Good piece by Marc Thiessen in the Washington Post

Yeah, OK...

Libiots will never offend the Cult of Mohammad, up until their heads are hacked off, they'll die stupid.

Libiots will never equate Mohammadan's with The Holocaust or Nazi's and Fascists...they haven't yet, so it stands to reason they never will.

So we have a large segment of the population who will allow a Holocaust to occur, so in my mind we have to deal with them before we can ever have any hope of dealing with the Mohammadan's!

Obama may be tired of war, as were Hitler’s enemies. But the Islamic State is not tired of war. It has been explicit about its intentions. The lessons of history are clear.

The free world ignores such barbarity at its peril.

Awesome summary.

Unless you're the type who actually believes in appeasing the Muzzies.

Those would be defined by our Founders as domestic enemies...I define them the same way.
