Afraid to do what is necessary.

But wherever we run, there we are: empty, unable to see ourselves, afraid to do what is necessary, afraid to confront the little monsters, oblivious to the big monsters; tolerant of what should never be allowed, ignorant of fatal things and signs of destiny. If you do not know yourself, how can you recognize your enemy as he paints himself your friend?

Things we tolerate:

• Saudi subversion,
• Iranian/Syrian/Hezbollah terror,
• illegal immigrants,
• anchor babies,
• welfare and educational benefits for illegal immigrants,
• large immigrant criminal populations,
• the Mexican government,
• Chinese campaign contributions,
• Chinese spying,
• the insane strengthening of China at the expense of other allies,
• illegitimacy,
• hip hop culture,
• Al Sharpton,
• Hollywood subversion,
• hate speech laws,
• European welfare states hiding behind U.S. troops,
• U.S. pro-Muslim policy regarding Kosovo,
• the useless U.N.,
• multiculturalism,
• French, German, Russian, and Chinese aid to radical Islamic regimes,
• the abandonment of the Constitution of 1789,
• government school monopoly,
• bilingualism,
• sham presidential primaries,
• Islam.
  

Not one of these issues will be mentioned in the present U.S. presidential campaign.
