    "Our adversaries are not standing still, and so even though we have an advantage and we have a lead, we can't sit on our lead," Breckenridge told a hearing of the House Armed Services seapower subcommittee.

    Our current corrupt and dishonest administration is determined to make the United States a secondary power, and are succeeding at their mission quite effectively. They think the world will join hands and sing "Kumbaya" if the U.S. will "stop being the aggressor and lay down our arms" when the reality is, when we lay down our arms -- as this pretentious fool occupying the White House is doing as we speak -- we will be overrun by the barbarian hordes.
