#70 Papa Ray:

Well said. Short of all-out apocalyptic or police-state measures, all other forms of ideological combat with the enemies depend on what you (and I above) recommend: our lives and that of our Republic as a whole must make what we say against Islam at least plausible as an alternative. Still greater force is acquired when our society makes our claims to moral superiority not only plausible but probable. No republic will stand for long if the slide you describe continues for long.
