So, we have to find an answer otherwise we will have the media and terrorists (real or bought) ruling our elections through fear. Is that freedom?
There is nothing to fear but fear itself. The influence of the MSM is declining and so is their impact on our elections.
The terrorists can be muted and defeated. If we let the terrorists control us through fear, then we are the defeated. They can threaten all they want. I am more concerned about what they do. We are in a war, which is asymetrical rather than conventional. The enemy has the same objectives, just different methods and tactics. I have great faith in the American people that we will not be controlled by fear. We defeated the British to win our independence, endured a bloody civil war to keep the nation together, weathered a worldwide Depression, and defeated Nazism and Communism.
