In the same breath they claim we were attacked because of our freedoms. Why then, are they so anxious to surrender our freedoms with legislation like the Patriot Act, a repeal of our 4th amendment rights, executive orders, and presidential signing statements?

The jihadists certainly do hate our freedoms, as bin Laden tirelessly explains on every one of those tapes, but the fundamental reason we were attacked is that terrorism works as a military strategy. If we accept Paul's suggestion and surrender in the Middle East, we will STILL HAVE every one of those odious domestic restrictions. We will still have a Patriot Act, secret wiretaps, and everything else Paul hates. As in WW II, we have no choice but to win this. We would like to do it the nice way, by rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan, but if we have to we will resort to doing as many Dresdens as it takes.

Instead of recognizing the wisdom and desire of the voters, they are chided as cowards, unwilling to defend themselves.

. . . Americans are fiercely willing to defend themselves. . .However, we have no stomach for indiscriminate bombing in foreign lands when our actual attackers either killed themselves on 9/11 or are still at large somewhere in a country that is neither Iraq nor Iran.

What is war Ron? And who on the Left is 'fiercely willing' to defend themselves? How and at what point does the ferocity let loose? Before or after they sleep with the enemy?

Liberals are are not invested in defeat; they are committed to it. We have to go back a few years in history to understand 'why'. And this of course, is where their ferocity begins. . .and ends in a vision of an America recreated in their image.

As for the 'wisdom' of the public; the voters. . .who toay choose defeat; most cannot tell you who their Congressman is. They have been reduced to no more than 'brainwashed masses' created by a MSM that rewrites history every day through a filter of political correctness and with a defeatest; anti-American agenda.. . .and all by the most simple of sloganeering.

What 'wisdom' is to be gathered here?
