So are we still on the verge of a major attack in the Homeland?
Just want to make sure I'm being vigilant to the appropriate degree.

I hate it as well.

I picture having to salute when I hear it.

I can't remember how I felt about the term before.

23. me too
I despise that nazi term 'homeland' give me a break no one will ever hear me utter that propaganda piece of crap word those dirty Neo Cons sneaked that filthy word into our country's vocabulary. I scream whenever I hear a democrat use that dirty vile word! I should do more and write each and everyone of them a letter when I hear them utter that word.....got some stamps ;) I'm going to need a lot of em'
Why the hell did the Democrats fall for using that word? They should of had the good sense to say 'The United States of America' after all didn't *Bush say he wanted to be a uniter not a divider? {sarcasm}

I hate that term "Homeland" too. Sounds too much like Nazi Germany's "Fatherland."

What happens when you live in a PURPLE state under a YELLOW alert? *gaaa* I'm so confused :dunce:

14. Yep, they showed the terrorist where to strike on 60 Minutes last night.
Almost any chemical plant will do as their security is lax. Some have extremely toxic chemicals like sulfuric acid and chlorine gas available for the spilling and bombing.

27. Excellent point. They'll dress up, commit the crime, and
try to point to the least favored minority group of the day to start the battle.

28. Unclear Power Plant?
Very funny. Does that mean they are unclear about what it is? Still, I prefer "unclear" to Nookyular any day

25. An attack of ennui over the endless energy dissipated in trying to scare
us.

The one thing that scares me most is the thought of another 4 years with Bush.

Is there a color code for that? Code Brown Stain?
