Richard, terrorists come in all colors, and most are quite "conservative"---It's your myopic view of history that's getting in your way here.

Have a little faith in the tenets of the Constitution, for a change---It's people like you, who have given in to fear, who want to undermine what our founding documents really stand for; which is of the people, by the people, and for the people; freedom of religion, equality, liberty and justice for all---That kind of thing.

Liberals, who wrote those documents, continue to try to stand behind what they mean, and have taken this country a long way:  Equal rights for women and minorities, the vote for every citizen, the end of child labor, the 40 hour work week, not interfering in the sovereignty of other nations---It's actually a strength.

That they've been sidelined by both parties as our country drifts inexorably to the right is not necessarily their fault---They just trusted the wrong people, a common fault in politics.
