What are the odds of a Red State getting hit this time? |
|

I think that if we have another 9/11 they will target the red states.
That's my 2 cents.

1. Nope. Big Blue New York will get it right between the eyes |
|
and they'll feel so fucking sorry for us that they'll elect Bush Emperor for Life just to make sure it never happens again.

2. red areas don't get hit because there aren't many people there |
|
the reason new york was hit, and especially the towers was because it was very populated. the purpose of the attacks was to kill as many people as they could. that's why Al Qaeda planned the attack at the LAX in 2000, but the clinton administration was able to prevent that attack and catch the person with the explosives before they went off.

4. NONE. That is what Bush* won on in part... |
|
All of us in Texas are safe! I know this because I hear it constantly. God and those "terrible Arabs" (this is the clean version I'm quoting) hit terrible NYC "for a *reason*"
According to popular wisdom here, they won't hit (say) Kansas because "they know that GWBush will *really* go after them"
See, you have to understand, as a group, *we* are move valuable to both God and his handpicked-Republican-Overlord.
Just thought I'd fill you in. God knows I'm "filled in" on this stuff on an hourly basis here and my workplace is considered to be "liberal" in this area. ha.

that none of the locations in America likely to be attacked went for Bush. For those in the "heartland" - it just doesn't freakin' matter.

9. Oh, they feel really really sort of sorry for you though |
|
in an abstract way. Lots of NYPD and NYFD hats around here. Lots of crying eagle graphics on shirts (hideously hilarious) and LOTS of desire to avenge WTC victims by killing as many A-rabs as possible.
But, there is no real "heart" in the "heartland" None.
I thought there was but the last 48 horrific hours listening to stuff on tv, at work and out in public places has cured me of that.
BTW, her is the dreamlist I've compiled---thinks I've heard more than 3 times as hoped for goals: a. end abortion and criminalize it b. end gays (I didn't get the details but the odd phrase was repeated) c. end affirmative action d. end birth control e. encourage women to go back to the home (mainly it seems to be what will raise men's pay and end all unemployment problems f. drill *wherever* for oil because we need it g. make Canada stop criticizing us and invade Cuba
That is the local western Texas "dreamlist"---I've heard all of these over and over and over again. A lot of other anti-immigrant stuff is constant so I didn't add that.

6. Could be Florida during tourists season |
|
Didn't they have something about Florida being an easy target for a missile attack? Another perk for them would be Jeb Bush.

I'm a firm believer in LIHOP. They'll only let a hit on a blue area happen.

13. that would defeat the purpose of the attacks |
|
why would the terrorists want to wake up Red America, its closest allies inside the U.S.?
