I think my father was fooling around. I have brother by another mother, and he is posting here. I have to reiterate what he had to say. I don't think Mr. Best Wishes was ever a part of the silent majority. You don't read both sides of an argument, and keeping your opinions to yourself. Don't take the wrong way. Everyone should get involved, especially with the current state of politics. Open minded people are our only chance to restore sanity into government.

I do that small issue with your opinion about the 2009 killings at Fort Hood. It took six years to call it what it was terrorism, and do the right thing by the victims families. However, the terrorist in 2009 were Bin Laden's followers, and not ISIS. The feeling in 2009 President Obama was protecting Muslims in this country, and not protecting terrorists. There was some feeling the Pentagon was going on the cheap, and not paying the victims families by calling it work place violence. It took too long too fix their nonsense.

To call President a communist is beyond the pale. That is like calling the Republicans NAZIS, because all they want to do is increase military spending at the cost of the poor. If the threat to the poor from the Republicans is greater than ISIS could ever hope to accomplish, why shouldn't he protect them by placing an even amount of money in both areas. Isn't it a Christian belief, and Marine policy, the strong help and protect the weak? I am not a bleeding heart liberal. How do you know what the poor are going through, if you have never been there?

Didn't US citizens want us to get out of Iraq. "W" signed an agreement with Iraq's president giving a date certain to leave. I don't think ISIS was a great threat to us as they are now. Is it toothless to expect the sane countries in that area to get involved, and rendered ISIS toothless? Why do we have to be the world's policeman?

Why didn't the Republicans in the Senate approved giving President Obama war authority against Syria, when he asked for it? To make sure he couldn't cross the red line, so they could call he WEAK.

President Obama was called a center left politician, when he took office. He had done next to nothing, and people were yelling "give us our country back". My opinion the Republican party has moved much further right than him to the left. Who cares who more further in their direction of choice? They are so far apart next to nothing is working. How can that be good for anything?
