Ed Koch commented the other day, "There is something terribly wrong with people seeking to demean and weaken the President in war time, thereby strengthening our country’s enemies."

Odd things are going on in our country, it seems. We have some people so anxious to get the president that they don't see beyond that goal, and others choose to believe that the people who have been trying to harm America since 1968 don't matter, are a nuisance, and we don't really need to be concerned about them.

Yet the evidence is that the people who want to hurt us really see themselves at war with the US and those who stand with her. They do want to believe that we are weak and unable to do what needs to be done.

One side or other will end up winning here.

Hopefully, we won't get caught staring at the trees while the forest burns down around us.
