It's not a war on terror!!!
It's a war on personal freedoms! Keep that in mind at all times.

1. a war on a noun signifying a fearful emotion?
you realize they hate us for our freedoms, therefore when the Bushistas finish removing ours from our society, they won't hate us anymore.

3. Well, some seem to be in terror of the personal freedoms of others.
How else can one explain the palpable fright that someone might actually want to marry another person of the same sex? It brings to mind an old definition of "conservative": a person who lives in mortal fear that someone else, somewhere, might be having fun.

4. Exactly - neocons are the most paranoid group on the planet.
I'm convinced that they're not really people either.

5. Hear, hear!
Hence one of my sticker designs:



From the last page of Greg Palast's Armed Madhouse:
When they take away your Social Security and overtime and tell you sleeper cells are sleeping under your staircase, you don't take a chance, you lose your chance, and the land of opportunity becomes a landscape of fear and suspicion, an armed madhouse.
