So 9/11 happened on Bush's watch & Boston bombers were granted asylum on Bush's watch.

Yet it was under the Obama administration that the masterminds behind both were captured/killed. Which party is soft on terror?

and to destroy another rightwing meme:

The biggest mistake the RWNJs could make is believing that all Liberals are unarmed. WRONG. Liberals just don't live in a state of paranoid fear and are ok with regulations & background checks. It's called 'common-sense', something that is completely devoid in rightwing groupthink.

Good point, we can harp on that one. That was the point at which they were admitted to the US. Further, it was their parents who made the case out and the parents haven't done anything.

it always amazes me how the party of "personal responsibility" always just points fingers and blames others while NEVER taking personal responsibility. Unlike 9/11, Obama never received documents stating 'Bin Laden determined to strike the US'.

Neo-conservatives don't bother to do either and instead prefer to wallow in their narrow propaganda narrative of what they fantasize themselves to have done.
