First of all, 'the terrorists haven't touched us since 9-11' is ridiculous. When was the previous foreign terrorist attack on civilians before that? 1993 WTC bombing killing 6. Yeah, that was a pretty crazy time before Bush got to office, so many foreign terrorists were bombing us constantly. The US is no more or less safe now than it was before.

To preempt a likely argument, there have actually been slightly MORE terrorist attacks (outside of Iraq) on the US military after 2001 than before. In fact, we're averaging just over one a year, whereas the previous 10 years or so, we had about one every 2 years.

So if you remove September 11th (dear god, no, where will the kneejerk reactions go!?) in the interest of this argument, the civilians of this country are about as safe now as then, and the military is more at risk.

Point: I am not anti-Republican because of some kind of bigotry. I am anti-republican because I disagree with every single idealogical difference between them and the democrats. To claim anyone has some kind of bigotry for political views is a little ridiculous, considering you can't make a post without bringing up how much you hate the Democrats...
