This has been a long, ugly look in the mirror for us. Yes, we have foreign enemies. But how much more it hurts when our own ghetto thugs - fellow Americans - are the ones inflicting the pain. This is a wake up call like we've never seen.

Right on.

We ruined the inner cities of our country......... The Great Society..... the feeling of "entitlement", The Welfare State, the age of dependency............ aren't the liberals so proud of what they created?

I recommend "Wylie Avenue Days" for a great perspective on this.

Agreed, Maybe now we can dispel with the political correctness and get down to brass tacks. What is really good for all not just a few. IMHO politicians have been bickering among themselves about getting elected, serving lobbyist and not serving the people that elected them. The courts have been doing the same, Ind giving the criminal all the rights and taking the rights of the law abiding away from them. I for one amy fed up with them.
