we are nearing interesting times

Romney is out. Looking at the CNN footage, the guy looks almost relieved. Maybe it's just me though.

His parting words about 'not surrendering to Terror' sounds like an unofficial, coded way of endorsing McCain. Again, maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

Romney's quit speech ticked me off.

I am convinced that unless America changes course, we will become the France of the 21st century

And to me, that is unthinkable. Simon Peres, in a visit to Boston, was asked what he thought about the war in Iraq. “First,” he said, “I must put something in context. America is unique in the history of the world. In the history of the world, whenever there has been conflict, the nation that wins takes land from the nation that loses. One nation in history, and this during the last century, laid down hundreds of thousands of lives and took no land. No land from Germany, no land from Japan, no land from Korea. America is unique in the sacrifice it has made for liberty, for itself and for freedom loving people around the world.” The best ally peace has ever known, and will ever know, is a strong America!

We had no allies during WWII, we don't have bases all over the world, we're not in another country right now, we didn't take the Marianas, and, oh, since it was two centuries ago we'll just ignore Guam, Puerto Rico, Texas ...

And tolerance for pornography—even celebration of it—and sexual promiscuity, combined with the twisted incentives of government welfare programs have led to today’s grim realities: 68% of African American children are born out-of-wedlock, 45% of Hispanic children, and 25% of White children.

It is time for the people of America to fortify marriage through constitutional amendment, so that liberal judges cannot continue to attack it!

Europe is facing a demographic disaster. That is the inevitable product of weakened faith in the Creator, failed families, disrespect for the sanctity of human life and eroded morality.

They would retreat and declare defeat. And the consequence of that would be devastating. It would mean attacks on America, launched from safe havens that make Afghanistan under the Taliban look like child’s play. About this, I have no doubt.

Nothing like fear mongering.

But I agree with him on doing whatever it takes to be successful in Iraq, on finding and executing Osama bin Laden, and on eliminating Al Qaeda and terror.

Right to trial? What's that?
