48. The way to react to the "administration playing on fear" is NOT to
weakly give in to the idea that now we all have to be terrified of terrorists all the time.

Rather, it's to stand up courageously and say, "The Administration is just trying to play on fear, here. Here is how they are doing it.... They are trying to manipulate us." Then you proceed to denounce the criminal administration for trying to frighten people for political gain.

The Kerry Way (and it's the same for all the cowards that form the majority of the Democratic Party) is to CONCEDE the main premise of the administration -- ie, to give in to the idea that we all have to be VERY VERY SCARED, now, all the time. Once you've conceded that, you've already lost, because now you're playing on the turf invented by the liars & criminals.
