No, the title of this piece is not intended to merely be an attention-grabber; I really, really mean it. I have written a lot of things over the years, and I have (and continue to) felt very strongly about a lot of things. ...
Some of my friends on the right can be excused for wishing that Romney had gone for the throat tonight. Obama practically begged him to on the Libya debacle, and yet Romney didn't take the bait, providing measured, competent, intelligent, reasonable, and dare I...
