaths in the Middle East and elsewhere."
Don't it just break your heart? It makes me sick. I'm just done reading a few books about the early period of American Independence. They revealed in detail what the word "American" and "leader" used to mean: brave, principled, truthful, independent, fierce against foes, a trusted friend, self reliant, honorable, dutiful, loyal, willing to make sacrifices for freedom and his fellows, unyielding in the cause of liberty. How we have fallen!
Now we have Jesse Jackson, Britney Spears, Rap music, Hollywood and all the cowards, curs and traitors in the media, academia and government stifling these great values and replacing them with dishonor and every form of degradation. I'm not the crying type, but I feel like weeping over this state of things today of all days when I see that report and how it is received and trumpeted as a great occassion for the enemies of America.
This describes nobody in Washington DC, certainly not in the leadership of the incoming Congress.
