"Only a fool is unable to connect the dots and see that the terrorists wanted to destroy (or disable) the financial (New York) and governing (Washington) centers of the United States."
You are so right and that's whats wrong with liberals. They do not sense the danger.
The unfortunate thing is that with the liberals (or "progressives", as they have rebranded themselves)...by the time they finally comprehend the danger, it's almost always after lives have been lost and property destroyed.
To make things worse, they silence anyone else who sees what's REALLY going on (or attempts to do anything about it). Then, after tragedy strikes, they blame everyone but themselves.
Liberals and their ilk are a blight to Western civilization and a cancer of the human race. 'Tis a pity that I must characterize other human beings in this way, but it's the analogy of best fit.
