Terror Rhetoric vs Real Terror

What's the deal with overhyping the terror card with using words such as 'Nazi', 'Hitler' and 'Stalin?'. Has the Bush administration gotten so spooked over the latest polls that they have resorted to hyper-dramatization?

Its funny how this administration talks about 'Islamofascism' and its threat to democracy. This is a regime that came to power thwarting the will of the people by having a GOP controlled Supreme Court cancel a legal recount in 2000; calls any and all 'media' that criticizes it 'aiding the enemy; calls anyone who challenges the neo-con vision as 'appeasers' and more than half of the American electorate as 'not getting it'.

While they argue about being the 'only ones' who can protect us from terror and save democracy and 'freedom' this is a regime that illegally wiretaps citizen's phones, has a bill signing 'disclaimer' that it won't abide by any law that Congress passes if Fuhrer Bush thinks he knows a better way to keep us safe even if it violates the law. Meanwhile, Osama Bin Laden is back on the President's agenda again, since back in 2002, he said he 'didn't think much' of the mass murderer. So much so, in fact, the CIA has disbanded the group that was dedicated to capturing him.

And meanwhile, 4000 illegal aliens will invade this country today alone. While most of them are honest people just looking for a better way of life, how many of these are Al Queda sympathizers?

We were led to believe, and they'd like you to continue to believe, that the war in Iraq was not 'Operation Avenge Daddy', but a main leg of the war on terror. The idea was to fight them over there rather than here would prevent terror at home. Tell that to the Spanish and British troops who fought along side the Americans and look at the subway bombings in London and Madrid. Has worldwide terror abated as a result? There have been bombings in India, Indonesia (twice), Egypt, Spain and Britain. Time for a new approach, since all Iraq has become is a testing ground and recruitment center for more terrorists.


Meanwhile, there has been a different kind of horror. Yesterday at a bed and breakfast in a ski-resort area in Newrie, Maine, the chef at the establishment killed the owner, her mother, killed a male guest then took his body out back and hacked it to pieces. When two female guests arrived to check on things, he killed them, too. He also killed 3 dogs on the property.

At his arraingment, the guy showed no remorese whatsoever. He even smirked.

Maine is one of those places that people go to to escape the horrors of the real world and I thoroughly enjoyed my sojourn there three weeks ago. Neighbors said the cook was 'quiet' and they would never have suspected him of being capable of such a crime.

No THATS terror.
