My new Blog over here on the great Ron Paul Forums - On the Risks of Terrorism.

Who 'Neocon' is, is irrelevant. The point is that *this* is absolutely the mindset that Neocons (and for sure *many* so-called 'conservatives' and Republicans) have. This is what we're dealing with. Complete disregard, if not even pure disdain, for the US Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and seemingly even loosely defined notions of freedom.
Aside from their arrant contempt for the Rule of Law - this fear of terrorists is absolutely, completely, irrational. Statistically speaking, your chances of being killed by a *police officer* are significantly higher than being killed by a terrorist. You are much more likely to be struck by lightning than be killed by a terrorist... more likely to drown, to trip and fall and die... and on, and on, and on.
