  1. I am a progressive and I think it is critically important that NOT a extreme Progressive agenda OR an extreme Conservative agenda be followed/ It is really important to change the Islamic world or we will be at war with them forever and over time we will lose. I am totally for Bernie in domestic matters and what he says, but we can afford and must afford a continuing war on this barbarism - it is sickening that our world contains stuff like this. The agenda should be a two-way compromise between Conservatives and Progressives - fix what we need to fix at home, and do what we need to do abroad.

  2. Edward Solis > how do we change the Islamic world? Ultimately we do have to realize this is a war with an infantile, selfish, culture that has chosen willfully to do evil now that the world is electrified and we all know the score, we all know better, we all know that we all share this world together. So, the change is basically the same change we offer to ex-convicts, behave or be restrained from harming others.  Once that milestone of realization is reached, it becomes basically a war, a clash of wills. What is happening in the West in the last 50 years or so has been a cultural decline, otherwise we would not even be arguing this.  The parallel problem is - how does the West maintain its cultural hygiene as well?, and that question is almost as important.  It is clear that Islam, the ability to threaten people for what they say or think in a religious but any context - to try to co-exist with that is death for the West. As far as Israel, I let Israel figure out how best to deal with a deadly threat towards Israel, but the US ought to be far more allied than aloof with Israel, and Europe too.  The complaints of racism and prejudice are not the same as our grandfather's versions of racism. The idea of non-reformed Islam can erupt in any of these countries, it is an uncontrollable force once started because to defend against it always escalates to war.  Bottom line is bullets, it is up to the "criminal" whether the police has to shoot them or not, that is something simple we do not seem to understand.
