Is this even being covered in the news? I’ve had Fox & Friends on for 90 minutes and there has been no coverage. Are we now expected to live with the idea that we can get killed looking for a new handbag???
John Kerry told you in 2004 that you’d just have to accept a certain nuisance level of terrorism in America.

Kerry’s Undeclared War
By MATT BAIOCT. 10, 2004
When I asked Kerry what it would take for Americans to feel safe again, he displayed a much less apocalyptic worldview. “We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they’re a nuisance,” Kerry said. “As a former law-enforcement person, I know we’re never going to end prostitution. We’re never going to end illegal gambling. But we’re going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn’t on the rise. It isn’t threatening people’s lives every day, and fundamentally, it’s something that you continue to fight, but it’s not threatening the fabric of your life.”
This analogy struck me as remarkable, if only because it seemed to throw down a big orange marker between Kerry’s philosophy and the president’s. Kerry, a former prosecutor, was suggesting that the war, if one could call it that, was, if not winnable, then at least controllable.
There’s a reason we had Japanese internment during the war. When there are poison Skittles in the bag, you seal the bag and keep it sealed.
