The concept of terrorism.

Terrorism is not confined to extremist Muslims.

From wikipedia:

Terrorism in the modern sense is violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians for political or other ideological goals.

Terrorism happens all the time.

Anti-minority violence
Columbine
the Oklahoma City bombing
The KKK

This is terrorism in America.  Why isn't the war on terrorism fighting that?

I hate

Politicians who don't have anything else to make people want to vote for them except talking bad about other politicians.  I'm tired of getting mail from politicians stating that their opponent voted to get the ten commandments out of schools, are for gay marriage, vote pro choice, vote pro life, etc.
If I want to know what the opponent stands for, I don't need you to tell me.  They can speak for themselves.  
What do YOU stand for, Mr. Smear Campaign?  Are you such a douchebag that you can't even stand up for your beliefs without making everybody else look bad?  Is your campaign so weak and are you so unconfident in your ability to get elected that you have to bring up stuff that doesn't even matter about your opponents?  Shouldn't you be focusing on YOUR campaign?

It frustrates me so much.

You know what I think?

About these republicans in gay sex scandals:
When you are essentially forced to believe something you're going to want to rebel against it.  Some people are better at dealing with this desire than others.  If you're indoctrinated all your life to believe homosexuality is wrong, you're going to have a natural curiosity about it.  That's fine.  I think these people who are getting caught in these scandals really, aren't bad people.  We need to look at the environment these people are in.  Maybe we shouldn't look down on these people, but try to change the environment to make it much less harsh.
