As Yamamoto said (maybe), in an armed country like the US there's a gun "behind every blade of grass". So in my view Trump's comment doesn't sound so far fetched. <br />Buy hey, I can live with Rubio and if he's the nominee I might even give him a few bucks.

They can't remember day before yesterday as the media focuses on the next sensational thing...like which rich kid at which university is whining about what nonsense. Trump speaks in generalities and calls names like a little girl. In the aftermath of Paris Trump talked about gun control in France, as if that is even relevant. Rubio calmly and cogently defined the clash of civilizations. "Either we win or they win".

The United States has become MUCH too risk averse regarding the killing of noncombatants in the modern era. Tokyo. Dresden. Coventry if that is your bend. In years past, when you went to war with America, Jack, you took on the whole country. And you could expect that we would fire bomb your cities, to include apartment buildings, kindergartens, hospitals, and residential city blocks. What happened when Quadaffi blew up a disco? Attacked his family home and killed one of his kids. Because we could. With a laser guided bomb. We obey the laws of war and proportional force/response while the other side burns shot down pilots in cages and enslaves/rapes infidels. Let loose the dogs of war. Turn the boys loose. You want to take the Pepsi challenge against Western Culture? Let me shine the 25 Megaton Bright White Light of Freedom over your squalid city block.

Perfect..."The professionals failed us..." Perfectly stated, as usual, Hammer. The average American sees the threat. The average American knows the threat. It is the rare,nearly extinct "professional" who acknowledges the threat.

His only point was we are too stupid to govern ourselves, we need PROFESSIONALS and he sure wished we would come to out senses. Ok, fair enough. There is a need for professionals in government. Professional diplomats, professional attorneys, law enforcement etc. I recognize that. But the leadership, the man or woman at the top should NOT be restricted to a professional political class. Ambition and talent and ideology aren't enough. <br />I told CW last evening that Trump had just won the American election. He berated me for being so callus during a time of great suffering (he thinks I'm a die-hard Trump supporter, my denials not withstanding). I was simply making an observation. What happened yesterday in Paris is a failure of leadership. A refusal to recognize a threat which over decades has shown no hint of moderation...NONE! The situation will only get worse until we isolate the threat and destroy the threat, at its root. <br />Open borders or mass immigration brings the threat to our doorstep. It's a recipe for national destruction and a reality our elites just won't, or can't accept. The professionals failed France last evening. The professionals are failing us everyday on every front be it national security, the economy or our protected freedoms. Sooner or later the professionals will get us murdered in our own beds. It's time for the professionals to take a break, we got this one, this election is ours."The Hammer"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16342812251947807673noreply@blogger.com
