Purveyors of Fear

[kentuck]

Terrorism is a war of ideas which cannot be won with military hardware. Each moment that we live in fear is another moment we are losing the war. People expect fear and paranoia to come from Bush and the Repubs - it is their tickets to winning the next election. However, when and if the Democrats adopt the "fear" strategy and vow to fight terrorism under the same pretenses as the so-called Bush Doctrine, then we have lost the "war". It is over.

Our nation cannot continue to survive under such conditions. FDR was right to pronounce during the Great Depression that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself". Fear is a deadly enemy. When you permit yourself to be occupied by such an invisible enemy, then you have surrendered to those that would defeat you in spirit. Democrats must not succumb to the paranoia and fear of Bush and the Repubs. There must be another way.

1. I'm more afraid of pro-life zealots

than I am of terrorists.

Wait - I phrased that incorrectly. I am more afraid of pro-life terrorists than I am of foreign terrorists.

There. Forgot to call them what they are.

2. they are not pro-life

they are anti-choice. They don't mind killing anyone who disagrees with them. Their position is to deny women reproductive choice.

so, anti-choice terrorists would be the correct phrase.
