Make some harsh decisions on Mideast

Why do we continue to think that throwing billions to people who hate us will somehow change them?

Why do we continue to trust people who have made it clear that they will never trust us?

Why did the election in Egypt, installing the Muslim Brotherhood as the leaders, sound so good to the Obama crew?

We need to make harsh decisions regarding the Middle East. We need to accept the fact that we will never change the minds of radical Muslims and their warped view on life itself.

We need to cut off all money going to the same countries that have demonstrated such disregard for America. We need to cancel all visitor and student visas for anyone from those countries. We need to stop all exports of goods to those countries and encourage other counties to follow our lead.

The fear of gas prices going up is no reason to allow these people to kill Americas. Let the gas go to $10 a gallon or more. We will endure. Stop the export of U.S. gas and petroleum products. Lower the taxes on U.S. gas and allow Americans to share the burden of war. Encourage Americas to post their views on the radical Muslims on social media. It's time that the radical world know that we do not fear them — we fear what we might do to them when it comes to our survival.

Many people in government have made it unbearable for Americans. This is not just a Republican or Democrat problem — it's an American problem. We, as a people, have allowed the political machine to shaft us as well as put us in harm's way with their flawed foreign policy. It's time this stops and it's time we, the people, take our country back and put these very politicians out on their butts.
