Paragigm shifts. Real inconvenient aren't they? We are a nation at war. And the intelligence data readily available from the Boston Bomb hoax is very real. Its a gold mine for anyone wanting to plant bombs in Boston.
Actually you are the one who needs a bunker. You will be in need of one cause you won't be even "mind ready" about two years after the Dems win the presidency in 2008, let alone able to defend yourself or your neigborhood.
Then the drills will be for real. And these days we now enjoy will seem unfortunately idyllic by comparison.
Good Luck.
The data is that Americans have become terrified. If I was a terrorist, sitting back watching Americans crucify two children to soothe their paranoia, I'd be pretty content that America was defeated.
You remember right, the point of terrorism is to get people to live in fear? To destroy freedom through fear?
There's no security, only an illusion. If it isn't a publicly placed bomb, it could be a natural disaster or a transportation disaster. If not that, we have enemies with ICBMs and nuclear weapons enough to obliterate the whole world. If that isn't enough to be scared of, we live on a rapidly spinning ball of molten rock hurtling through a galactic pinball machine.
Why live in fear? We all live on the edge of obliteration every day.
Sure, preparation is different than fear, but is there anything that makes a jihadi scarier than simply living on a giant ball of lava? Nah, life is scary enough. Forget the fools who want to manipulate you by reminding you. Stop inflating criminal sentences against American citizens who cause a panic among the sheep - especially sheep in Boston that freaked out more than nine other cities combined.
This SHOULD be a thread about chicken-littles; INSTEAD, we have "conservatives" screaming for blood. We need to conquer our fear, not punish children for reminding us of how scared we have become.
