Fear mongering will backfire on cowardly conservatives

[DeBunk]

Did Lincoln tell the American people to fear the South? Did he tell them that Southerners were coming to their town to kill them? Did he try to make them afraid?

Did Washington tell his men the Brits were everywhere. Did he tell them how powerful the British are, that they could come and kill them any second.

FDR told us, "there is nothing to fear, but fear itself".

GWB's fear mongering is getting old. Americans don't like feeling powerless. It's backfiring. Americans don't want to hear how powerful and scary the enemy is. They want to hear about Osama dead.

1. Cowards = Old Women?

Careful there. Post-menopausal women are some of the most ass-kicking members of our species. You'd better take that back, or I'll send my grannie after you!

2. Intention is to shed real light on the lack of leadership

Sometimes the only thing douche bag conservatives understand is a culturally insensitive comment.

I'm trying to frame an argument in terms that even a mental midget can comprehend. Since these so called "macho men" are so freakin' scared out of their little tiny minds I thought we need to remind them that we live in the "home of the brave".

No offense to old ladies was intended.

3. Glad you clarified your remarks. I have a feeling that some other

"old ladies" were ready to join me in opening up a can of Kick-ass!

4. If I had it to post over again

I would have picked a better topic title.

5. There is a limited amount of time within which you can edit your post.

After that, all you can do is post a reply to the original post. Don't worry. We've all posted something we'd like to change but we waited too long to edit!

Welcome to DU! :hi:
