The House vote on the raising of the debt ceiling is coming to a vote very soon (within about a week).
Of course, you already ought to know where the Democrats stand...as faithful Socialists, they want an unlimited debt ceiling so that they can spend YOU into oblivion; bankrupting the nation and irreparably sinking our economy. REMEMBER, folks, that this is EXACTLY why you voted them out of office in November, 2010.
What is COMPLETELY unforgivable is the fact that 20 REPUBLICANS are in favor of raising the debt limit. In addition to that, another group remains "undecided"...which means "I'm a Liberal and I'm going to wait to see who'll pay what for my vote".
Here's the list:

AS I continue to caution: Liberty MUST be constantly defended. Your vote in November, as important as it was, means NOTHING if you refuse to continue to fight Socialism in America.
These "Republicans" MUST HEAR FROM YOU. NEVER compromise on principle! Let THEM know that YOU will not allow THEM to compromise, either.
Liberties, folks: only fight for the ones you want to keep.......
BTW, as to the title of this piece "The piece I hope I DON'T end up writing": if this vote ends up handing a gigantic financial cookie jar to the Socialists, there will be NO ONE to blame but ourselves.....because, as the saying goes, "...good men did nothing"

It's called "probing"....
No, this isn't a piece about new Liberal IRS methods...
A news piece came out today (which you are unlikely to hear about in the mainstream media, because it happened on Obama's watch...): A Portland, Oregon flight was diverted and performed a "level 2" emergency landing because of three men who were acting strangely on the flight. I'm sure it will come as a surprise to you that the three men were of Middle Eastern descent.
Evidently, the three men were fighting with flight crews, laying down in flight attendant's areas, complaining of illness, continually pacing up and down aisles and passing notes amongst themselves.
Of course, IF you DO hear about it (from a source other than Fox News), it will be written off by the administration as paranoia, a false alarm, or discrimination against "peaceful Muslims".
Aside from the stupidity of our President, this is nothing of the sort.
In war, they call it "probing". The enemy is looking for weaknesses which they can then exploit. And, make NO mistake: they WILL.
IF, by chance, this ISN'T probing, then it's another military term: diversionary tactic. Get your enemy to look the other way and concentrate his forces in another direction.
The problem here, folks, is simple: These radical Muslims are VERY smart; they understand war stategy and tactics.
Our President, on the other hand, is a blithering idiot, whose only ability to make war has been against the unborn.

Code word: SUCCESS
When Barry calls something a "success", you'd better run for cover...
Every bailout has been called a success by Obama; that's why we are back into a VERY deep recession. It's also why we are experiencing the largest debt in our nation's history.
Obamacare was called a "success"...which is why over 1000 major corporations have received exemptions for its enactment.
...And now, Obama has characterized the Libyan mission "a success"...which is why, only a week or so into the mission, the coalition is ALREADY falling apart, entirely without leadership, gameplan, exit stategy or objectives.
It would seem that Obama's characterization of ANYTHING must be viewed as "opposite day"...
To quote Sarah Silverman in "School of Rock": "Oh my GOD....he's an IDIOT!"

Quote quiz of the day....
Who said this:
"I have continued directing the unpopular fight for the rights of agitation, as director of the American Civil Liberties Union.... I am for socialism, disarmament and ultimately for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is, of course, the goal."

Where are the cries for a war crimes commission???
After all, that's exactly what you wanted when Bush resumed a war in Iraq (yes, "resumed", since a ceasefire had been in place since 1991, contingent on certain terms which Hussein...Saddam, not Barack...grossly violated).
You called it (and still do) an "illegal war of aggression", didn't you? (Yes, you did...and do).
What you never bothered doing, though, is to define "illegal". How, exactly, was the return to hostilities in Iraq an "illegal" act? It was sanctioned by the UN (not that that matters). It was even sanctioned by the United States Congress, who is tasked to declare war. (Article 1, Section 8).
So why aren't you Liberals filing war crime charges against Obama? He hasn't obtained Congressional approval for this action. In his own words, he admits this, suggesting, instead, that he "consulted Congress" on the matter (which, BTW, Barney Frank contradicts).
As I recall, you also included on the Bush list of "war crimes" the incident at the Abu Ghraib prison. Concluding that Bush, as the Commander-in-Chief of the military, was ultimately responsible for the actions of his troops.
Well, if that is the case, again: where are the calls for a war crimes commission for Obama? It was revealed that soldiers under HIS command murdered civilians, then took pictures posing with the dead.
I know that those calls will never happen, because your beloved Obama can do no wrong (as far as you are concerned). Bush, on the other hand, could do no right...again, as far as YOU are concerned.
Intellectual honesty..........not so much.

