About This Quote

These are the guys who are always trying to make us believe that they are doing everything for our own good. They would have us believe that if we don't cheer for them, the terrorists will win. If we don't support them, the terrorists will win. If we don't give them money, the terrorists will win. Of course, the terrorists never win.
