#1 Because liberals keep their head in the sand and don't want to offend anyone since that might lead to confrontation and they can't have that since they are spineless anyway. They only stand up for things that the opposition can't hurt them.

#2 There are not enough liberals that see the light. Hopefully the number will grow. I don't expect them to become conservative, or republican, but it would be nice if they didn't blame the US for the worlds problems.

So far Lieberman, Zell Miller, Ed Koch, and Christopher Hitchens come to mind ans libs that at least have their head on straight that we are at war and aren't afraid to stand by their guns.

#3 Why do so many Americans refuse to face the fact that our country is at war with international terrorism?

Because you're mealy-mouthing the message (Hint, in 1940 Britain was not at war with the Luftwaffe)

#4 That's a valid point, gromgoru. Until we say, and say loudly, that ISLAM is the enemy, we're just spinning our wheels.

#5 "Because you're mealy-mouthing the message (Hint, in 1940 Britain was not at war with the Luftwaffe)"

No, that is not the reason. Our awkwardness at naming the enemy forthrightly and bluntly is certainly making the job more difficult; but it does not answer the question Koch raises: "Why do so many Americans refuse to face the fact that our country is at war with international terrorism?"

The reason so many Americans refuse to face the fact that we are at war, is because the Democratic Party has devoted nearly all its efforts the last five years, using every resource at its disposal, to first undermining Americans' support for Bush's conduct of the war, and then the notion that we are (or should be) waging war against this menace at all.

The Democratic Party is no longer the party of Roosevelt, Truman, JFK or even LBJ. Democrats don't "do" national defense anymore, it's been bred out of them. The only politics they know anymore is the politics of parasitism, and they've honed it to a fine art.

This war is a distraction from the only game they're good at. They simply want to drop it, and get back to the business of pimping for parasites.

#8 I know of no comparable poll taken in the American Muslim community, which numbers 2 to 6 million. There are certainly enough Muslims here to poll. Are we afraid to learn the results?

Ouch. Koch certainly doesn't expect to have a political career anymore. Hell, he sounds like Charles Johnson...
