THE POLITICS OF FEAR: "The Gift That Keeps Giving" Thomas Friedman New York TImes Column Comment Response By The Ninth Amendment

       Wednesday, 3 December 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The Ninth Amendment editorial board submitted the comment below to the New York Times in response to OP-ED columnist Thomas Friedman's column entitled "The Gift That Keeps Giving" reflecting on the culture of fear that has permeated the United States since 9/11/2001 as the result of a conscious choice of the not-really-elected "President" George "little shrub" Bush to play the "fear" card and lead the United States in that direction in which the country unfortunately has kept moving with such momentum that it has left President Obama with little room to maneuver even after six years to higher aspirations than caving to the irrational fears that is the only goal of "terrorists" who actually have very little power unless they get very lucky and get noticed.
       A true and correct copy of the text of the Ninth Amendment comment follows. It is now known at this time that a new milestone for the Ninth Amendment has been achieved along with our diabolical master plan in the spirit of Vincent van Gogh and so many other great talents shunned in their lifetimes to see our entire audience eliminated but to keep both our ears (except through one or two "mistake" or "sympathy" pageview hits from our non-existent brother) either through lack of reader interest and/or knock-off sites that after a few site visits today from the New York Times administration it has decided the following Ninth Amendment comment for the first time in history has and will not be digitally published by the New York Times along with the couple hundred comments that did pass muster following "The Gift That Keeps Giving" column:
"How ironic. FOX-TV for the first and only time gets the scoop and calls it "right", "little shrub" loses both popular and electoral votes but the GOP Court steps on in and voila Bush v. Gore effectively names Bush 43 President sends it back to FLA where Bush family Governor and GOP election official pull the lever and coup d'etat! President of these United States. Do not follow the Constitution knows best and Osama bin Laden gets the fool of his dreams for the big day in September. And again begins the Politics of Fear as that is the way Dick Cheney makes a killing as it were. Mr. Friedman the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment at www.waronnothing.blogspot.com could not agree with you or your commenters as of now more. A heartfelt thank you for this rare opportunity to make a somewhat relevant comment which in conclusion consists of three of our favorite quotes. One from our existentialism teacher at Exeter: "Thank you for belaboring the obvious." Two from a Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." And three from a U.S. President on the occasion of his first inaugural address before a remarkable first week in office in which he accomplished more than the House of Representatives has in a year, Franklin Delano Roosevelt: 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself.'"
