Why are you concerned about the AM radio stations and good Ol us voters if they are a "crazed few" over the "sane" rest? That could be said for most of society could'nt it. What I love are people who comment on blogs, but NEVER leave the address to a blog of thier own, or the full name of the commenter....somthing you said that you are not willing to take full responsability for? Sorry Mike to take up such a large portion of comment space. I hate idiocy also...great blog - first time I have been here. Keep up the great work. :) (oops) then kill you….hmmmm – sounds like a big differance to me.

They would rather share thier belief with you and have you make your own conclusion, they dont want to share thier beleif and if you dont join, MS one big differance between rapture and suicide is that people who

You really shouldn't call anti-terrorists terrorists. It's very confusing.

Rather, everyone was wrong about being able to keep the federal government under control. Jefferson also gave us the answer to that problem, but we have so far failed to employ it. Excuse me?

It has everything to do with cultural and religious indoctrination. Listen to some of those backwoods Am radio stations on your way down I95. You'll hear good ol' US voters talking about the end times and how they are GLAD about the troubles between fanatics and the US and Isreal because it bodes for the time they are Raptured, and the sooner the better for them. Likewise, why not blow yourself up on an airplane if it gives you seven virgins in heaven? And why not fight to the last woman and child to keep hold of a small piece of desert called the Holy Land? Thomas Jefferson was obviously wrong about the ability of political systems to live in "honest friendship". As I recall, he died pretty much disillutioned about the world, after having the reigns of power himself. No, Mr. Hampton, you have it all wrong, it is about terrorism of the crazy few over the sane rest of us. There is no way to get rid of it. So we have to live with it, including not taking toothpaste on an airplane, I guess. Don't fly, drive! Gas is still cheap here compared to the rest of the world. And the GMs and FORDs will not let car sales diminish if we stop buying because of the price of gas. They'll pull out all that great secret technology they've been holding on to, but only after we suffer some more. Because they are terrorists in their own right. And I guess maybe you are too, fomenting such hate at Homeland Stupidity, as you do. This has nothing to do with US meddling. It has everything to do with cultural and religious indoctrination.
