I got older, and remembered that I didn't feel afraid
I remember the duck and cover. I, thankfully, was at the end of it, but I remember. We kids used to have to duck and cover. It was fun. It usually caused recess to happen next to allay our fears.

I'm not afraid of Iran, unless this shitheaded bunch of retarded disgustos decides to attack.

I'm not afraid of Iraq or Afghanistan. Other than the number of american soldiers who will be killed for no reason.

I'm not afraid of my own government.

Oops.

I lied.

I am.

Are you?

6. If things don't change in Nov and Congress doesn't start doing it's
oversight duties and if the MSM still covers for the misadministration we are really going to be in for a world of hurt. It should not take the Dems winning the House or Senate in November. The repukes in charge should stand up for the Constitution and for what is right and put a stop to this shit. The media should see what harm they are doing to the nation and become real journalists.

3. I am not afraid
of all of the terror threats and orange warnings or what ever but i am afraid of what our gov. might do in the next two years.

I recently read a book by a japanese citizen during ww2 and he tells that during the this time he was a teenager and getting bombed by the americans in tokyo or somewhere close, he wasn't mad at the americans bombing him he was mad at his gov. for making america bomb him.
what a crazy concept to realize that your government is wrong...
should we let the present situation pass as well?

7. What I am afraid of most...
is that people don't have sense enough to "fight". Most are happy for their tax cuts. That seems
to be the bottom line on most Repub boards I frequent. Don't question the government.

Am I better off than I was 6 years ago? Yes, I pay less tax. Therefore, everything is just fine.
