True or False? This is from a McCain stump speech:

The last six years have been a golden age of American apprehension
and mistrust. Thanks to the events of Sept. 11, 2001, all of America was
united, standing shoulder to shoulder in sheer, unrelenting fear. But
tragically, that atmosphere of panic and confusion has begun to fade,
and without another terrible attack to bond us as a nation, we are
dangerously close to entering a post-post-9/11 era.

We cannot allow that to happen.

We must all do whatever we can to preserve America by refocusing
our priorities back on the contemplation of lethal threats---invisible
nightmarish forces plotting to destroy us in a number of horrific ways.
It is only through the vigilance and determination of every patriot that
we can maintain the sense of total dread vital to the prolonged
existence of a thriving, quivering America. ...

You may say, "I am only one person. What can I do?" But all of our
efforts are needed if we are to maintain a state of constant anxiety. We
can all do more, but here is a good starting place: Twice a week, for at
least 15 minutes, take the time to worry about any Muslims who may live
in your area; lose sleep each night thinking about our thousands of
miles of unguarded borders; stock up on water bottles and canned goods
for no discernible reason other than that vague sense that civilization
will collapse any second. ... And remember: Each and every one of us, no
matter how big or small, possesses the ability to jump to conclusions.

Answer: False. But oh so true.
