I hoped it wouldn't come to this, but I see that Nigel is touting the "America is safer" mantra. If that's the case, PROVE IT. You know, facts, reality, something tangible. How exactly are we safer?
The Republican standard answer is: There have been no terrorist attacks since America began its occupation of Iraq.
This argument totally sucks. Here's why: between 9-11 and the invasion of Iraq, about a year and a half, there were ZERO terrorist attacks on American soil. So exactly how has occupying Iraq made anything safer? It wasn't like Cleveland was bombed on 10-11 and then Miami got bombed a week after that and a pattern of bombings steadily occurred until the mighty Bush threw us into Iraq.
If that was the case, the Republican fear machine would have an argument.
Unfortunately, those plastic tigers are good at selling fear to suckers.
If Republicans feel so safe in America, why are their policies are guided by fear?
