    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    No. We haven't. And we shouldn't.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    The right of self defense was not the issue. Everyone here, with me as an exception wants to wage war against Iran. So, get Congress to declare war.

    Unfortunately that fox is leashed and escorted by Putin and Co.
    Russia supports Iran only because it complicates the US position in the M.E.

    I would say that Russia supports Iran for genuine geopolitical reasons , while the US involvement in the region is all about oil and little else.

    Yes, and now that we frak, we should re-evaluate our interests in the ME. It may well be time to let them rot.

    He sent Air Force Blue Light Specials. Not Delta Force. You would know this if you didn't play video games all damn day and night.
