Poll question: Which are you more concerned about
Edited on Fri Dec-30-05 09:43 AM by Walt Starr
Are your more concerned about cowardly terrorists who are too chickenshit to show their faces and fight in the open or are you more concerned about a tin-horn dictator wannabe president who is trying to seize more and more powers while shitting on the constitution?

2. I'm not afraid of either one of them.
I just don't do the fear thing.

Which pisses me off more? Choice 2.

3. I am not afraid of either Walt Starr! Just no sense of fear I guess,
because common sense would tell anyone that would listen that this son-of-a-bitch is the most dangerous man on earth.

8. Put me down for not being afraid of either.
Edited on Fri Dec-30-05 09:40 AM by tx_dem41
I wish that had been a choice as well. It just feeds into the stereotype around here that we have to be afraid and helpless in the face of either an outside threat, or an "all-powerful BFEE" (which doesn't exist BTW).

12. Well...I'm concerned about both then. And I am NOT a
"Sheeple". Is it not possible to be concerned about both in your eyes?

13. The question is, which are you MORE concerned about
Edited on Fri Dec-30-05 10:30 AM by Walt Starr
and the answer tells me all I need to know.

They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.

24. I'm concerned about both and don't buy into the Bush framework
that you can have one and not the other. I don't believe that Franklin bought into that framework either. If you want to play on Bush's field, be my guest. I don't.

15. I am concerned about both
I have more of a responsibility to confront the Bush Administration's bullshit, of course, but I am concerned about both.

And, boy do I think it's irresponsible to pretend that Terrorism isn't a problem just because we can score some political points that way.

18. Drugs are a problem. Theft is a problem. Abuse is a problem.
Mass murderers are a problem.

Rapists are a problem.

None of these problems are woirth giving up a single whit of freedom over, however.

They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.

20. I'd agree with you
But that's not what your poll said, exactly? Rather it posited terrorism is a non-problem compared to Bush's surveillance which is a big problem.

If you weren't a Sheeple, You'd think just like me, damn it!

Anybody who disagress with me must be a secret Freeper. Therefore it's painfully clear, that the original poster is simply a Freeper shill, here to espouse views I don't like, and also to promote division among Democratuc Undergrounds.

What could be clearer? Questioning me and my opinion is all the proof I need!

Frankly there are so many Freeper Shills and Sheeple on this website who have outed themselves biy disagreeing with me, that perhaps this should be called Freeple Sheeple Underground!

After all it's impossible for anybody to disagree with me and not be a Freeple.

I hope this makes life simple for all you simpletons. Agree with me and you are a fine outstanding member of this community. Disagree with me and you are a freeple sheeple!

Simple.

Oh, and this is intended as sarcastic for those of you unable to put one and one together.
