Where are the terror alerts?

I know that there are many amongst us who feel that the color coded terror alert system is a bunch of bullshit.  I am one of them.  I know it seems as if I'm trying to have it both ways here.  Calling our government's response to the threat of "terror" alarmist crap and then wondering when they don't keep us in a sense of panic.

But let's recap:  

----Prior to the Democratic convention, people were planning to blow up media vans.  

----Prior to the Democratic convention, there were three buildings in New Jersey that were being watched, for what we don't know, but God, is it scary.  

----Prior to the Democratic convention, Pakistani's have rounded up the most evil of the evil, and Bush and his pals came out to let us know. (Leaking the name of an operative, angering the world's intelligence agencies, all for political game.)

Fast forward a few weeks.

----Prior to the Republican convention...

crickets chirping

Well there were the anarchists.  But they are democrats. But then again they are a threat.  We will protect the Republicans from the Anarchists...Democrats...Threat...Terroists... Democrats, Terrorists?

----Labor Day Weekend...

The only threat our Government has been telling us about this week is coming from the President, who alerted those at a rally in Missouri against voting for John Kerry, who will rely on the goverments of France and Germany to give us permission to defend ourselves. Oh, that and he want's OBGYN's to share more love with the women.

The week leading into the September 11th Anniversary?

I guess Bush is right. We're safer!
