France attack is latest in our world war
Eight years after we elected the president who was going to “heal the nation” and bring us “hope and change,” little has changed that isn’t for the worse. The most recent attack is especially poignant since it occurred to our oldest ally, France, which has suffered three massive massacres in the past year.
I’ve actually strolled down that very same crowded street in Nice for Bastille Day. That memory is now very bittersweet for me as I somehow remember the faces of the delighted children eating ice cream and watching fireworks. There is very little I can add to my outrage of yet another violent tragedy, other than to say that we, the sons and daughters of liberty, are undeniably engaged in a World War … and yet we have no plans, no strategic objectives, to ever win it.
I hope you’ll remember that we could not have won our American Revolution without the help of France, which, like ourselves, is a republic that rejected their monarchy a few years after we did. That this radical Islamic terrorist attack happened on Bastille Day – their Fourth of July – is grotesque.
Patrick Henry once said, “Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace: but there is no peace. The war is actually begun.” Like it or not, we are engaged in a world war against radical Islamic terrorists.

GOP will guarantee Clinton win in Nov.
The GOP’s rejection of medical marijuana shows just how out of touch the party really is. They’re a half-century behind the times.
How can they possibly think they have a viable political platform? It’s just another reason why they will guarantee Hillary Clinton’s election.
