| 7. Also, show the left some respect by not trying to SELL it |

We aren't republicans, so words about 9/11, al-qaeda boogeymen, terrorists hate us because we are free, dead or alive, finish the job, will not change 1 person's mind.
The bloodthirsty chickenhawks of the center and right are ALREADY sold.
So show us some respect for once and don't attempt to sell it to us.
