Maintain fear! Yes, because fear is precisely what will help to defeat TERRORISM...
I'm confused, isn't that what the terrorists would like to induce? Fear?

They can't be serious that terrorists are going to care what Dick Cheney says. The best way to handle Cheney is to ignore him, or maybe hand him a loaded shotgun and tell him that Bin Laden has invited him to go bird hunting—we'll provide the transportation.

No, the terrorists want to cause TERRORISM.
Thesauruses are a liberal conspiracy.

If there's a difference between Bush and Obama I haven't seen it. We're still wasting money on propaganda machines like the TSA rather than doing anything sensible and we're still protecting the criminals who should be tried and jailed for their involvement in war crimes and other crimes ranging from illegal wiretapping to unlawful imprisonment, torture, and so on. It's just more of the same shit. You really have to wonder what the birthers and other wingnuts have got against Obama - he's just like a tanned version of Dubbyah though undeniably more eloquent.

[5] Not finding fault with your TSA sentiments, I am rather curious upon considerations of "sensible" however.
