"...The War against the Islamofascists is MUCH more important than any social issue - our very survival is at stake."---
Replace "Islamofascists" with "Communists" - it's the same song we hear every time. "How can you think about those issues when we might not be around next year...blah blah blah..."
There will always be people out there who mean us harm, always. That does not mean we give up everything important to us out of fear.
We've already seen this B.S. before:
1.) Proclaim that our issues don't matter in a "time of war."
2.) Declare perpetual war.
I didn't buy it then, I don't buy it now. You surrender YOUR issues, I'm not surrendering mine.
Sorry - I don't buy it.
Seeing Rudy in the White House INSTEAD of Hillary does not mean we are "giving up everything important to us".
Sitting back and allowing Hillary or Obama to win the White House is flat out nuts.
Your principles are going to mean doodley squat with either of them in the Oval Office.
