You know you've reached the bottom of the barrel when all you have to trot out is fear mongering "they're coming for your children" line. Well that's all the President had at his news conference yesterday;
President: I would hope our world hadn't become so cynical that they don't
take the threats of al Qaeda seriously, because they're real. And it's a danger
to the American people. It's a danger to your children, Jim. And it's really
important that we do all we can do to bring them to justice.
Yes, it's all about the children. If we don't fight those nasty islamofacisterroristerriblebadarkskinneduglynastyguys they will come here and kill our children.
Well, I agree with Charles Pierce and his response to this pandering;
Look, sport. I'll take care of my kids. One of the ways I'll do it is to make
sure that you and your creepazoid vice-president don't send them off to be
killed on the basis of lies, trickeration, and the fact that you never flattened
Daddy on the front lawn that night you were sockless. Another of the ways I'll
do it is to make sure they fight as hard as they can to recapture the
constitutional rights -- and the culture of civil liberties -- to which they are
entitled by nature and by nature's god, to make sure they never again have to
live under a government staffed by legacy idiots and the products of fourth-rate
right-wing diploma mills. The last way I'll do it is to make sure they recognize
and appreciate those things about this country that actually are worth fighting
for -- most of which you wouldn't recognize if they fell off a shelf onto your
head. Protect my kids? Ace, I wouldn't hire you to mow my lawn.
It's time to call a spade a spade.
