Charity no match for evil enemies

I am really getting worried that our country will soon be no more.

When I read letters from well-meaning pacifists like “Government needs to learn from Gates” in Friday’s paper, which says that if our government spent its dollars on charity like Bill and Melinda Gates do, instead of on bombs, guns and war, everything would be wonderful? Wonderful? No it wouldn’t.

You and your family would be dead or enslaved. Think about it. Our enemies are not rational, nice folks. They are murderous bastards intent on one thing. Killing all of us. And the more gruesome the way they do it, so much the better in their eyes.

I wonder if we have become too weak to survive in a world where a man’s survival must depend on his primitive animal.
