If the unthinking masses would have only listened to that 2% of the electorate you denigrate, this tragic incident would never have occurred. First of all, those who have long been concerned about the massive numbers of immigrants, both legal and illegal, in America, could have told you that permitting huge numbers of people whose possible ties to fanatical terrorist organizations would become especially difficult to detect due to the increased numbers of completely law abiding immigrants with whom they shared both physical and cultural characteristics, was probably not a good idea. But then anyone in that "kooky" 2% who advocate such things is either "xenophobic" or "racist," or some other leftist-inspired label, and certainly isn't welcome in the Stupid Party. Anyone who has the capacity for thought must realize that terrorism exists because the people who have resorted to it don't have more conventional and, until recently, far more effective weapons at their disposal. Terrorists hate us because of our unswavering support of Israel-who has treated their muslim neighbors with an iron and unjust hand-and because of our redneck style, playground bully foreign policy. Do you think that followers of Islam-even the most fanatical of them-didn't become angry over the thousands of innocent civilians killed by our saturation bombing of that tiny country over the last decade? Do you think they didn't feel something akin to what all Americans feel now, as they stare in amazement at the pile of rubble and body parts that used to be the WTC, when they wandered the streets of Iraq (or Libya, or the Sudan, etc.) and found similar piles of rubble, with their own loved ones buried underneath? There is a motive for everything; if you wish to believe the absurd notion that is being pushed by our own corrupt and incompetent leaders that the Islam world hates us because "we represent freedom," then you are swallowing a suggestion that there is a large number of people in the world who are opposed to the concept of freedom. If you're that naive and gullible, you definitely shouldn't be questioning the wisdom of the only people in America concerned about the underlying causes of terrorism, and the Stupid Party is probably the appropriate place for you.

You believe this and you think that I'm the one who belongs to the "stupid party", eh?? ROFL!!! Let's just leave it at the following: I think that we're both in the appropriate parties!
