Are you safer now that Sadam Hussein is no longer in power?
Please feel free to give your constitution hating conservative acquaintances a colonsocopy with a rolled up copy of that question. I guess there is no shame in republican circles for destroying a mighty Army (ours) or destroying a once thriving economy (ours). Gosh I wish I were an ignorant conservative moron who must rely on talk radio and faux news to know what to think. NOT!

1. No way!
I currently feel more unsafe due to all the stupid things done by this administration.

5. Malmapus, why do you hate America?
Don't you know that our great leader has a plan. He's gotta a countdown calendar in the oval office, counting down the days till he's out of dodge. Fuck this responsibility stuff. The liberals are gonna fuck me hard with the truth and probably sooner than later. But Malmapus please stop beating around and alongside and up and down the bush.

God Bless you My Fellow American.

3. Ya see, he gassed his own people ya see (our gas, our encouragement).
"I don't have a heart for somebody that starves his folks." - Did we ever see starving people paraded across the tube by fox? - if there were any, we damn well would have seen them 24/7.


They wanted Saddam out, but not because he posed any threat.

4. We are all safer now that Saddam is no longer in power
Of course we are safer! Now that Saddam is off his throne, I cannot be mugged. Teenagers cannot roll my front yard with toilet paper. I cannot have a traffic accident. Terrorists cannot even think about attacking America. I cannot slip and fall and knock my head on the furniture. I can't cut myself in the kitchen. I cannot be harmed in any way shape of fashion! I am the Lizard King now that Saddam is in a jail cell! All things are now perfect in America and I am guaranteed to live forever and to ascend to the right hand of the father to judge the quick and the dead! People can't even think mean thoughts about me! I am the most ultimatest excellentest awesome guy in the universe.

Except that gas is going for $3 a gallon. That really irks me. I thought we were supposed to get cheap gas out of this deal.

11. Which Saddam, Reagan's, Rumsfeld's or Bush's?
Stops 'em every time. Don't fall for their simple, silly, shallow and simplistic question. One bumper stick deserves another.


Bush Lied. People Died. Media Cheered.

12. Hell Fucking NO!!
If anything we're less safe. Even if we ignore that the millions of Muslims that used to only despise us now hate us, there are all the friends of the Iraqis we've killed who have even more reason to hate us. We're in deep shit.

16. Until enough soldiers are in Iraq to keep the peace - not. Once enough
soldiers are there... yes. The people of Iraq are safer. Those sons were even creepier than "Dad".

19. I live in the sticks and own a gun.
I always feel safe. But my altruistic fellow Red Staters wanted to make sure that you in NYC, LA etc are safe don't you know? My fellow sticks-dwellers decided that you need W in the WH to keep you safe.

Nevermind that the most likely terrorist target areas voted for Kerry. We in the sticks who have no terrorist worries know what is best for your protection. Thank us for your safety NOW!!:sarcasm:

20. There will never be enough soldiers. Because the neocons planned
the war in a hubristic & utopian way. Now they pony up to "democracy" as a way out. They are wrong. That has been proven. Let us hope for some peace of some sort in Iraq soon.

21. Forget it!
You can forget it. No way! In fact LOT more people was killed than when Saddam were in power. There are no reasons why people are killing each other.
