A Philadelphia conservative tries to stay sane in a city full of liberals

Democrats are siding with the terrorists -- again. Dems have stalled the renewal of the Patriot Act with a Senate filibuster. And now they are criticizing President Bush for "eavesdropping" on terror suspects. (When I say "Democrats", that includes Arlen Specter, the in-name-only Republican senator from my state). Have they forgotten 9/11? Of course not. Liberals aren't quite that ignorant (are they?). But Democrats have lost their collective marbles now that they have been out of power for some time, and they are willing to resort to any means necessary to regain it. As a result, they are willing to side with terrorists against President Bush if it means that they can regain seats in Congress next November. But this is going to backfire on them, just as similar tactics continually have been. Most registered Democrats I know (and believe me, I know a lot of them; I live in Philadelphia) do not sympathize with terrorists. Most of them have not forgotten 9/11 (although they sometimes pretend they have, depending on what type of conversation we are having). By showing more concern for so-called "privacy rights" of terror suspects than for the safety of the American citizens who elect them, Democrats are likely to alienate a big chunk of their constituency, simply so that they can shore up the far-left Michael Moore wing of their party.

You've probably heard conspiracy theories about Bush knowing about 9/11 before it happened. But let's imagine, for one moment, that he did have that knowledge. What would he have been able to do about it? Liberals would have fought tooth and nail to block any action Bush would have taken to prevent it. If they oppose efforts to fight terrorism after we were attacked, what kind of efforts would they have supported if we weren't yet attacked? Liberals have now alerted terrorists to a counter-terrorism tool. Why would they do this? The Drudge Report says that the New York Times broke the story to coincide with a book release.

This is why Ann Coulter says that liberals are guilty of treason.
