Does the Administration have an “enemy’s list”?.. The Labor Department issued an order banning children from doing farm work, but today had to reverse themselves. Does the Left have a clue how the middle of the country lives and thinks?… It’s one thing to lead from the rear, but it’s another thing not to lead at all. That’s what we’re doing in Syria. Nothing.

Prager H3: Marines are advancing women toward combat roles. Really? This is what we want women to do? Fight on the front lines? To what end? Sothat they can advance their careers? Is that what the Marines are all about? Career advancement? Thought it was about defeating the enemy… We have a great opportunity to get rid of a murdering dictator Assad in Syria, Assad. We’re blowing it. Badly.
