The common thread in all the right-wing rhetoric is FEAR! Yes, 9/11 shook us all to the core and all of this talk of FEAR is exactly what they (the real enemy) wanted. THEY (Al-Qaeda) changed the rules of the game -- and you're playing by them! And in case you don't think I have a dog in this fight, my step-son was in the third tower of the World Trade Center that collapsed. Thank God, everyone was evacuated by that time.
President Obama didn't sneak in the backdoor of the White House. He was voted in by the majority! The majority of Americans do not fear him or his administration. Do we have the right to critique, be watchful, ask questions??? Of course we do! But, these ridiculous smear fear campaigns fueled by the likes of Beck, Limbaugh and Fox Noise is beyond comprehension.
We are not the only game in town... and guess what....right now, we are not the best game in town! But I know we can be! I will support my President, my country, and our fighting forces with every fiber of my being.
Don't play into the real enemy's hands. Try taking the word fear out of your vocabulary and replacing it with support. Show a united front. The world is watching.

I wont even comment on your continuing worry and angst over what the rest of the world thinks...will just say that I dont care what they think of this country...they are surely not my model for what I want to be !!!
I might add that despite your protestations about our country, I still consider us the best....
not sure who you think is the best game in town !! I would assume your feeling that this country is not the best is fueled by our current administration !
You keep mentioning fear which is the common chant among Democrats....we should not live in fear and that the right is selling fear. I cannot disagree more.....fear is surely part of it...fear is a natural reaction,,if you read you will find that it is a natural human reaction to events, NOT as you suggest an unnatural feeling.
NOW...living
IN fear is different, and nobody that I have ever heard of or listened to or read even suggests that although folks like you will always make that case.
What I feel and read and know is that if you know someone want to hurt you (in this case KILL), and they have already been successful and they spend their entire life on one thing....KILLING YOU. Well, it seems to me that you should be at least AWARE of that and allow that to enter into your thinking, instead of reckless abandon like a teenager who feels untouchable. That would be foolish !
