Besides, you can’t fight terrorists with the F-22 - It was designed to shoot down the best and brightest Soviet fighters around. Well, they ain’t around and soon neither will be the F-22.

What in the hell makes you think we're just going to be fighting terrorists from now on? When the day comes (and it will eventually come) that we cross swords with someone that has a real military and a real air force, we're going to wish like hell we had a system like the F-22 to deploy against them.

No kidding! And then all the trolls will be whining about us not having them and accusing the contractors or deliberately sabotaging us. Replace "F-22" with "Oil" and "Lockheed" with "Walmart" and most of their whining sounds just like the liberals. It is one of the only things we are spending money on that is tailor made to 'protect and defend' us. One of the few weapons we are spending money on that will give real enemies pause. So do we keep that and go after unconstitutional welfare? Heck no! I want someone to tell me what the hell the Federal government is for if it is not to build us F-22's and the like?
