do something and should care. here you re saying should we care? i think he was just asking a question. that s fair. i m following its up. what greg just said about it, a governmentless country is a potential real serious threat to the united states. i agree. it should be a uniting factor for countries like america and russia. we should be uniting against something like this. we have the same problems. correct. i agree on those part wills. terrorism doesn t live in a bubble. it takes the path of less resistance. we roll it back and act like it s not our problem, we re losing badly. when you say hands off, what do you mean? ronald reagan, peace through strength. yeah but strong military and defense systems that had impact. whatever it takes strong but not necessarily attacking and gathering intell.

political class in washington doesn t understand, there was an argument in politico, the government gets a pass. huh-uh. on saturday, people are so far away, so much further than the political class, but take that rasmussen number. the stunning number, subnumber in that. among people who on the rasmussen index classify as mainstream america, 69% of them oppose this. among the people in the political class, the 18 or 20%, 71 are in favor. that is 101-point difference and yet everything we hear from washington okay, we re seeing a breakdown politically and you can see it in the alliances,y you have dianne feinstein with sack by chambliss, and mccain saying this is wonderful, good.
