KARL ROVE HITS THE LIBERAL NERVE

When White House strategist Karl Rove recently spoke at a fund raising event he apparently hit the liberal funny bone with a double whammy.
According to Rove, following the 9/11 attacks, conservatives girded themselves for war, while liberals wanted to prepare legal indictments and offer therapy and understanding to the attackers. It was one of those sweet moments when deceptive left wingers hear their own precise description coming back to haunt them.
Eagerly supported by the mainstream media, Democrat after Democrat seized upon Rove's words as an opportunity to shift attention from Senator Durbin's remarks calling Gitmo guards Nazis. From the same crowd that never once blinked at Durbin's outrageous remarks came cries for Rove to resign at once.
This writer can give a personal report on just how correct Rove was in his liberal post-9/11 description.
While on Cape Cod just before military action against Afghanistan was about to begin, and only weeks after the 9/11 attacks, I passed a million dollar summer home sporting a huge bed sheet hung like a flag. On the sheet were written the words: WAR IS NEVER THE ANSWER. Of course, the words were appropriately surrounded by liberal flowers and butterflies painted in psychedelic colors.
This is the leftist starting point. If attacked never use force to defend. Just spark up another joint and everything will be fine. They believe it and they act accordingly. It is part of that dream leftists desperately cling to of establishing Paradise on earth. The promise of Utopia.
The terrorist enemy is well aware of this liberal outlook on self-defense. They are counting on it to weaken America's resolve.
The sad fact is many leftists openly voiced their displeasure that the 9/11 attacks came after Clinton. If only Clinton had been president on the day of 9/11. Then Bush the Republican would have been deprived of such a political opportunity.
But if 9/11 had happened on Clinton's watch, Osama Bin Laden would have faced no more than an indictment by a Federal Grand Jury, the Taliban would still be in control of Afghanistan and Iraq would have remained in the grip of Saddam Hussein.
Karl Rove adequately and fully described the attitude of leftists, not only in the way they viewed 9/11 but in the way they still view the War on Terrorism. Left to liberal appeasement and inaction, America would be facing a danger far greater than the current level. Faced with leftist inability to fight when a fight is required, America would be well on its way to losing the war.
