Americans Fear Their Government More Than Terrorists

[Comrade Crapski]

America’s enemies don’t have much to fear from the Community Organizer in Chief, but its people do. Even in the aftermath of Muslims bombing the Boston Marathon, Americans now fear the government more than terrorists:

A Fox News survey polling a random national sample of 619 registered voters the day after the bombing found Americans responded very differently than after 9/11.

For the first time since a similar question was asked in May 2001, more Americans answered “no” to the question, “Would you be willing to give up some of your personal freedom in order to reduce the threat of terrorism?”

Of those surveyed on April 16, 2013, 45 percent answered no to the question, compared to 43 percent answering yes.

In May 2001, before 9/11, the balance was similar, with 40 percent answering no to 33 percent answering yes.

But after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the numbers flipped dramatically, to 71 percent agreeing to sacrifice personal freedom to reduce the threat of terrorism.

Over the last dozen years, we have learned where the most profound threat lies — or at least, some of us have learned:

Bucking the trend, 51 percent of Democrats responded they would give up personal freedom to reduce the threat of terror, compared to 36 percent opposed.

Forty-seven percent of Republicans, on the other hand, opposed giving up freedoms, compared to only 43 percent in favor.

Yet independents were the most resistant, with only 29 percent willing to sacrifice freedom, while 58 percent stood opposed.

The solution is simple: use the Gang of Eight Quislings’ amnesty bill to import millions more Democrats, who will view Big Government the way a baby bird views its mother. Then we will have trust.

I can't tell if Loneiguana is actually trying to make a laughable claim that the Tea Party was portrayed more favorably than the Occupy crowd in the media.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Nice. This thread turned into a big fest.

Well, again, an entire news network backed the Tea Party.

Can you make that claim for Occupy Wall street?

Are you trying to make the claim that the Tea Party was viewed less favorable in the media?

I don't have a horse in this race but both sides were both overly lionized and overly condemned based on bias party lines.

One of them was lying right?

No. All of them were lying. It's somewhere in the middle... the facts muddled by the selected narrative of partisan networks.

Political rhetoric has gone off of the deep end over the past 10 years.

I don't really care much either, but to somehow claim the tea party was portrayed worse is crazy. If you believe that Find me a screen cap with cnn calling the tea party raciest similar to Fox calling all occupy criminals.

Sentenced to a year in jail and three years probation for manufacturing meth. Violated probation in and recieved another year in jail in 2002.
In 2010, pleaded no contest to federal charges of bank fraud--had opened bank accounts using fake names and stolen Social Security numbers, deposited checks from those accounts to withdraw at ATMs. Received 21 months in jail and followed by five years probation, which included not using aliases and not using the Internet without prior approval from his probation officer. In 2012, pleaded guilty to four counts of probation violation and was sentenced to a year in prison and four years of supervised release.

Wait---

he did all that shit, and was still out on the street. Only when the Obamugabe regime needed a patsy was he arrested for making a silly youtube video NO ONE watched and blamed for inciting an Al Qaeda planned attack on the anniversary of 911 that murdered 4 Americans in cold blood while Obama slept 'cos he had a busy campaign schedule the following day.

Is that what you're saying, kOZmo?

If that's not what you're saying, then just shut your filthy corksucker because nobody here wants to hear your BS, lies and Obastard propaganda any more.

Like I said he was an unkonown criminal until framed with the video. He's the perfect patsy

Um, the Tea Party is like 15% of the public whereas Occupy was a fringe element of 1/10th of 1% or even less. GMAFB with that comparison. Tea Party doesn't commit crimes either.
