Apologies in advance. I saw this the other day and couldn't resist repeating it. Q: Do you know how to tell the difference between an extremist Muslim and a moderate Muslim? A: The extremist Muslim wants to kill you. The moderate Muslim wants the extremist Muslim to kill you.

As to the "peace loving muslims" my impression is this (and it is strongly influenced by the Middle Eastern warlords who are more than willing to switch sides in a fight if the price is right). They really don't care who wins. If the jihadis win, then they're lifestyle will be much as it as been for the past 1,000 years - no big deal, they're used to it. If the Americans win, then they'll have a few more freedoms, not a bad result. So, the peace loving muslims are not going to risk the blowback from snitching on their jihadi bretheren, they'll be content to fall in line behind whoever ultimately prevails. Not particulalry a courageous stance.

"What would motivate two young Muslims to blow up innocent men, women, and children? What did America do to deserve such an outpouring of irrational, blind hatred?" What a great question to ask President Obama with regard to his buddies, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

Tex - I'm not particularly interested in how the CIA operates in the field and that information should remain classified. However, I am very interested in who in the administration ordered the military to stand-down while our guys were under prolonged attack. Unlike the current administration, I don't consider our overseas personnel to be disposable.

I do have a short barreled, semi-automatic, 12 gauge shotgun - the ultimate in home defense. Too bad I won't be able to use it if Feinstein has her way - it has a pistol grip and that would be just too scary for an intruder and too many United States Senators :(

I recently read an article by a French soldier who served in Iraq. He was truly amazed by the contrast in French and American tactics. He said that in the absence of clear orders, French soldiers hunker down and wait. Conversely, American soldiers, in the absence of clear orders, generally elect to attack. Must be something in the genes.

It's too bad that President Obama didn't share that same "run to the fire" mentality during the attack on our personnel in Benghazi. Perhaps they didn't teach that in Indonesia.

Hypocrites. Anyone who makes a decision to not cover a story because the coverage would damage his political allies is not a real journalist. Such a mindset deservedly calls into question the accuracy of the person's reporting in general, and in particular with regard to any subject matter with which he identifies.

Given recent statistics showing the explosion of unwed mothers, are we seeing the first overt conversation about the community (i.e., the government) taking over the traditional role of fathers. If the baby daddy isn't around, someone's got to fill that role. In a slightly different vein, the half of us who pay taxes already seem to be involved in the support of may of these kids. If that's going to continue to be the case, I want some say in what they do, where they go, who they associate with, etc. If I'm going to be stuck with the financial burden, I want some input.

"But no matter, now the myth is out there...and conservatives will cling to it to the bitter end." Kind of like when liberals claimed Sarah Palin could see Russia from her back yard (you do realize that Tina Fey is the one that said that, right)? Or when Pailin's crosshairs caused Gabby Gifford to get shot . . . Or when Romney murdered a woman, or evaded his federal income taxes . . .
