"They kept us safe"

How do they know that?

Right wing assholes ........ the same tired fucking bloviating points. They think if they say it louder it makes it truer.

Safe from what, assholes?

From what?

Cite me what they saved us from?

Seven wannabes in Miami?

A few guys talking?

What? What did they save us from?

5. Safe from unicorns raiding our refrigerators, apparently.

They fucked up royally with regards to 9/11, Katrina, and the economy, however.

6. safe from Katrina, safe from the worst economic meltdown in 75 years

and those episodes have already claimed more lost lives than 9/11.

7. There was no other attack like 9/11 in the U.S.

...after the first 9/11/01, that is, which they miserably failed at preventing. Miserably. Pathetically. Negligently.

So, there was no 2nd attack of the same scale as 9/11 in New York City, but there have been multiple attacks around the world ostensibly perpetrated by al-Queda since 9/11. And if you count all the crazed "lone" gunmen shooting up Virginia, or Pittsburgh, or California, etc., then, no, we're not that "safe" at all.

But it won't stop them from spouting it. They must "win" at all costs, and no amount of facts will stand in the way.

16. This is a great response to the statement.

"There are around 3,000 people that died in the WTC that would disagree with you." And walk away.

12. They sure didn't keep Americans safe from bankruptcy...

foreclosures, economic collapse, Enron, destroying The Constitution, Blackwater, Gas Gouging, Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, Anthrax, detainment, wire-tapping, etc, etc, etc. In other words, we weren't safe from the things that will really destroy our entire nation. They illegally tortured a few terrorists who are not a threat when we have a vigilant President and administration that actually does it's job. FUCK this piece of shit. When is he going to keel over and drop dead already???

18. Oh, pdb, but we knew what you meant.

He did read it, or had it read to him. I still believe they knew something was coming, but did nothing because they knew it would be their excuse to go to Iraq. I think they never thought it would be that big.

20. No asteroids, ICBMs, ...

Thank YOU So....So....Much, Bush and Cheney!

There were no asteroids, no ICBMs hitting us. There was no "I Am Legend" plague with vampire mutants. The things that didn't happen that Bush and Cheney deserve our thanks for is practically limitless. I personally did not have a heart attack, lose a finger in a power tool mishap, catch an embarrassing disease...

Thanks!

Thank you so much, Republicans! You saved America, and it was worth the cost. America.

21. If I locked you in a storage unit, and gave you bread & water

you "could" say I "protected" you and kept you "safe" from killer bees or from rampaging baboons..
:evilgrin:

and many parents have successfully "protected" their kids from monsters with this
