I am so embarrassed for the American people...

they they have been so spineless and so reactive to the fear card played by this Administration. Like Al Gore asked the other day, do people think we are more threatened now than when we had 10,000 nuclear missiles pointed at us? Are we more threatened now than when the world was threatened by the fascism of two World Wars? Why are the American people now willing to give up their freedoms from such a threat as Osama bin Laden and the "terrorists"? It is insane. I never knew the American people were such chicken shits. It is embarrassing to be called an American alongside these people.

It was very Roosevelt-esque, The only thing to fear is fear itself. We have been in much hotter water.

CNNi directed it's viewing audience to one just minutes after doing the OBL tape story. MSNBC has one. I'd bet CNN US Edition has one too.

"are you more afraid now? - more worried about security?" or some other variation that helps keep the fear alive.

Disgusting

who BELIEVE their president, twice elected by the majority. Al Gore is an elitist who thinks his group (DEMS) can deceive us, by lying and bending the truth about our president's galliant sacrafices and our loyal troops' sacrificing their all for democracy and freedom for all the world's oppressed people.

Thank you for you support and naivate.

or preceived safety since the odds of anything happening to them is way way out there, (both democrats on this board and repugs alike), are willing to allow shoot to kill then ask with our fellowman,..... just a wow. what a coward you are. from here on out any gun pointed at any of us, assume they will shoot to kill. and our society is what allowed and created that. for what????? how unsafe are we? i am not seeing people here dropping like flies,..... or unless it is the one being killed, because of others fears.

What is the only thing likely to save these Rethugs in November. Fear and another attack. They will keep fear on the agenda for as long as possible. Why are you surprised that a sudden Osama tape shows up..the pressure in on them re scandals, and spying.
This time they must not get away with it.

Whatever happened to the "American bad ass"persona? Wasn't there a time when Americans would have said let's fight them over here so we don't have to fight them over there?

As soon as the franchise is restored so that the American people can actually get the people they vote for into office to represent their "real" values, they won't be thought to be so easily manipulated. As things now stand, since we don't have a democracy, the will of the people is not reflected in the leadership.

You may be confusing the American government, which at present is pretty clearly criminal, with the American people who are trying hard to express their opinions and their beliefs but are not being allowed to by the corporations that build and program the voting machines as well as the people who are "in" on the back doors that allow the central tabulators, etc. to be hacked or patched or otherwise rigged in favor of the candidate or issue that is maybe even reprehensible in the eyes of "the American people."

Clear as day.

about him"
Pres. Bush hiseff

...is haunted by guilt and guilt breeds fear of retribution and punishment. Too much has been denied, the genocide of native peoples, the monumental evil of slavery, the atomic annihilation of the Japanese. And through it all politicians have told the american people they are the greatest on earth, the world's best hope. Eventually the disconnect catches up. The chickens come home to roost.
