Could our nation survive?
Unfortunately, the Government is its own worst enemy here. Instead of DISARMING the American citizenry, the President and his Attorney General should be saying, "Okay, unorganized militia: Break out the guns and ammo and keep your powder dry. We don't expect any able-bodied men (of sound mind) to leave home without at least one weapon on his person." In the meantime, let's PRAY for Divine Protection on our fair land, her leaders, and her people.
Of course, we are in unknown territory here, so nothing is certain.

(Oh, yes, Barney Frank, Charlie Rangel, and Dickie Gephardt aand a half dozen other hard lefties, would be the only ones to survive in the House:
That would be the true nightmare/doomsday scenario!!
Could the nation survive then?
Would we wnat to?
Inquiring minds want to know....

The boy asked what had happened to it and why was it so important and the father replied:
"They were two 110 story glass and steel towers that represented the gleaming jewel of our country in our strength and dedication to freedom. They were knocked down by Arab Terrorists in the year 2001.
The child was silent for a loooooong moment and then he looked up at his dad and asked in wonder:
"Daddy....WHAT'S AN ARAB?"
On what? New York?
The nukes are already here in country !
