To protect American national security we must first understand what threatens American national security. We must grasp who our enemies are, what animates them, and how they work together - despite their internecine rivalries - to destroy us from without and within. We must stop trying to define "true Islam" and start restoring our own principles as our guide: liberty, equality of opportunity, the rule of law, and peace through strength.

The vast majority of Americans still believe in these principles. It is Washington that has lost faith. It is Washington that looks at liberty's enemies and sees friends; that looks at anti-Western Islamic supremacists and sees "moderates" it can play ball with; that looks at lawbreakers and tut-tuts that "the system is broken."

Reinvigorating American principles will require taming Washington. It calls for restoring the Constitution as a vital limit on government, not a relic...or an obstacle. Ted Cruz gets this. Many Republicans talk the talk - we hear it in every election season, right up until it is time to stop campaigning and start governing. Senator Cruz walks the walk. That is why I believe he should be the next president of the United States.

LOL!

I’m literally sore and out of breath laughing from reading your comedy.

Put the thesaurus away; you don’t know how or when to use it.

I’ve noticed that.

One could get the impression you laugh to draw attention away from your lack of answers and refutations.

Some of us have said this for months. Good to see NRO climbing aboard.

We’ll keep saying it until an actual, rock-ribbed conservative, Ted Cruz, wins the nomination.
