Clinton's fault

Brent Bozell wants to see McCain's blueprint for rebuilding the infrastructure of our armed forces. An infrastructure damaged, according to Bozoell, not by launching an unnecessary and disastrous invasion and occupation of a country that did not threaten us so that Bin Laden could escape in that other war in another country.

No, that couldn't be it.

McCain must present a strategy to defeat the threat of radical Islam. He needs to call on the United States to rebuild its military infrastructure, so devastated by the Clinton administration. He should secure our borders by a date certain. In every great struggle, the citizenry -- everyone, not just the country's military -- has been challenged to participate. McCain could make this the clarion call for volunteerism, for national service.

That should be a great case for McCain to make. Fortunately for him, voters will stop laughing at his claims that "Don't ask don't tell" is responsible for the failure to adequately protect our troops against IEDs as soon as he mentions reinstating the draft...er..."national service."

But Brent's not done as the fever climbs to 103.

Our culture is decaying from within, and most Republicans have been shamefully AWOL on this issue. McCain could begin a national conversation about parents, not the state, taking responsibility for their children and their communities. He should call on the entertainment industry to stop polluting America's youth with its videos and its music and on the Internet. We wait to hear him call for the United States to honor the sanctity of life, the sanctity of marriage and family, and to return God to the public square.

Another great appeal to voters -- no YouTube for you! I'm sure that in the face of the undeniable rage and outrage McCain recently showered on a NY Times reporter when she caught him in a lie, the entertainment industry will immediately respond to McCranky's demand that they stop making, um, product?

But, really, Brent. Republicans AWOL on the issue of our "decaying culture?" That's unfair. They're just using the restroom.
