I doubt many on the left are getting it. Why do you think the terrorist organizations like al Qaeda and Hezbollah were cheering for the dems to win the 2006 election? It wasn't because they liked them better. It was because they know when the dems get their power back and keep it, they won't do a thing when the terrorists attack our country again. And the left think when they are in charge the terrorists won't attack again.
They fail to realize it does not matter to the terrorist if we are republicans, libertarians, or democrats. Or if we are black, or white or yellow. Or if we a Catholics, or Protestants or Atheists. They hate us all
