We need congress replaced by those who are more intelligent and who can do a better job. I am convinced that this group of more intelligent beings can be found at your local kindergarten.

Yes, clearly those who download stuff for free are helping terrorism. They give it money (by downloading without paying) or something.

It's simple, really. By not funding RIAA and MPAA, fewer taxes are collected. That means we can't buy as many guns and give them to various nationalistic groups to help them fight off their oppressors...wait.

I can only hope that the backlash against the people crying "Terrorist!" now is as severe if not more so than the people crying "Communist!" in the 60s.
