It seems the rest of the Generation Y crew has weighed in on this, so I figured I'd put in my two cents. My experience is more like Michael's than Kathleen's.  Islamist terrorism was a real issue in the world grew up in.  It was something...

In a post at NRO, praising Romney without bashing other Republican candidates: But he’s not only a family man, he is a man of principle. He believes in the bedrock conservative ideals of limited government and free enterprise. He will stand up for America’s allies when they...
