A great American president once said this:
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
–President Franklin Roosevelt
What did he know, he only led us through WWII against history’s greatest villain, Adolf Hitler.
The new Republican motto must be “the only thing we have is fear.” Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) is not happy that NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is not afraid to try terrorism suspects in New York:
SHADEGG: I saw the Mayor of New York said today, “We’re tough. We can do it.” Well, Mayor, how are you going to feel when it’s your daughter that’s kidnapped at school by a terrorist? How are you going to feel when it’s some clerk — some innocent clerk of the court — whose daughter or son is kidnapped? Or the jailer’s little brother or little sister? This is political correctness run amok.
Yes, Michael Bloomberg will be really sorry when the special forcefield over Guantanamo that keeps terrorists from doing bad things is broken, won’t he?
