Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Everyone should contemplate the fact that "....The pundits who backed Barack Obama in 2008 because of his ability to inspire the rest of the world were validated by events in the Arab world. There, just as in the U.S., young people gathered in the streets, swept out the regime in power, and found out that this whole governing thing is a lot harder than it looks....." those Arab young people were mostly if not all members of the Muslim Brotherhood that are slowely taking over the ME and will possibly become a dominating/united political force in control of this area's missle technology/capability [and that 9/11/01 may become minor in comparison to the possibilities of same]!!!!!!!!

As I have pointed out, when dealing with fanatics, one must punch them hard enough to win. For Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, it required a World War with millions of Japanese and German casualties. There were fewer than 200 million Japanese and Germans together, and it took razing their cities to the ground including dropping 2 nukes on Japan after the Tokyo firebombs!
What will it take to beat 1.2 Billion fanatics? How many nukes, how many dead?
When I am called a bloodthirsty so and so, I simply think about the fact that we are in a war, the other guys have plenty of kids to lose in their attacks on us, and what it takes to beat fanatics and get them to stop killing or threatening your people. Folks, it takes A LOT.
I despise sharia law. How do we stop it? What does it take?
