You CANNOT be effective in a "War on Terror" if you are for open borders, lax enforcement, and amnesty to the criminal aliens

Nonsense. You cannot be AS effective if you don't tackle both fronts. I'll grant that. Obama will concede both fronts. McCain will concede one. Therefore I prefer McCain over Obama.

I concede NONE. Nobody should concede ANY. Anybody who concedes and compromises deserves the fate they have chosen.

I don't deserve that fate, but then I'm typically a hostage to the majority who make ill-advised choices.