Remember when....?
I think it was in 2005....
President Bush attempted to exit a room through a locked door.
Remember how the press hounded him about it?
Remember how Liberals just couldn't leave it alone?
Remember how the Socialist blogosphere erupted with hostile vitriol:
- "Bush has no exit strategy"
- " Who is really surprised by another stupid move by the dumbest man on earth?"
Ah...yes....the memories...
Well, until today, that is.
Seems as the "smartest man in the world" tried to walk through a locked door...AT THE WHITE HOUSE! If Bush is dumb...what exactly does this make Obama???
Oh...and, BTW...this is his second incident.....in early 2009, Obama attempted to walk through a WINDOW at The White House...
So....WHO is the dumbest? WHO has no exit strategy?

From "The Patriot Post"
Top 10 Rejected Obama Mission Names
Apparently the White House tossed out a number of perfectly good names before arriving at "Operation Odyssey Dawn":
10.Operation Nine Months In The Senate Didn't Prepare Me For This
9. Operation Organizing for Libya
8. Operation Double Standard
7. Operation FINE! I'll Do Something
6. Operation Enduring Narcissism
5. Operation So That's What the Red Button Does
4. Operation France Backed Me Into A Corner
3. Operation Start Without Me
2. Operation Unlike Bush Wars This One Is Justified Because Hey Look A Squirrel
1. Operation Aimless Fury
Hirotanote: "Operation Enduring Freedom", "Operation Desert Shield", "Operation Desert Storm"........these mission names have meaning, as do the missions themselves.
"Operation Odyssey Dawn"?
Well.....it would seem that the mission name SHOULD reflect the mission (and, for that matter, the man himself): neither the mission name, the mission nor the man make any sense
whatsoever....

His "Bush moment"...
Obama's worshippers in the media got their wish: Obama has, with the crisis in the Middle East (which, in reality, is only a crisis because of Obama's feckless leadership....think Kennedy/Cuban Missile Crisis), been handed an opportunity to show the world what kind of leader he really is.
And, boy....has he showed 'em!
There's an old saying that "it's better to be thought of as a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt".
This is the "action" version of that quote.
Obama has already been relegated to "go sit in the corner...children should be seen but not heard" status by the world leadership. Now, with his bumbling antics in Lybia, his childish behavior is on full display. No WONDER no one takes him seriously...
But, there's a down side, folks.
In his pathetic rules of engagement, no populated centers will be attacked. ONLY places of "military value", FAR from cities, will be listed as potential targets. NO ground forces will be committed.
...and, as he SHOULD have learned from the past, fighting with these types of rules of engagement is like claiming to be half-pregnant.
So, because there IS precedent to Obama's "Bush Moment" bumbling, I'd like to make a prediction:
Ground forces WILL be necessary. They might not end up being ours, but someone from the coalition will have to take an actual leadership role in Obama's War For Oil.
Why will ground forces be needed? Simple:
Lybian military forces (along with their new ally, al Qaeda), especially now that they know that we won't be fighting in populated areas, will move to populated areas, terrorize the citizenry, and FORCE the coalition to either surrender or go fight them on their turf.
BTW, the reason the enemy knows all this is because a) they DO study history and b) our blithering-idiot-in-chief announced his war plan.

SHOCKING news!
I know that this will come as QUITE a shock to you, but ANOTHER Democrat has been found guilty of tax evasion!
DEMOCRATIC Senator Claire McCaskill has been found to have failed to pay taxes on her aiplane (OH....those poor, poor...middle class Liberals...who own their own airplanes...).
Seems as she owes a mere $287 THOUSAND in taxes.
Her response?
To convince her husband to "sell the damn plane"!

Hey...wait a minute....
During the Gulf War (two), Liberals concluded that Bush was HATED by the world because of his inability to put together a many-nation coalition. Right?
Well, if this proved that the world hated Bush, then what does it say for Obama, who has only 15 coalition partners?
Oh...BTW....Bush had 30 coalition partners.

