"The greatest threat to our generation.."
The President said it again last night. Rick Santorum just quoted him on C-SPAN. Think about it. If this is the "greatest threat", why are we not mobilizing our military, reinstituting the draft, asking people for sacrifice? It's propaganda. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Their deeds do not match their fearful words.

1. Good point
You would think if it really is the greatest threat, the twins would be enlisting as well.

2. Unfortunately for them
I'm not scared enough to vote for any republican. I'm not an ignorant pliable lemming who thinks he knows what patriotism is.

The greatest threat to this and future generations is the republican party.

3. The best thing you can do to help the war effort is to shop
spend, spend, spend. Acquire more debt. If you don't, the terrorists win.

4. Yes, if this war is so damned important, why not?

The vast majority of the Bush supporters wouldn't be so gung ho to attack other countries if they actually had to make some sacrifices.
As opposed to just slapping a yellow ribbon on their cars.

Come to think of it, I haven't noticed as many of those lately.

5. Exactly, if it's the greatest threat, then
everyone should be making sacrifices. Taxes should be raised, the draft should be re-instated, rationing of commodities should occur. I wish there were people in the audience who could call them on their bullshit.

7. don't forget, their audiences are carefully pre-selected, and bound by
loyalty oaths NOT to call them on their bs.

6. Well, if it's just a threat to their generation
I say bring it on!

The sooner these me-generation partyboys turned religious creep die off, the better.
