Good post, Southern Federalist. You are right, survival comes before all else, because if we don't make it, there will be nothing but Taliban rules from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
I am amazed that few understand what is required in time of war. Thanks for the flag!
Some, who don't get it, are very young. They have led soft, safe lives, and their understanding of history is from that perspective. Why the older ones don't get get it, is beyond me, but we know who doesn't believe we walked on the moon. Why should he now believe anything else ?
What I'd REALLY like , is for all of the nay sayers and worriers about imagined miseries, is for them to go down to " ground zero ", in Manhattan and help dig for and bag body parts.
