    Seriously? You prefer this to Brooks?

    To me, cowardice is the best reason not to publish, as articulated by the editor who asked how he could risk the lives of his whole staff over an ideal.

    I can understand that to an extent, but never in the history of the world has evil been defeated if those fighting against it weren't willing to die for their ideals. Not only are these extremists willing to do that, they're eagerly volunteering for it. That's what's really scary.

    When you make that decision, it's heroic. When you make it for others it's something else.

    They don't make ideals like they used to.

    Another friend of mine, a veteran, has this to say:

    "How much more TREASON will America tolerate from Hussein Obama?"

    How, exactly, is the President committing treason in regards to this attack?
    Please, Tony, Boom, Yankee Fan, enlighten me.

    While I understand that my friend is pissed off that everything he fought for seems as if it's being undone by the President, what the fuck does he know?
    And too fucking bad.

    My guess would be that he allowed these attacks to happen as a distraction from Benghazi.

    Well, yeah, it always comes back to Benghazi, doesn't it?

    Unless you're a physician, then you blame "Dr. Obama" when a patient complains about having to accept generic instead of branded prescriptions.
