I love you to death brother. And I respect your opinion above most on this board, particularly on this subject. But militant Islam as a means to spread dissatisfaction along many lines of effort. It is cancerous in it's effect. Similar to Progressivism, it ccnstantly finds fault with the (for lack of a better term) status quo. It is destructive in nature. Where you and I agree is that we are permitting ourselves to be drawn into these inconsequential fights that prevent us from focusing on the defense of our Nation. We are being bled dry over these battles that have little to nothing to do with our vital National interests, but everything to do with (tinfoil hat on) the MIC and ME economics/politics. Like any spoiled child, we are giving these terrorists more attention than they deserve. They have no means to truly harm our country. They are not a near peer. They are a nuisance that we give too much attention to.

And we had a great Christmas. Both of my children came in from college. I could not have asked for a better present.

I think I understand what you were saying now. I agree 100% that the Islamic terrorists are absolutely using Islam to do this. They are going for every seam and crack, and they absolutely hide out among the moderates and the far left in order to achieve their objectives.

Happy New Year!
