King on Face the NATION
You've got to love it--Congressman King is on Face the Nation, complaining about the president not using the word terrorist. As much as Obama has given in to their side, in so many ways, now they are faulting him because he's not crying terrorist at each turn.

Think the Republicans are quite aware that Obama has been quite compliant, and helpful to them by directly opposing his base? Come on Obama, they want you to keep on slapping your own side, the people who walked the streets for you, in the face.

Give it a rest. If there is one thing Obama has done right, if there is one thing we can all be relieved over, it is that we don't have to listen to that fake-cowboy idiot Bush all the time. Sadly, cheney is still out there croaking. Hopefully that won't be for much longer, though I'm sure when that final attack happens, we'll have to suffer through a long, interminalbe funeral that he doesn't deserve on television, honoring his terrible deeds that are so similar to what happened in Germany in WW 2.

1. Calling these people "terrorist" won't bring their victims back to life
Why do they act like it will, though?

2. It won't
stop these people from trying to blow stuff up, either.

Serious, King is an idiot if he really believes that if Obama just used the word "Terrorist" this shit wouldn't have happened.

I doubt, "I don't want to be called a terrorist so I think i'll just stay home and trim my toenails instead of taping these explosives to my underware." goes through the minds of these crazies.

3. You said that right
King is an idiot.

It is a way of thinking, the cowboy way, threatening, swaggaring, always wanting more and more violence. In my view, it's the wrong way, a way we've tried to abandon.

If there is one thing we've done wrong since WW 2, it is jumping into every chance to do violence, in one way or the other, for one reason or the other.

But the apparatus is always there to convince gullible Americans to jump in with both feet.
