I miss the decisive response of Teddy Roosevelt. And that was over a CENTURY ago.

Where have we gone so awry?

It seems we are negotiating with the Muslim/terrorists/pirates now.

God help us.

Funny, the "carry a big stick" phrase went through my mind.

We've gone awry because we have no strong leaders. We have no one in either party who has the huevos to stand up to these foreign terrorist punks and show them who they're messing with. Every politician is so afraid of losing votes, they've lost their nerve.

I not only miss Ronnie, I miss Barry, Teddy, Patrick (Henry), George (Washington), and Robert (E. Lee).
