So, the terrorist-safe red states have handed us a time-bomb. No terrorist has ever threatened Nebraska, Idaho, Utah, Missouri, etc. We who live in the extremely vulnerable cities that have already been in the terrorists' crosshairs -- New York, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago -- voted overwhelmingly for Kerry.
So we have swaggering cowboys and girls in the red states eager to "kick some Arab butt" who, like the chickenhawks, will not be on the receiving end of inevitable retaliation -- we will be. Why didn't they listen to us? We big city blue staters are the ones who have to deal with the threat of terrorism. We overwhelmingly chose John Kerry. That should have told them something vitally important that they needed to understand and respect. I feel utterly betrayed.
The last sort of person you want to be with in a dangerous situation is a bully.
I am enraged and grieved that they are so willing to throw us to the lions for their gladiatorial spectacle.
