"U.S. has been fighting Islamic fundamentalism since colonial era"

I'm thinking that it's about time to wrap this one up, and win it, once and for all.

The Saudis bought the last election. Unless an attorney can get SCOTUS to uphold The Constitution then we are serfs.

President Obama is likewise wrong and naïve to believe that Islamic nations can be appeased through diplomacy and concessions.

I don't believe that's the scariest thing with our boy president, the scariest thing is he may well be sympathetic to the Islamic nations.

Good piece by Bryan Fischer.

Thank you for educating thousands of Americans who have probably NEVER heard the story of US action against the Barbary Pirates.
You’ve left out one delicious bit of absolute irony.
The USS Philadelphia went aground, true, and was eventually refloated by the pirates and taken to Algiers, there used as a moored gun platform “In case the yankees had to nerve to show up. The US Navy, by a detachment commanded by LT Stephen Decatur, raided the Philadelphia and burned it to the waterline, to keep the Algerians from using it....ever.
The name of the Captain of the Philadelphia and the name of the US destroyer sent to the current trouble scene was..
Captain William BAINBRIDGE and the
USS BAINBRIDGE.
I did my boot camp at a naval base at BAINBRIDGE, Maryland

This commitment to jihad, you will note, occurred long before American "imperialism," before any use for oil had been discovered, before there was a state of Israel, and before America had done anything to anybody.

Exactly, and this fact destroys arguments on the left and right. You know, those who say either "imperialism" and/or "empire" when it comes to defending ourselves against Islam?

Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.

Oh, dear...

Last I heard the frigate USS Constitution has been completely overhauled and is still listed as an active registered US navy warship, I say we sail it to Somalia as an image of what America stands for.

And mount a couple of Dillon 134’s on it as well, just in case.
