Using the word terrorism just illustrates how out of touch someone is when referring to the various agendas in congress. Greedy perhaps, jaded sure, idiotic perhaps, but terrorist?

That is just pure rhetoric and should cause you to be shamed. No one has bombed any bus full of kids, ok?!


If bombing a bus full of kids is how you define "terrorism" then you are right.

But "terrorism" is spreading fear. Its not about attack. It is about spreading fear.

Its about threats! Verbal or otherwise.

The government and the media do that all the time. They spread fear.


Well just my opinion, but spreading fear is spreading fear, or call it fear mongering, but terrorism requires violence and physical force.

If you ask me to drive you to work, and I tell you I will if you buy me lunch, and then you counter by telling me you need to go to work and I am just using this to get my way and you know that I know that you are being forced to buy me lunch, and you call that terrorism, I am still going to laugh! HA!

Terror is the same thing as fear only it is escalated. Remember the terrorism alerts they recently discontinued? They each had colors. Red alert being the highest.

What does that mean anyway? What does a population do with that information? Load their guns? Put on their gas masks and duct tape their windows up and hide in the basement? If that is not spreading "terror" I don't now what is.

Are you old enough to remember the nuclear bomb drills we had in school? In case of a nuclear attack we were told to get under our desks. Really?? What do you think that accomplished except to frighten and terrorize school children?

Threatening or suggesting that our social security will not be coming to us people who have worked all our lives and paid into, causes fear of abject poverty, homelessness, starvation. My God, that is terrifying. It makes me very angry that they would dare to suggest such a thing.

That is terrorism, intimidation, threats.

Just because our current society has been brainwashed into thinking a terrorist is a guy with a bomb on a bus or plane wearing a turban... does not mean that is the whole story.

Terror is fear. What makes you afraid? What do you hear on the news that makes you afraid? The news often terrorizes the public with stuff to worry about. There is simply NO REASON TO DO THAT.

And yet they hesitated to begin the practice of warning of bad weather with possible tornadoes when they did get the technology to predict bad weather claiming that they did not want people to "panic."

They want people to panic when they want to control something. They control by fear.

I am still trying to figure out how cutting spending, when the entire world knows we have a debt crisis, can somehow be linked to terrorism.

Its a very fascinating look into the mindset of the lunatic fringe on the left.

I am not talking about 'cutting spending."

I am talking about threatening to stop social security checks etc.

If you want to cut spending, then stop sending our money to other countries, and stop engaging in so many wars in third world countries.

And most of all, stop paying congressmen and politicians to much money.

And what they are doing IS TERRORISM. It is not simply "linked to terrorism."

It is terrorism.

why would there not be enough money to pay SSI?

could it be that the trust fund is full of iou's and they have borrowed as much as they can from other sources to cover SSI's obligations?

looks like we have a spending problem.

I guess some don't know the definition of terrorism huh?

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

This is an unlawful threat to people's well being. Terroristic actions by the GOP.
That is such a vague definition, but I will work with it.

So what part is unlawful in the OP? I am not defending any part of it, but I think it is outlandish to use that word. Lets see what you think was unlawful and why, this ought to be interesting.




To threaten all of our well being should be illegal if it isn't.

They are threatening all of our well being in this country.

That is the same as threatening to poison our food supply or water or whatever....
Well I could say that you not jumping off a bridge threatens all of our well being, and could perhaps even justify that with some bad deed you did in your life, but I would not call that terrorism..

Just saying.

Using a word like that in this context is rhetoric, and clearly it would be wrong for me to call you a terrorist for not jumping off a bridge, and calling other people no matter how wrong they may be a terrorist for standing up for what they believe is also wrong.


This is not the way forward, it is not the way to steer this ship back to safety. Using words like this just pushes the divide further and I stand by my previous post, really this should shame you.


Shame nor fear, they can have neither from me. Because I know what they are doing. If the "real" conservatives in this country would tell them to stop, they wouldn't be referenced in such a manner because......wait for it.....THEY WOULDN'T BE USING TERRORISTIC METHODS TO GET THEIR WAY TO RUIN THIS COUNTRY.

So does this equate to your definition of economic terrorism?


Obama says he cannot guarantee Social Security checks will go out on August 3.

President Obama on Tuesday said he cannot guarantee that retirees will receive their Social Security checks August 3 if Democrats and Republicans in Washington do not reach an agreement on reducing the deficit in the coming weeks.

"I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it," Mr. Obama said in an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley, according to excerpts released by CBS News.

Terrorism is what has just happened in Oslo. It doesnt get much more obvious than that.

I guess its time to write more posts that denigrate the US military in favor of the murderous swines of the World you support, eh?

Or maybe Bush was responsible for Oslo. Yeah, that's it. See, the more I read your posts, the smarter I become.

Please inform us of the truth, as we wait for your superlative knowledge and enlightenment with baited breath.
