I fall in on the liberal side of the debate:

Everything politicians say constitutes stupid jingo-ism designed to motivate under-educated morons to vote for them based on their stated intention, not the probable outcome of their intentions. I’m assuming that you take a similarly dim view of John Edward’s “two Americas” jargon? I’m also assuming that you have some readily available evidence that you will share with us showing that the Clean Air Act has increased polution and No Child Left Behind has lowered test scores. This is the first I’m hearing either of these claims.

To focus singularly on Osama Bin Laden is so myopic that it is almost not worth replying to. If your goal is retribution for 9/11, then you’ll achieve it by hanging him. But if your goal is to fight the growing fascism in the Middle East which leads to more Osamas and more 9/11′s, then your thinking is incredibly sophomoric.

but you can’t say it often enough.
