If this Washington Times op-ed is any indication:
The Hamas victory in Gaza is a warning that World War IV (as Norman Podhoretz has called it) is going to be long and hard. It is also a warning that the West is currently losing that war.Never mind the childishness of the "World War IV" thing. Is this what Newt's new organization is blowing its money on? Have they polled the number of Americans who are against bad stuff? What about the number who support happy things? Those results should be pretty telling, I'd imagine.
These defeats are not a function of the courage and will of the American people. In a June poll sponsored by American Solutions, 85 percent of the American people said it was important to defend America and its allies. Only 10 percent were opposed. On an even stronger question, 75 percent said it was important to defeat America's enemies. Only 16 percent disagreed.
So the hard left in America is only 16 percent. It is outnumbered almost 5-1 by those who would defeat our enemies.
