Ignore the truth if you like but an average of 195,000 people in the USA died due to potentially preventable, in-hospital medical errors in just 3 years and cost 100 times more in just America than all worldwide terrorist acts have caused in the same three years. Maybe we need a war on medical malpractice. lol

Yeah, imaginary as in having cost trillions of dollars, killed and maimed and displaced millions with no end in sight. It probably seems real enough to most sane people with a modicum of brain activity.

One less moron to read. Bye forever.

You are right. But that is what the Forefathers wanted. It was the way to start a new governmental dictatorship called democracy. Give the stupid Americans what they want until they hang themselves.

Americans are intellectually stunted parasites living off of the hard work of their forefathers. They're drama fetishists that believe any extreme statement vomited out by the media if it's entertaining enough. The typical lazy fat American over watering his lawn while eating a Big Mac isn't motivated enough to do enough research to discover the truth about anything. Slightly less than 30% of Americans feel compelled to educate themselves beyond the grade school government propaganda machine. That means 70% of all Americans are government programmed imbeciles that believe anything they hear in the media.

If they now believe terrorists are winning some imaginary war being fought against Gods chosen country it's probably because it was written on a placemat included with their kids McDonald's happy meal or inscribed on the bottom lip of an In-N-Out burger drink cup.

British terrorists have been winning in America since the early 1800s.

Social Security is a British trust, with the Queen as the beneficiary.

The money we get if we collect SS, comes from the general fund, at the will and whim of Congress, just like all the other money manipulations.

Well, I happen to think that this is one more confirmation that garbage media and political sex workers (both of which are owned by the same corporate interests) just aren´t having as much success as before in forming opinions for people.

I wouldn't spend much time caring what Americans think because they're mostly retarded.

Nearly one-fifth of Americans think Obama is a Muslim.

25 percent of Americans don’t believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution while less than 40 percent do.

Nearly 40 percent of Americans still believe the Sarah Palin-supported lie about "death panels" being included in health care reform.

Someone as obviously stupid as Sarah Palin was elected to public office.

As of just a few years ago, about half of Americans still suspected a connection between Saddam Hussein and the attacks of September 11, a lie that was reinforced by none other than Dick Cheney.

A majority of “young Americans” cannot identify Iraq or Afghanistan--the places their peers are fighting and dying--on a map.

Two out of five Americans, despite the whole separation of church and state being a foundation of our democracy thing, think teachers should be able to lead prayer in classrooms.

Many Americans still believe in witchcraft, ESP and other supernatural phenomena.

In a recent poll 20 percent of Americans still believe that the sun revolves around the earth. That's just sad, considering that even the Vatican has let Galileo off the hook for being right.

Only about half of Americans realize that Judaism is the oldest of the three monotheistic religions. They believe Christianity was first.

In 2006 more Americans were able to name two of the “seven dwarves” than two of the Supreme Court justices.

More Americans can identify the Three Stooges than the three branches of government--you know, the ones who are jockeying over our welfare.

Poll: Record Number of Americans Say Terrorists Are Winning
40% See Terror Winning, Up From 9% in 2011

A newly released CNN/ORC poll shows a record large percentage of Americans believing that, with respect to the global war on terrorism, the terrorists are winning, along with the lowest number yet thinking the US are winning.

The new poll saw 40% thinking terrorists are winning, 18% thinking the US is, and 40% saying no one is winning. This is a sharp split from the last poll, in 2011, which saw 9% believe terrorists are winning, 44% thinking the US is, and 45% saying neither.

Similar polls have been conducted since 2001, and the previous peak for the “terrorists” answer was 23%, in August 2005, immediately after the London Tube bombings. Even then, 34% thought the US was winning.

Other questions in the poll saw the public split 49-49 on the question of sending ground troops to Iraq and Syria, but perhaps even more interestingly, a record large number of Americans, 53%, believing the government can “prevent all major attacks if it works hard enough at it.”

There was no accompanying language suggesting exactly how the government would eliminate terrorism, but previous polls on the same question have tended to have a strong majority of Americans believing that terrorists would “always find a way.”