The Obama doctrine...
You done laughing? Yeah, it took me awhile, too.
Bush was accused of having a doctrine (he didn't, btw).
Now, today, it was announced that Obama has a doctrine. (laughing again.....).
Without having bothered to read what HAS to be winner of the "most intellectually challenged article of the day" award, one can only conclude, based on his history, that "The Obama Doctrine" is as follows:
DO NOTHING....EVER.
(After all....it worked ust fine for Clinton and Carter...)

War for oil.
You KNEW it was coming...
Liberals are now screaming "WAR FOR OIL" now that Obama has summoned at least a modicum of spine and at least, sort of, kinda but not really, a little bit, quietly, offhandedly...made a decision on Libya.
And, of course, it's "NO WAR FOR OIL!" by Liberals.
But, I have a question....
SO WHAT if it IS a "war for oil" (not that it is)?
If you Liberals don't like "wars for oil", then let's drill here, in America.
Don't want that?
Then don't drive your car.
Don't turn on your lights.
Don't wear clothes (or anything that requires oil-fired machinery to manufacture).
Don't walk on asphalt.
Grow 100% of your own food (but don't use rubber hoses to water your plants or, for that matter, don't use water that comes from the tap, as the electricity that runs the pumps that gets the water to your house is probably oil-fired)
Don't listen to CDs, DVDs.
Don't watch movies.
Don't use nearly ANY type of plastic.
Don't use most of the lubricants commonly available.
Don't use paraffin.
Don't use ink.
Don't use deodorant.
Don't use crayons.
Don't wear eyeglasses.
If you need a heart valve replacement: deny it.
Getting the picture? There are tens of THOUSANDS of uses for oil and oil products.
So, not that we are, but SHOULD we have wars for oil? ABSOLUTELY, since you idiots don't want use to be oil-independent.

Remember when....
Number 754,876 of the "things that prove Liberals are idiots":
General Carter Ham stated that Gaddafi was not part of the US mission in Libya.
Presumably, as in 1991, the UN would not approve coalition action against Libya if Gaddafi was to be included in the list of "stuff to do".
Well, now we can be assured, because of Liberals in the US AND the UN, that history will repeat itself....
In 1991, the coalition was forbidden from including Saddam as an "objective" to the war in Iraq.
Because of this gutless decision by the UN, President Bush (one) was forever berated by Liberals (who didn't read the UN resolution, evidently) for not taking care of Hussein (Saddam, not Barack).
And, as a result, Kurds were butchered, WMDs were massed, and the second Gulf War was necessitated.
Anyone feel like predicting the future, with respect to Libya?

Want to know who has the best shot at being the next President (Republican, that is)?
Follow the press. Listen to Liberals.
Then, determine who they tell you has ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE at being elected.
THAT will be the next President.
Current front runner: Palin.

Remember Abu Ghraib?
You OUGHT to, folks. Liberals pounced on this story of the prison camp interrogation, humiliation-of-detainees, and resulting unfathomably stupid photo-takers as, yet another, "bash Bush" and "resign the war" ploy. Mostly, though, it was the Bush thing......anything they thought might make our President look bad was Holy Gospel to Liberals (like they'd know what "Holy Gospel" is...).
Well, now we have something FAR worse: soldiers killing civilians, then posing with the bodies. WTF!? Idiots.
It's Abu Graib times 1000.
BUT, it would seem now that the press, along with the White House, are working feverishly to bury the story.
.....I wonder why....

Yet another report came out today, using the Liberal mantra "double dip recession".
Now, it's important to understand that there are two VERY important points that need to be made regarding this statement:
1. The reason Liberals use, and love, this phrase is that they desparately cling to the time between these two "recessions" to attempt to justify their continued rape of our economy.
2. In suggesting a "double dip recession", however, Liberals now have to face the fact that they can no longer blame President Bush for wrecking the economy (which, of course, is a lie continually told by Liberals in order to cover Obama's ineptitude). You see, if Obama's brilliant policies got us out of the "Bush recession", then Obama's CONTINUED policies have sunk us EVEN further (with the second "dip").
Ah, Liberals......never really think things through, do they!?

