We are in a new Civil War, and just like the last, it is a struggle for the sanctity of the Union - and it's hardly civil.
For far too long we've allowed the other side to paint us as racist, as sexist, inhumane war mongers - well, today as a conservative black Republican and former soldier, I'm here to set that record straight.
As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.
