In a move that would have been hard to imagine in previous years, the GOP has launched multiple fundraising efforts in the wake of the failed attack on Flight 253, seeking to turn the Christmas Day event into not just a political attack on the Obama administration, but also a boost for their year-end fundraising.

Republicans know the power of fear and most of us are chicken and fearful of the unknown and spend billions because of it. I would love to know how much business has flourished for the security industry. They must be laughing to the bank and Al-Quaeda is laughing at us because we are heading to bankruptcy because of one singular act.Recent events show how strategic our enemy is and how we readily fall for their recurrent attempts to instill fear in our lives and go to financial ruin to be safe. When will it end ? It will end when we take our democracy at hand and take away fear from the equation.
