Unfortunately, look how many of them did accept 9/11 as an epiphany and instead of realizing that we're under attack from without, decided it proved that "conservatives' our own government were behind it and solidified their hatred of George W. Bush and started them claiming "it was an inside job!"
Notice how this inversion validates the thrust of this article.
My point is, will ANYthing rescue them from their endless loop of non-factual-based thinking?
Yes, and other liberals I knew at the time realized that it was not an inside job but that the clear evidence that we have enemies was going to set back their disarmment program until the public concern evaporated. Eventually the public will forget that we have enemies and they can go back to treating this as a minor police problem. Then back to spending the “peace dividend” to buy votes.
