Who Says a Terrorist Attack Has to be In an Airplane? How the GOP Threatens Our Lives

Your Daily Dose of BuzzFlash, brought to you by my pal Mark Karlin:

Yesterday, I wrote a piece on how the GOP needs terrorists in order for the Republicans to terrorize Americans, because otherwise they have no platform other than basically eliminating taxes for the wealthy and corporations. [...]

While the Republicans are scaring us to death about preventing a plane being blown up, which is almost impossible in the long term, our entire nation is subject to attack from within without any screenings, scanners, or body searches. [...]

The GOP enables terrorism, because the entire party runs on one grade of gas: opportunism. [...]

In a series of year-long gun attacks on American by Americans who believe Glenn Beck and his right-wing media colleagues that white males are victims and guns are their defense against "Socialist Tyranny," the U.S. is confronting a possible "lone wolf" terrorist attack, and one might consider many of these shooting terrorist attacks by those who have heard the siren song of "patriotic" armed rebellion implied by Beck and his right-wing media cohorts.

The right-wing media, and particularly FOX and Limbaugh, have developed an encapsulated pathology that justifies attacks on the government because in their delusional worldview, the federal government is illegitimate. [...]

Some would call Dick Cheney and his "crew" traitors.

BuzzFlash would be among them, because we value life.
