Maybe Reasonable Ron has a point. Assuming
just one 9/11 attack per year of 3000, divided
the US population (295 million) gives a rough
probability of .00102 percent, while the
probability of your mother aborting you
(assuming you’re a fetus) is

850,000 abortions / 4.1 million live births+850,000 abortions

or about 17.2%. The death by terror threat is eclipsed
by the chance of not being born by about .172/.00102,
or roughly 169:1.

What are the chances that Reason magazine will
begin writing articles about the abortion threat?
Just two: slim and none.

Iâ€™m sure youâ€™ve heard the latest slings and arrows coming from our liberal friends; conservative â€œbedwettersâ€ and â€œchicken littlesâ€ who quake in their boots about dying in a terrorist attack â€“ as if there was any chance of that happening. Better to brush off the threat and put on macho airs (Do liberals had anything down there that would give them real courage in the first place?)

Yeah, but bloodstomper, you have an obvious agenda as well, call it ‘Republican-Hate’ if you will. I personally do not trust ANY politician of either party. Politicians are necessary in a liberal (classical) Western Republic such as ours. They may be necessary and I’ll defend their need, but it doesn’t mean I have to pretend that the majority aren’t corrupt and bought by various interests wether by socio-political rights groups or corporate interests.
But I’m digressing from the point of Rick’s post, wether we’re at war or not.
Rick, I contend that the origin of the “don’t worry, be happy” message originally came from the President himself and his administration.
What other President facing a military conflict doesn’t ask the country to sacrifice and effictivelly tells us that ‘all is well, don’t worry, our military can handle it; y’all just keep on shopping with those credit cards.’
You can’t deny that this Administration has been extremely cynical by their use of dual, conflicting messages and now it’s come back to bite them in the ass.

Everybody does indeed have an “agenda” but not everybody has an evil, dismissive, nasty and fake agenda like the republicans.

Ask a republican to explain the national debt to you. Ask a republican, especially after they are finished bashing the democrats with their republican hate-rhetoric about how the democrats are “soft” on terrorism, to explain EXACTLY what they have done to make us any safer than we were before September 11th. Ask them anything and all you’ll get is bullshit and finger-pointing at the democrats or “lefties.” Fact is, they don’t have any answers. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Fact is, democrats and “lefties” now have the great satisfaction of saying “told ya so.”

My own view is that just that the way that I’m sceptical about everything I read in newspapers, from Reuters or the AP, I’m just as sceptical about anything politicians tell me I should believe, Democrat or Republican. Why should I believe someone telling me there’s no war over someone telling me there is a war? Why should I believe anything ANY political or authority figure says?
Everybody has an agenda.

Ridiculous spin.

Contrast your straw man liberals to how conservatives foment fear and hysteria:
