Why do Liberals on this site call the REALITY of TERRORISM .. . . . .  only right-wing fear-mongering ??

I grew up in Spotsylvania Va. 60 miles south of D.C. and I was living in Fredericksburg on 9/11 my Lawyers Husband was in the Pentagon E Ring,  half of his office died that day. My sons teacher's husband also died that day. A great number of people from that area work in the Pentagon. Mary Washington hospital is our local hospital and there were so many injured that our hospital was full too. They poisoned our mail and my neighbor died from anthrax poisoning. We couldn't drive on the streets and all things were closed malls, places to eat, nothing open. We were scared and I will never forget that time, terror is real!

Janeyfre . . . whenever anyone attempts to find answers to horrible occurrences, it does not make them "Liberal".   Failure of one group (small or large) to understand the grievance of another lead to fiction.    The amount of friction it causes can be small or great.   If one side is ignorant to certain cultures of the other, and ignore these aspects of life, one stands a chance to offend and make it seem to the offended that it was due to lack of respect.   (Be it with fanatics or even a moderate society).\n\nThe fact that 9-11 happened should educate us that we obviously pissed a group of people off, enough to get them to kill themselves and take thousands of lives with them.   We called them cowards.  The people who supported their actions called them Martyrs / Heroes.  No one questions what caused 19 people to take their lives?  Yes it was horrible, yes, it was the wrong thing to do, yes, we need to find a way to prevent it from happening again, but in choosing to defend ourselves, it is MOST important to learn how not to fester more fanatics/radicals who will be willing to blow themselves up as an act of revenge.  \n\nWith the middle East burning for decades, (through generations), how can we ever expect to have peace in that region if "WE" the country with the most power continue to play the game that works to promote the growth of these radicals, some of which use religion, or some that simply believe an "eye for an eye" as part of their culture, where revenge becomes their duty.?\n\nIf we can't get past the natural desire of payback, then aren't we just following their lead, perpetuating our enemy's goal. . .to make more Martyrs?  You say we are Liberals because we look for "cause and effect" (looking for excuses) in what people do.  I say if we continue to act like rednecks. . .we can expect to have people wanting to use a saw on it.   No excuses. . .just reality. . .it's a shame only a few people realize this. . .(on all sides) . . .\n\nE LIB o NATOR  Your statement about abortions show how some people can be so callous in their thinking.  This goes against the grain of rational thinking and places you in a group not centered on reality.   I would assume you believe that statement because you listen without asking questions (as a liberal would do (to find excuses)).  Try to really think about what you wrote, and then find one person that LIKES abortion. . I'll wait.   Meanwhile, do you ever do anything you do not like to do?  Have you ever had an injection?  Have you ever sat in a dentist chair?  So, just because you do these things, it does not mean you like it.  Think before you write, our view of you depends on what you state.  If you still think you are correct. . .then maybe you can understand how a terrorist mind works. . .by being BRAINWASHED and without rational thought.

Maybe they are more afraid of the Republicans than the terrorists.  Republicans hinder their agenda to become a society in which there is freedom of religion unless your a \nchristian.  I believe the terrorists feel just about the same way.

Nice rant.....\n\nShould I address all of the fallicies one by one or will it be okay for me to just say that your 'facts' are questionable at best and some are plain wrong.\n\nBut alas, the selective memory and closed mind of liberals is at work again.

Interesting question. I have often wondered about this myself. I usually get my answer deleted whenever I discuss what I think the demsdo, It is obvious that they look over everything the terrorists do to us. There has to be a reason, but again, I can't tell my thoughts about it.. but it's time America wake up and see what they are doing. Thank God for smart people who have enough brains to see the truth...

Sorry libs are afraid of guns and loud noises except screaming at conservative speakers at Graduation. They might throw painty on the conservatives that are wearing animal skins tho, and chain themselves to the wheels of planes! \n As for Ding Dong (well named) The British, French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian Governments all believed the same things American intelligence did. Not to mention the United Nations! So I guess your from?

the sky in the liberals world is rainbow colored.( for  many reasons lol )..and exists in some   parallel universe...where reality.. is the fantasy.(and their own personal nightmare)..and they believe with out question  everything their party/ and the media says is the truth...where God is banished  from schools and society..and there is no need for armies because they  don't believe terrorists  or dangers exist....and the devils name is Bush...lol..

It is indeed a sad commentary on the 'average' US citizen .. and the Congress ... that no one is raising red flags!!! ... The citizenry is more interested in who is winning on some idiotic reality tv show. and the Congress is more worried about getting re-elected and keeping their cush-jobs than they are in preserving the standards of freedom that this country was built on and that, supposedly, our military men and women have fought for and are fighting and dying for.  But it seems all we get is rhetoric and no action.

Gee that's funny, I throw bombs at liberals for fun, and my email is always open.  The day I become afraid of liberals, I pray someone in my family will run me down with their car.\n    Sadly, only one had emailed me, and as it turned out it was nothing but an intelligent respectful argument.  \n   So friend, allow me now to insult your factless whiny accusation.  You do not inevitably see it. That is somewhere on the scale of wishful thinking to downright lie.  So put the picture of Speaker Pelosi away, pull your pants up, and stop crying.  There are better ways to celebrate your election day afterglow isn't there?

