Allow me to be the first to reach across the aisle...
and smack the republics in the head.

Stop acting like cowards! There are no terrorists hiding behind trees!

The "war" on terror will be won by good old-fashioned police work, vigilance, and diplomacy. Also, let's get this Israel/Palestine abortion fixed and you'll be amazed at how much the rhetoric tones down.

Bring the National Guard troops home from Iraq to guard the borders, and stop hyperventilating.

I'm ready for flying cars, not holy wars. I'm a Progressive.

Over.

2. And let's tell them that America is a great country...
if England survived the IRA and other countries survived their bouts of terrorism then America certainly will....

England figured out a way to deal with it and we will too..

3. I want a flying car, too!
(I love those commercials.)

Ruling through fear does not work--we need to prove that to the world. The time for "Dennis Miller Disease" is over.

Time for the Dems to step up to the plate and show the world what we're made of.

Oh, and smack those jackasses that call us the "Democrat Party" upside the head repeatedly.

6. I just watched hannity wave his finger at the TV camera and say
The President is right on the war on terror, and the Democrats better not do anything...etc
Fear mongering.

There are more things to be afraid of, terrorism is WAY down the list.
All the money and effort going into this so-called "war" could be going to humanitarian efforts, or if you want to be really conservative, the money could be SAVED.

8. I don't know what it's going to take to stop people from being afraid,
but we've got to do it somehow. I'm afraid there are some many idiots in the world that don't want progressives to succeed that we may have our work really cut out for us.

I am hopeful, however, that we can do this. We have worked far too hard to get this far to let it fall apart in our hands.
