The Brits didn’t cower and abandon the effort after Dunkirk or during the Battle of Britain. Had they, WW2 would have been lost before we got into it.
I have to feel that the old British attitude of Never Give In is still alive and present in many British, but like in America, our media’s won’t show it and manipulate public opinion.

Hunter/Thompson would certainly peel off some of the whacko votes.

The Arabs with trade routes and caravans and proselytizing have had more than a millennium to erase tribal and national identities and cultures throughout a quarter of the globe. Bernard Lewis wrote of their laments in What Went Wrong? of achieving global domination.
What went wrong is a cult that's intellectually static, scientifically stunted and socially paralyzed. If it weren't for the infusion of technology and money from the West, the entire realm of the Mohammedans would have been snuffed out long ago.
Perpetual war is essential to their existence. Are we willing to take up the challenge? Are we prepared for that?

"Perpetual war is essential to their existence. Are we willing to take up the challenge? Are we prepared for that?"Do we really have a choice?

All “leftists” from both U.S. major political parties have lost the will to win!

I'm saying if you look at history, there have been victories by those who had no moral righteous.
I'm saying it's a fine line between self confidence and cockiness.
From a values perspective, it would mean that the self confidence comes from knowing for certain and without any doubt your position is correct. Cockiness could mean many things, including self confidence with an overly cavalier attitude. It can also mean your self confidence is maybe in resource superiority but not values or rule of law superiority.

Only the fairies and Marxists on the left — but they never had any will to win to begin with.

The question was not "Have YOU lost the will to win?" ~ it was a question asking collectively if America has lost the will to win -- and the answer is "Yes". You're right. What do we do about it? We elect people who turn out to be wolves in sheeps clothing. We email, fax, and write these individuals expressing our concerns(disgust, horror) over their blatant attempts to dissolve our country into some third world sh*thole. "Oh no, we can't offend our future oppressors. Let's just kiss their asses and lick their boots. Yeah, that'll work"!
Those of us who still have a few working brain cells, know that "they" are already here. We're going to end up fighting them in our backyards, on our streets, thanks to these appeasement monkeys.
When you say "America", you're talking about the people who are running our country into the dirt, not Americans. We will not surrender, we will not lay down and die like dogs. Muslims suck! So does Bill O'Reilly!