Melissa, \nJust for your Information, those are VERY Bogus anti-American films from someone out of England.\n\nThey assume that the USA put a missile through the Pentagon?  How stupid is that?\n\nNext they take words from politicians out of context.  Fairly common for Liberals anyways.\n\nIf the president FAKED 9/11, then there are 3000 fake dead people?\n\nThere are so many people who HATE the president SOO Much they would destroy this country to make sure that a democrat gets in charge?\n\nPay attention people.   Even Osama Bin Laden said he did it.\n\nStop giving aid and comfort to the enemy!

The media does have information to most things, for example I read books 4 years ago about reprecussions of certain policies that look as if they are prognosticators, some of this stuff is not a seceret. I agree that people's information is limited more than we think through the media. Conservatives complain about the liberal media and liberals about the conservative media. What Bush is doing is no comparison to the crimes that Sadam commited? Well, I don't fully agree with that and I could  engage in a discussion about that if anyone wants to email me @ bennymokey2001 on yahoo, but with that argument someone could say well Hitler was horrible nothing else matters crime wise, oh Bin Laden did this everybody else gets off free. "Americans are so stupid in general thinking that their civil liberties are being violated by allowing the patriot to continue?" How is the government looking at what you check out from a library not neoMcCarthyism? I serisously doubt that any library has any materials that preclude that you are a threat to the state. I don't have anything to hide either. But I wouldn't want to be followed around and watched because I read some book or had a conversation. The President is above the law but should not be as the role of the executive branch is to reflect, not dictate the temper of the people.

Liberals live in the perfect world's within their own minds where there is a pot of gold at the end of each rainbow and a rainbow for each rain drop that falls. Where all Muslims are moderates and everyone egalitarian. Wouldn't it be great if the real world was that way? Obviously, it is not. However, and unfortunately, the liberals don't dare let the realities of the real world cloud their 'judgements' (they don't really make judgements -- they have preconceived ideas only) or their rhetoric and the rest of us must live with them and their ridiculous tendencies even while trying to make the world as pleasant and just for all as is possible.

The only real problem I have with liberals is that they complain about the way things are but I never hear what their alternate plan is that will make the country better.  It doesn't seem to matter what the President does, it is automatically criticized by the left, without offering any viable alternative  Think about this, if Clinton had been President during 9/11 I bet he would not have done a damn thing about it except to launch another missile strike against another milk factory in Africa.  Liberals don't seem to have a sense of history.  The Islamic terrorists have been attacking America and killing Americans since the 1980's.  We just finally had a President in office with the balls to stand up to those jerk offs.  I am answering this question with a question of my own.  If everything the conservative are doing is wrong, just what is this great plan the liberals have????  I am so glad John Kerry lost.  He would have to take a public opinon poll every time before he would make a decision about anything.  Every time we get a Democrat in the Presidency our taxes go up and the military is gutted, stripped to the bone, leaving us totally unprepared when we are attacked.  I don't want a nurse maid government that thinks it knows what is best for me and wants to set up more government "programs" to take care of every aspect of our lives.  That is not what the bill of rights and the Constitution is all about, never was.  Liberals seem to think that most of us are just to dumb to think for ourselves and run our own lives.  They are constantly trying to divide the country instead of uniting us, always talking about this group or that group that is "dis-infranchised"  Liberalisum is to close to socialisum for me.  I have talked to liberals that went to see that piece of crap movie Michal Moore made and actually think its the truth!!  Give me a break!

Absolutely NOT! Libs want terrorists to have rights...just like they want to give rights to criminals. \nYou are a good American for pointing out another blemish in liberalism!

Sacrificing morality?  How about the Constitution?   I cant wait until all these neo cons realize that we were sold a bill of goods as far as terrorists go...and how much they sacrificed for a little bit of "safety"  After all, Homeland Security is big business.  It's not just you, they are off their rockers.

you bring up a very good point. thanks to years and years of deliberate misinformation and demonization of liberals by the right-wing media, most of what republicans believe about liberals bears little resemblance to reality. they believe a bunch of myths and stereotypes that are repeated over and over until in the conservative mind they become "fact" - i.e. there's a liberal bias in the mainstream media, liberal bogeymen want to come and take away all your guns, republicans are more fiscally conservative (see current administration), liberals are anti-family, liberals don't support the troops, liberals are pro-abortion, liberals are elitist snobs, liberals in reality hate america, and as stated in the post before mine, liberals have no ideas... etc., etc., etc...\nWHY do they choose to believe silly myths and hateful stereotypes? because they're easily manipulated & have an innate need for some "other" that they can feel superior to.

Are you kidding me? As a Yankee liberal living in a Southern Red state I can relate to what your saying. My only saving grace is that I work in a field where there is an abundance of liberals. When I'm with my liberal brethren, the air is sweeter, the sun is brighter, food is tastier...you get the idea. Some criminal republicans can be a downer at times trying to make you (liberals) feel as if we're some sort of subversive counter-culture when the opposite is the truth. Just tell your favorite repug. to put the tin-foil back on their head as FoxNews and newsmax. com is calling their name.