Let's take a moment to count our blessings....
Stimulus: response.
Stimulus: response.
Stimulus: response...
Egypt blows up: Obama hosts a concert at the White House.
Lybia blows up: Obama goes golfing.
Nearly the whole of the Middle East erupts in violent protest, pleading for America's help: Obama picks b-ball games.
Allied forces (with the exception of America) FINALLY respond to Lybia: Obama parties in Rio...
Obama, along with rest of his administration of academics, has completely checked out. His presidency, thus far (especially lately) has been like a Haight-Ashbury commune, where every day is a drug-induced delusion, whose "family" dreams in color, incapable of contemplating anything more significant than their own belly buttons...
And, while the world explodes around us, America sits idly by, waiting for leadership to happen....which, of course, it won't.
BUT, folks, let's take a moment to count our blessings.
While the Democrats, led by the Reverend Sun Myung Obama, lick postage stamps and suck on sugar cubes all day, AT LEAST they aren't attempting to make substantive decisions.
Let's face it, folks, if Obama has shown anything during his time as President, its this: he is COMPLETELY incapable of making a rational, reasoned, competent decision.
So....I ask you: which is better? To have a President (and administration) who has obviously "left the reservation", or have this President (and administration) actually make a decision....knowing full well that that decision will be THE WORST possible decision that can be made?
Remember: let's count our blessings today.....then pray for the good folks in the Middle East...

Obama, still the rookie.....
Previous to the 2008 Presidential election, opponents of the Obama camp tried to make issue of Obama's lack of management skills. In fact, he has ZERO experience as a manager....of ANYTHING. Now, of course, he is tasked with managing the business of the United States of America.
Folks, there was a reason why Obama's lack of management experience is of supreme importance.
I've spent most of my professional career teaching managers how to manage and how to lead. I have many years of management experience and have been in the position of teaching others HOW to manage. What I see in Obama is typical of what I've seen for many years of watching people take their first steps in the process of management.
Obama, BECAUSE he's never managed, falls into the first trap of new managers: micromanagement.
Truly effective managers are "big picture" people. They are tasked to see ALL. Then, their responsibility to task others to manage smaller portions of that "all". This comes through experience and emtoring. Obama doesn't possess the ability to see the "big picture" because he is a micromanager; becoming too involved with the minutae. He's never managed anything and for the most part, neither have ANY of his administration (therefore, he has NO mentors).
So, when you consider the fact that he can't handle the situation in the Middle East, can't handle the Guld oil disaster, can't handle an appropriate response to the current tragedy in Japan (or Haiti, for that matter), can't handle the numerous acts of domestic terrorism since 2008, can't handle the economy, can't handle ANY foreign affair, can't handle ANYTHING.......
.....well....now you know why.
Hirota: out.

Now we ALL get to reap what YOU have sown...
A little news item came out today....
Wholesale prices, almost across the board, are increasing. Food alone is up the highest amount in over 35 years. But EVERYTHING, from food to services, is UP.....BIG!
Liberals want NO oil production in the US.
On top of that, Liberals want to "punish Big Oil" with ever-higher taxes, regulations, etc.
Liberals want to "tax the rich".
Liberals want to tax "Big Corporate"
Well, to you Liberals, who, by the way, are ALSO now paying higher prices on EVERYTHING, I say, "SHUT THE F*** UP!".
Guess what? YOU don't get to complain. YOU don't get to have an opinion.
Why? Because it's YOUR fault these things are happening.
And, I told you as much, but, as usual, you just didn't listen. (No surprise there....).
Because you don't want domestic oil production, oil prices fluctuate at the whim of foreign (many of them terrorism sponsors) countries. This causes increased oil prices. The price of oil goes up: the price of ANYTHING associated with oil GOES UP! It now costs more to produce and deliver nearly EVERYTHING. Result: Prices go up.....TO YOU. That's right: crucify "big oil" and YOU pay the price.
"Rich people" and "big corporate" happen to be the people who hire people and produce most of what YOu consume. Tax them unduly, and YOUR prices go up....so YOU end up paying the price of "taxing the rich".
The story goes on and on....
What Liberals WON'T tell you is that when you attempt to screw those who are the most productive in society, it's actually YOU who ends up screwing yourself. After all, they just pass those taxes on....TO YOU. And, if they DON'T pass the taxes on to you, they are forced to cut staff....which means YOUR job. Unemployment goes up....YOU LOSE.
But, it's really not Obama's fault. Nor is it Pelosi's fault. Nor is it Reid's fault.
Nope.......it's YOUR fault. YOU are stupid enough to support these idiots.
And, because YOU are stupid enough to listen to them: YOU end up getting screwed.
So, stop complaining, Liberals....this is what YOU wanted.
Want to change it? Easy: stop being stupid.

