Our Mission |
Big government is not simply the size of the budget, or the number of federal programs; it is the role the federal government plays in our daily lives.
We at the Lincoln Heritage Institute will not sit idly by and allow bloated bureaucracies, budensome tax policies, a failing public education system, and out of control regulatory system, and a growing disregard for the rule of law to become an accepted way of life.
We have as our purpose, through public education, the revitalization and preservation of our traditional political, social, commercial, and legal environment in which the only limits to achievement are individual ability and effort. |

Americans Taking Terrorism Seriously |
|
by Neal Boortz, Nealz Nuze
According to a new poll, most Americans say terrorism should be taken very seriously. That’s good, but there’s only one problem. Every time we try to do something to stop terrorism, the appeasers react and send Democrats to Congress. Which means we’re not taking terrorism very seriously. So why the contradiction?
The answer is simple…most people lack the will to fight a protracted war against terrorism. If we can do it in a week…maybe a month, that’s fine. But if it is going to take years to bring the Islamic terrorists under control…Americans don’t have the patience for it. A lot of people can’t be convinced that some people are inherently evil. We like to buy the lie that most people are basically good and that if we were only nice to them or listened to their grievances, that they’ll be nice back to us. We try and domesticate Islamic terrorists…legitimize them by trying to negotiate with them. There’s only one problem: it doesn’t work.
The only way to fight terrorism is to fight terrorism. And the way you do that is by killing them before they kill us. It’s messy work, but somebody’s gotta do it. So while the polls may show that Americans take terrorism seriously, you have to wonder if they really do when the same poll shows such opposition to the war in Iraq, which is filled with Islamic terrorists.
People can’t have it both ways…you can’t be against terrorism and for the terrorist. That’s John Kerry's job.
