Points: 17,941, Level: 85 | Level up: 86%, 409 Points needed | | Speaking of Red States v Blue States... The Department of Homeland Security has released a report which reveals the shocking reality of the terrorist threat against these United States. It turns out that in Indiana alone there are 8,591 potential terrorist targets, which is - strangely enough - fifty percent more than the 5,687 targets in New York state.
There are really more potential targets in "Heartland" states than in a giant metropolis like New York? Yes indeed - assuming that Al Qaeda is planning to attack "Old MacDonald's Petting Zoo, the Amish Country Popcorn factory, the Mule Day Parade, the Sweetwater Flea Market and an unspecified 'Beach at End of a Street,'" according to the New York Times. That's right folks: "Beach at End of a Street" is in serious danger.
Funnily enough... The database is used by the Homeland Security Department to help divvy up the hundreds of millions of dollars in antiterrorism grants each year, including the program announced in May that cut money to New York City and Washington by 40 percent, while significantly increasing spending for cities including Louisville, Ky., and Omaha. ...which explains a lot. See, while New York listed things like "The Statue of Liberty" and "The Empire State Building," they forgot to list things like, "Joe's Hot Dog Stand" and "XXX Video Rental." And that's why they saw a big drop in funds to fight terrorism. Don't believe me? Check this out: In addition to the petting zoo, in Woodville, Ala., and the Mule Day Parade in Columbia, Tenn., the auditors questioned many entries, including "Nix's Check Cashing," "Mall at Sears," "Ice Cream Parlor," "Tackle Shop," "Donut Shop," "Anti-Cruelty Society" and "Bean Fest." Bean Fest. So does the Department of Homeland Security find this embarrassing at all? "We don't find it embarrassing," said the department's deputy press secretary, Jarrod Agen. "The list is a valuable tool." Sure it is. A valuable tool for a bunch of tools. http://journals.democraticunderground.com/top10/252

If you can show any inaccuracies in this post, I will be happy to retract it.
Otherwise, your complaint is meaningless. You're ignoring the message because you don't like the messenger...

Iran's Hizbollah says ready to attack US, Israel Tue Jul 18, 10:04 AM ET
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's Hizbollah, which claims links to the Lebanese group of the same name, said on Tuesday it stood ready to attack Israeli and U.S. interests worldwide.
"We have 2,000 volunteers who have registered since last year," said Iranian Hizbollah's spokesman Mojtaba Bigdeli, speaking by telephone from the central seminary city of Qom.
"They have been trained and they can become fully armed. We are ready to dispatch them to every corner of the world to jeopardise Israel and America's interests. We are only waiting for the Supreme Leader's green light to take action. If America wants to ignite World War Three ... we welcome it," he said.
Iranian religious organisations have made great public show of recruiting volunteers for "martyrdom-seeking operations" in recent years, usually threatening U.S. interests in case of any attack against the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme....... http://tinyurl.com/h2p3m |

Your message sucks the big one. Your message is nothing more than liberal trash and it smells like it. Liberals do anything they can to appease the enemy and blame America and mock an administration for fighting an enemy that wishes to destroy us. I like the words of Mark Levin...."I despise you". |

Do I need to use smaller words in talking to you so that you don't misunderstand so easily? Quote: |

I like the words of Mark Levin...."I despise you". | This has nothing to do with "appeasing the enemy". Once again, you completely misunderstand. It's like a disease with you.
The administration is incorrectly distributing its resources towards areas that clearly are not as important as others.
If you were TRULY INTERESTED in fighting terrorism, you would want MORE of your money going to a state which has REPEATEDLY been a target of terrorism as opposed to a state which I don't believe has EVER been a target of terrorism.
Were those words too big for you to comprehend?
Can you respond to my ACTUAL point?
Or is that too much to ask from you...

Mark Levin  | Exactly. Only an idiot like you would think someone other than the muslims were responsible for 09/11. At least Mark Levin has a brain and knows who the enemy is. The only thing you know for sure is at 6:00 pm the nurses will come around with your medication. |