Putting things in perspective...
Sometimes, numbers and figures can be SO large as to be unfathomable. After all, how often are any of us in a position to consider what it's like to count, hold, see or spend a trillion dollars? And this number represents only one of the 3.8 TRILLION dollars of the 2011 national budget, as proposed by our Democrat President.
And, unfortunately, when issues like this seem so far above our ability to comprehend, we tend to give up, tune out, and entrust others to grasp…
…which, of course, given the extraordinary level of corruption in our Government (almost exclusively from the Democratic side, as it turns out), is a VERY bad idea.
So, when discussing certain realms of politics, I like to use analogies, so that an issue can be broken down to a non-confusing form and can be applied to normal, everyday life…
So, let’s look at the budget, and the breathtaking incompetence of Democrats in the budget process…
First, let’s make one thing clear, as this current budget battle has provided a wonderful example of “what Liberals say” as opposed to what they actually mean.
Harry Reid, along with Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats have expressed the desire to “meet half way” in terms of how much cutting should be done to Obama’s proposed budget. The term they use is, in fact, “HALF WAY”. (If you and I were to meet “half way” on say, $100.00, you’d end up walking away with $50, and so would I, right?). But Liberals don’t view “half way” quite the same way. Republicans have proposed approximately $61 Billion in cuts to a $3.8 TRILLION budget). Democrats (Liberals all of them) proclaiming their desire to meet “half way”, have proposed $10 Billion in cuts. Now, to you and I, “half way” on $61 Billion equates to $30.5 Billion. But to Democrats, “half way”…meeting in the middle…means that Republicans must take around five steps for every one step taken by Democrats. Hopefully, for ALL voters, this will be a lesson learned…
Back to the budget…
Obama has proposed a $3.8 TRILLION budget for this year. Democrats are willing to begrudgingly offer $10.5 Billion in cuts. HUGE numbers, both!
Perspective: let’s say you make $100,000.00 per year. Let’s say, further, that you have decided, begrudgingly, to cut spending and have decided to use the Democrats formula as a guideline.
The proposed $10.5 Billion in cuts to a $3.8 TRILLION budget equates to a total cut of .0028% of the total budget.
In other words, if you made the same cut to YOUR $100,000.00, you’d be proposing to cut a total of $280.00. (If you are thinking that that constitutes “meaningless”, you are correct. $10.5 Billion seems HUGE, until it’s put in perspective).
But, you might say, “well, $280 is $280, and dammit, that’s a step in the right direction!”
And, right you’d be, unless, of course, you put this into perspective of our Liberals’ current spending habits…
A news item came out last week that, in this month alone, Democrats walloped the country with a $225 BILLION deficit…..FOR A SINGLE MONTH! (Keep in mind that the last budget submitted by Bush before Democrats took over Congress was $116 Billion….FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR!).
So, if we take that $225 Billion and multiply it by a years’ cycle, that means that Democrats plan on OVERSPENDING the Federal budget by $2.7 TRILLION (keep in mind that that total budget is $3.8 Trillion).
Perspective:
Let’s say you did the same thing with YOUR $100,000.00. That means that, taking in $100,000.00, you’d end up spending the entire $100,000.00, PLUS an additional $71,000.00!
Putting it all together, in perspective:
If you acted in the same manner as Obama and Congressional Democrats, here’s what you’d be doing:
Your operating income: $100,000.00 per year.
Your current spending habits: $171,000.00 per year.
Your proposal to “cut back spending”: $280.00 per year.
I’m no mathematician, but that sounds pretty stupid to me. And again, not being a mathematician, I rather suspect that, with those habits, I’d be broke.
Folks, I sure hope you keep these things in mind when it comes time to pull the lever...

