Not Backing Down


I've always liked former V.P. Cheney. He sees the world as it is, not as Pollyannaish "hope and change" liberals tend to. In a hard-hitting interview with Politico, he proves that he is not about to fade into the past as he issues a firm warning that our enemies are still out there, while chiding Obama's early moves as president.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry. ...The United States needs to be not so much loved as it needs to be respected. Sometimes, that requires us to take actions that generate controversy. I’m not at all sure that that’s what the Obama administration believes.” -Dick Cheney
