I hear a lot of people saying that we are "safer". Guys, we aren't safe now, we have never been "safe". It is a dark, dangerous world and there will always be those with the will to try to do damage to our country and to Americans. But, they may lack the resources, for the moment; or they may lack the means, for the moment. You just can't kill or imprison them all. You can't befriend them all either.
You have to do your intelligence, do your due diligence and be aware. Use your resources wisely.

As Americans, we always want to act and get immediate results. Most of the other cultures aren't like ours. They are willing to wait. They understand that time is on their side. They believe that the battle will turn in their favor.

All this discussion about whether Dems or Republicans are keeping us "safer" is pointless. Safety is just an illusion. We're got to learn to live with our vulnerability as long as we want to be a free principled society. Otherwise we should lock down our borders and not let anyone in.
