As I was reminded that I couldn’t bring back any bottles of wine or perfume on my trip home from Europe – something – the Europeans have yet to grow alarmed about it ocurred to me that the only thing Republicans have is – fear itself.
They don’t have good fiscal policy.
They don’t have military planning skills.
They are crumby environmentalists.
They have a narrow social policy.
Nope. All they’ve got is terrorism – fear itself.
Even in 2001 a lot more Americans died because of drunk driving than were killed by terrorists and Americans didn’t get their undies in a bunch about that. Its just one of the risks of the freedom some people abuse to drink alcoholic beverages. Anyone suggesting to amend the Bill of Rights to protect us from drunk drivers would be hooted out of office.
Now, except for Republican Senators John McCain and ex JAG lawyer Lindsey Graham, the Republican Congress is trying to deprive funny talking, brown skinned people of their right not to be tortured because all the Republicans have to campaign on is fear itself. Even the Democrats in Congress are hiding behind McCain and Graham for fear of not looking tough on terrorism.
FDR is rolling in his grave.
