Americans aren't afraid enough. And that is something to be afraid of.

[Atman]

In this morning's paper there was a poll indicating that "Terrorism" is the LOWEST priority issue among most Americans, just 2% of whom call it a "high priority" for Congress to be addressing. Terrorism ranks dead last behind Defense/military (3%), Education (3%), Immigration (6%), Health care (7%), Economy and jobs (7%), and finally, of course IRAQ at 45%.

And how has BushCo (A Halliburton Company)TM, managed to get what it wants since the hostile takeover of 2000? FEAR. TERRA!

But, Americans aren't afraid. In fact, Americans appear more afraid of the madman in the Oval Office than of any shadowy threats from Bush's boogymen. And that is something we should all be very afraid of. Because if the CEO of BushCo has taught us anything, it is that he never learns, and he goes back to the same well over and over again. Cheney is down in the R&D department right now cooking up a new campaign to make us FEAR again, so that they can launch their new, improved iFascism v2.

The only thing we have to fear are the fearmongers themselves.

1. Snowjob actually said 'Americans need to be reminded

every once in a while'. IIRC, it was this past Tuesday.

2. When our fear in our president and vice-president exceeds the fear

of terrorists...boy, we're there, aren't we?

3. It's not that . . .

It's just that we're not afraid of the things that matter. Shark attacks, Orange Alerts and TERRA TERRA TERRA are not among them.

4. OK - the good news is that the numbers indicate that Fear of terrorism is low -

and fear of our misleaders is high. That's good news because they got into office by playing the fear card..so this has gone in the right direction. Now Congress has to act on this - they have to catch up with the public and realize that this opens the door to criminal investigations, impeachment, etc. Come on, Harry and Nancy! Use your new political capital! Throw the bums out!

5. When the greatest threat to America and its people is its own government.........

'WE' have got a serious problem. Better push extra hard to insure that the voting equipment integrity is beyond hacking and tampering; the neocons are NOT going to want to give up their dictatorship position in the WH.
