Some will argue that a weapon capable of protecting American and allied lives is more dangerous than the terrorists and dictators who openly state their willingness to use weapons of mass murder to kill hundreds of thousands and even millions of civilians. This argument against America protecting itself is a path to enormous danger. Imagine an enemy of the United States that has developed a chemical or biological weapon.

Our enemies within, the Democrats, will prevent us from developing such a weapon while our enemies without will go ahead and do it. Been going on for years.

Newt Gingrich ought to wake up and smell the coffee. The biggest threats this nation faces don't come from what is being stored in those bunkers, but from "ordinary" people from all over the planet who are permitted unfettered entry into this country.

It is ludicrous for the U.S. to wage war against Iraq, Afghanistan, or any other nation without also sacking every incompetent bureaucrat in our government whose very presence in positions of authority are a danger to this country.

The democrud led destruction within has been going on for decades, I think.

I knew in high schoool in 1960's that Kennedy was not good for our Republic. I still believe that. Those since have certainly not been good.

And far too many Republicans have been complicit in the destruction.

IMHO.
