"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide. The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume I, "Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum,of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838), p. 109.

This reminds me of Pogo possum,"We has met the enemy and he is us"

Damn, another Pogo fan!

yes the enemy is already among us and has been for years. you see it every day how they are tearing this country apart piece by piece and we stand here and do nothing to stop it. why you ask? because if you did to stop it is political suicide.

BTW, the water in Ohio is good. I grew up on Lake Erie swill.

You can fix this by voting for Flippy. According to the libbys, the only reason, and I mean the ONLY reason that we're being attacked by terrorists, and the ONLY reason that the rest of the free world isn't beating a path to our door to help stop it? Well you know who is is, the one, the only, the anti-Christ, the great white Satan himself! GWB... Vote him out, and we're all living in paradise. That's what they're all saying, they wouldn't lie about something like that, would they?

when it's president is not elected but becomes the "leader" by a coup d'état.

coup d'é·tat (d³-tä“) n., pl. coups d'état or coup d'états (d³-tä“). The sudden overthrow of a government by a usually small group of persons in or previously in positions of authority.

Get over it Rick...Nader didn't win!

If you really need help in trying to find proof that the 2000 election results were valid...I'll help you out!

I remember the President saying that we were in for a long struggle DAYS after 911. And less than two years after that tragic day, I hear politicians talking about exit strategies, and justification based on flawed intel. It reminds me of a bunch of small children in the back of a car on a long road trip.....ARE WE THERE YET?????? ARE WE THERE YET????
