“Whether this is false or not, I think its made us wake up to something.”
You have made a very good point. America is fragile, extremely fragile.
And yes, we do need to be vigilant. The Socialist Democratic/Marxists have us fighting on many fronts and we MUST prevail.

McCain would have been a really lousy president, but zero is much worse, so basically I agree with you. I don’t think McCain would spend us into oblivion and I don’t think he would force such onerous ROEs on our troops.

I don’t care if he’s gay or not, as long as he believes in the Constitution. Heck, he could screw farm animals for what I care...he just can’t step down!

"Fox is reporting that this is not true."So many Freepers seem to go into panic mode before it can be proved true or not.
