Close the borders! Protect our sovereignty! Racial profile those terrorists! Arm the pilots! Who the hell are we letting into this country? Deport Illegal aliens! I’m going out and exercise my second amendment right and buy a gun!

Sure the Tony Blairs, Daschles, Kennedys, Leaheys and similar ilk are onboard to kill the terrorists, and the sooner the better. That way they can get back to undermining this country through socialism, and repair the damage done to their agenda by this intrusion of Muslim terrorists. When the terrorist threat abates the American flags will come down, and they can get back to their cancerous work on our constitution, and country. "

What I didn't anticipate then is how these socialists got so blinded by their hatred of Bush and this country they couln't even fake loyalty to this country. They just teed off on the President, and went into their blame America first mode.
