terrorism
ter-ror-ism [ter-uh-riz-uhm]
: noun
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
There you go: a
dictionary definition
of terrorism. It's a key issue in today's politics; something that is harped on ad naseum by Republicans as they attempt to portray a strength and resolve apparently only unique to their party. It seems every political advertisement at least touches on the nebulous security issue, and some use it as the central theme. Republican ads target Democratic opponents as 'weak on terror' as images from 9/11 or other attacks are shown in the background.
Yet these advertisements themselves leverage the very concept Republicans are trying to denounce and are using it to scare people into voting for continued Republican leadership: terror.

Dear Citizens of Me,
I've had it. I'm outta here. Not really sure where a country the size of me can move, but I'm going to try.
When I was created over 230 years ago, I was quite proud of what I stood for: freedom of ideas, religion, speech, etc. As I grew up, some egregious wrongs were absolutely righted but mostly what I represented was a bright light in a dark world. But lately, I've had just about enough of some of you using my name to achieve selfish, personal goals as you tear me down.

I live in Pickerington, Ohio. Most people outside of the Columbus area have zero idea where that is, so let me give those people a heads up.
Pickerington is located in Fairfield county, just on the other side of the Franklin country border. It is a nice community, for the most part: it's quiet, the people are friendly, good school districts, 25 minute drive to downtown Columbus. If you drive in one direction, you're five minutes from a large retail area filled with restaurants, shopping, and a large movie theatre. If you drive in the other direction, you're in the middle of farm country with corn stretching to the horizon.

The letter sent to 14,000 Hispanic Democratic voters in Orange County warns them that they could face incarceration and deportation if they vote. The letter has been traced back to the campaign of Tan D. Nguyen, a Republican challenger to Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA).
Now, the strawman argument being put forth by conservatives is that this is just a measure to cut down on voter fraud by keeping illegal residents from exercising a U.S. citizen's right to vote. Except, read it again.
