I'm currently in the first quarter or so of "America's Victories: Why the US Wins Wars and Will Win the War on Terror" by Larry Schweikart. Very interesting book so far and he thoroughly details a number of reasons that make me extremely proud to be an American. We have a long history of treating those we capture on the battlefield far better than our enemies treat our men (and women) who are captured as POWs.
The accusations of torture in Gitmo and in Cuba will never hold water when they're compared to the contents of the al-Qaeda torture manual.
The media and the leftists will continue on their parade of "Blame American For Everything" and push for more pampering of our great nation's enemies, but I know when push comes to shove, there are far more patriotic Americans out there than America-haters, at least for now.
It has opened my eyes quite a bit to learn about the men who left their cushy jobs in the entertainment business during WWII to sign up and fight the Axis of Evil. It goes to show you where this country has arrived as not a single Hollywood actor gave up acting to join the military and fight the terrorism after 9/11. There used to be a day when the death toll of the enemy was cheered during the news broadcast, not the death toll of our own service men and women. How things can change.
I will post a full review when I finish the read.

This pretty much sums up my view on how I feel about how the rest of the world has basically blown off the need to end global terror.
The discussion of of all things challenging what's mine and the American way of life and maybe a few other odds and ends...just maybe.

Does this give you any clues: Pa State Constitution: Section 1, Article 21: "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned." What's this all about? The discussion of all things challenging what's mine and the American way of life. Maybe a few other odds and ends, maybe.

Quotes to think about:
- "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people's liberty keystone...the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable...more than 99% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go, all goes, we need them every hour." - George Washington
- "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." - Thomas Jefferson
