Terrorism Works
It occurred to me recently that terrorism actually works. It terrorizes people. While everyone is aghast at something like September 11th and no one likes hearing news about incidents such as Fort Hood or the Underwear Bomber, some people are truly terrified by these events. Ironically, the ones most terrified are the ones who want to appease our enemies at nearly any cost. Liberals.
The rest of us are somewhere between concerned about the future and pissed off about the present, but we aren't terrified. Some of us are advocating an uptick or three in the military aggressiveness category, but there isn't a huge popular outcry for more war. Most of this country wants to end this war and is willing to listen to all sides. Some of this country thinks the debate is over and it's time to get serious about winning. Some of this country wants to surrender. Liberals.
Psychologists say "displacement" is shifting the source of emotional pain from its real source to a safer one. Liberals displayed this characteristic in abundance during the Bush years. Bush was portrayed as the real terrorist. Bush was the cause of all the worlds' problems. The buzz-kill in the Liberal fantasy world was that there actually were terrorists, and still are, who want to kill Americans. They have wanted to do it since at least the Carter administration and it hasn't made a difference if we liberated Muslim Kuwait or protected Muslim Bosnia. The Muslim terrorists still want to kill Americans. Not all Muslims, but enough. It is so much more comforting to blame Islamic terrorism on Bush than it is to blame it on Islamic terrorists. Denial is another way to mask emotional pain, such as terror.
Liberals will argue that America has it coming. We need to change, or expect the world to hate us. They argue the same thing about Israel. They say the Palestinian situation is the cause of all the problems in the Middle East. They ignore the fact that Israel was attacked at its birth in 1948 by 5 Muslim countries. Not one of them the Palestinians. They didn't exist yet. It is much more comforting to blame Israel instead of Islamic terrorists, because the Israelis are rational and moral. Islamic terrorists are murderers.
Liberals feel an irrational need for suicide that I don't wish to share. I have no idea how the concept of reality abuses the Liberal mind. I feel sorry for them. They ignore the history that proves their ideas lead to murder and accuse people who disagree with them of being despicable human beings. It is no wonder that terrorists terrify their minds. They have no belief system that can guide them out of the mess.
Liberals believe that if we all live off of each others' neighbors, it will be a wonderful world. If only the evil conservatives who ridicule Liberal ideas would just F*Off and die, then the world would be an utopian heaven. Finally we could all live in peace and harmony with each other.
Sadly, Islamic terrorists F*Up the liberal mythology that conservatives are the root of all evil. Islamic terrorists are definitely not conservatives. They aren't out advocating limited government, individual freedom and lower taxes. These guys want Armageddon.
Through the displacement of their fear, Liberals are doing the terrorists' bidding. They apologize for this country and admit we've had terrible Presidents and have done horrible things. They erode Americas' morale and will to fight back. This is exactly what the terrorists hope to accomplish through their terrorism. Apparently, it works.
