Short answer, no, of course we aren’t safer. Making us safer would require uniting the country, and making significant investments in infrastructure. Pretty hard to do when your raison d’etre is division, tax cuts and taking care of your cronies. As long as the oil companies can continue raking in record profits, Bush & co don’t give two hoots about what happens to America.

Drink the kool-aid and you’ll feel no pain.
