There are many. Here's one:
A false sense of insecurity? How does the risk of terrorism measure up against everyday dangers?For all the attention it evokes, terrorism actually causes rather little damage and the likelihood that any individual will become a victim in most places is microscopic. Those adept at hyperbole like to proclaim that we live in "the age of terror." However, while obviously deeply tragic for those directly involved, the number of people worldwide who die as a result of international terrorism is generally only a few hundred a year, tiny compared to the numbers who die in most civil wars or from automobile accidents. In fact, in almost all years, the total number of people worldwide who die at the hands of international terrorists anywhere in the world is not much more than the number who drown in bathtubs in the United States.
Until 2001, far fewer Americans were killed in any grouping of years by all forms of international terrorism than were killed by lightning, and almost none of those terrorist deaths occurred within the United States itself. Even with the September 11 attacks included in the count, the number of Americans killed by international terrorism since the late 1960s (which is when the State Department began counting) is about the same as the number of Americans killed over the same period by lightning, accident-causing deer, or severe allergic reaction to peanuts.
This argument shows a lack of reason and maturity.
How many people were killed by lightning strikes in the U.S. on 9/11/01 between 6AM and 8AM EST?
I'll answer for you - None.
Do you see a difference between victims of accidents and victims of murder?
Do you understand that you cannot compare the two?
Unless we quit driving we assume the risk of being killed in an accident. We accept that risk.
We should not have to accept the risk of being murdered by terrorists.
Unfortunately, creeps like Ron Paul increase this risk astronomically by being treasonous, terrorist codling bastards.
Yeah, that's right, I went there.

yawn
Yet another left wing meme, spewed forth by yet another dope-smoking moonbat Ron Paul supporter.
Yeah, you’re right. We should just sit back and relax until the Islamofascists have figured out how to turn New York City into a mushroom cloud. Until then, it’s not worth worrying about.
Your idol has publicly jumped the shark...
