I must not fear for fear is the mind killer.
fear is the little death.
fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
i will face my fear.
i will permit it tp pass over me and beyond me.
when i turn to face the path that fear has taken.
there will be nothing and only i will remain.

You might want to make the GOP leaders aware of this.

They seem to think fear is the way to a vote.

Seems to me he used this in "Dune" when the Son was tested by the Sisters to see if he was "Human"

That's because you are confusing fear with ignoring reality. The Islamic extremists are dedicated to attacking us, and probably every other western style government again. Their goal is a new, world wide Caliphate.

I fully expect that we will be attacked again, and in a manner which will eclipse 9-11. Don't underestimate your enemy. They may be religious wackos, but they're smart, dedicated, and willing to die.

And when it happens, I won't draw any comfort by saying I told you so.

i will face my fear.
i will permit it tp pass over me and beyond me.
when i turn to face the path that fear has taken.
