yet some here, still believe in the “Arab spring democracy movement”. and that women are “liberated” when wearing a burkha...

I think the problem with many is that they have implicit faith in the conservative leadership. The problem is that many of these "leaders" even when they share our ideology, are lazy, stupid, negligent or all of the above. The people we have elected are those that have been willing to submit to the equivalent of a prostate exam and passed. More and more, we are finding out that those who are willing to submit to such an exam are the dregs, people who can't make a living in a role other than politics, or people who view it as a part-time hobby.

AMEN !!!

PERFECT summary! (if i’d seen that, i wouldn’t have bothered to post my last...)

We need a “Churchill”. Someone who sees the enemy, even BEFORE getting elected, and is unafraid to say it, even BEFORE getting elected. THAT is true courage.

It took you 103 words to say everything that anyone needs to know about politics.

P.S. I love your quote!!!

“Christendom is honor and the fatherland and man with his back to the wall. It is the glory of lost causes and the splendor of certain defeat...

Frederick D. Wilhelmsen, The Bankruptcy of American Optimism”

i am a Christian (not as good as i should be), i am a Father. i fight for my child’s future, not mine.
THAT is why i want us to hold the line now, on Islam,
and on spending. So my child won’t have to fight to fix OUR mistakes !!!