If you haven't done so yet.....
The disaster in Japan should NOT be a wake up call for you to conduct your own, personal, emergency preparedness evaluation. Hopefully, you are already, at least somewhat, prepared for disasters and emergencies...
If not, there's no time like the present.
Here's a link to a FEMA emergency preparedness checklist. PLEASE....print it out, read it, and get prepared.
http://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/epc.pdf
The only emergency situation they fail to mention is the VERY possible affects of our current administration....(and, no, this isn't intended as a joke...)
PLEASE: BE PREPARED!

Yup.....that about says it all....
(This picture is by Michael Ramirez, EASILY my favorite political cartoonist. I edited out a single word, "Egypt", because you can take ANY issue, and Obama's ability to handle it is the same...). The original is here:
Liberalism shows it's true face....again
Because, evidently, voters STILL just don't get it, Liberals remind us, through their actions, WHY we should take more time to understand....TRULY UNDERSTAND....issues and candidates BEFORE we vote on them.
On display, right now in Wisconsin, is Liberalism in it's truest form. Now that Governor Walker and Republicans have found a way to vote on the Public Union collective bargaining issue, while Democrats continue to hide under rocks, Liberals are acting out like the petulent children they are.
Republicans are now receiving death threats and Public Unions are now threatening businesses with boycotts is those businesses do not join them in protesting against Governor Walker.
Remember, folks, that this is the Party that claims to be "for the people", "the party of peace", "the party of fairness", "the party of individual rights", "the party of choice".
In truth, they are NONE OF THE ABOVE. Rather, they are the party "you'll do it my way or you're dead".

Michael Moore
Michael Moore stated today that "rich people's money" isn't really theirs. Rather, it belongs to the people.
His full remarks were, "They're sitting on the money, using it for their own -- they're putting it someplaceelse with no interest in helping you with your life, with that money. We've allowed them to take that. That's not theirs, that's a National Resource, that's ours. We all have this -- we all benefit from this or we all suffer as a result of not having it. I think we need to go back to taxing these people at the proper rates. They need to -- we need to see these jobs as something we some, that we collectively own as Americans and you can't just steal our jobs and take them someplace else."
Comments:
- WOW! Is there a Liberal platitude he DIDN'T hit??? Perhaps, if given the chance, he'd have gone on to talk about healthcare, gun owners and the glory of abortion...
- Is this guy illiterate??? Moore obviously has great difficulty putting words into a cohesive sentence! AND HE'S A ROLE MODEL FOR LIBERALS!?!?
- I wonder if it's ocurred to this corpulent pig that he's worth an estimated $25 million? Last time I checked, that qualifies for "rich". Since his wealth, by his own words, is really MINE, perhaps he should cut a check to me, personally, for...say....$2.2 million...
WOW, folks. I have to believe that the only people more stupid than Moore are those who believe in him.
Michael Moore: what a boob.

Another Attack, Another Gutless Response
With cries of "Allah Akbar", a gunman opened fire on a bus carrying a group of US soldiers. The gunman killed two soldiers and wounded two more. The incident took place in Frankfurt Airport, Germany.
Reports are that the gunman, a Kosovo native, cried "Allah Akbar" when he opened fire, and may have screamed "Jihad Jihad" when captured and wrestled to the ground.
Johnny-on-the-spot as ever, our gutless-wonder-in-chief respended quickly, saying he was "saddened and outraged" at the event, going on to vow to "spare no effort" in finding out how the incident happened.
First things first: "Spare no effort"? I have no doubt that he'll do just that: spare NO effort (as in "he won't bother sparing or expending any effort in this matter".
Second: "Spare no effort" in finding out HOW this happened??? How about "SPARE NO EFFORT IN PUNISHING THE PERPETRATORS AND THEIR SPONSORS"?!?! (What is wrong with this idiot??)
Finally: folks, the ONLY results we are likely to see:
1. If the perpetrators are discovered to be Muslim radicals, it'll NEVER be reported, either by the White House or by the mainstream media.
2. The Obama administration will be forbidden from characterizing this incident as a "terrorist attack".
3. The Obama administration will do NOTHING, physically, to punish the radicals.
This idiot, Obama, has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in response to the growing number of terrorist attacks (at the hands of Muslim radicals) aimed at our citizenry.
THIS is why attacks, large and small, will continue to happen...
