"I think you may be right on this."
Deja vu all over again...IMHO, this was one of the Reagan Administration's worst failings, as they allowed out-of-control domestic spending by the DemonRATS in exchange for allowing America to win the Cold War against the Evil Empire. I believe the War On Terrorism is a just war America MUST win...but we can't cede American Domestic policy to the Left in the process!! We just can't!!!
The War On Terrorism is justified on its own merits...attempts to blackmail America into accepting an Anti-American Leftist Agenda in exchange for protecting American citizens from Anti-American Religious Zealots is a Devil's Bargain, IMHO!!

You capitulate to liberals, and you alienate some conservatives AND you do nothing to prevent liberals from using the failures of these liberal policies to defeat you in the future.
