When will we decide to fight this war?

There can be such a thing as a lone wolf but this is not what we are seeing. We are seeing soldiers of the enemy. Islamic terrorism cannot be defeated until we stop trying to fight it as the last war and realize that new tactics are required. We don’t know yet all of the tactics. […]

Year of Democrat backfires

Shooting blanks For several years now the Democrats have very little in the way of policy. Their main campaign thrusts have been that they are not like their opponents.
