I don't want to ever hear another lib say they will protect us.  First, they oppose the Patriot Act.  Then they oppose the NSA wiretapping program.  They oppose closing our borders.  Now, they won't even stand up for whistle blowers who notice something suspicious.  Last night, the libs blocked a Peter King amendment to the Homeland Security Bill that would give protection from lawsuits to people who report suspicious behavior.  It came as a result of those flying Imams who were taken off a plane in November for acting suspiciously.  Michelle Malkin has great coverage
of the vote, including the roll call.  Hell, even Shrill Hill voted for the amendment, known as the "John Doe" amendment.  On top of that, Debra Burlingame, whose husband was a pilot on Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon, has written a fantastic opinion piece that you can read HERE.
All of this adds up to a disgusting party that cares more about their interest groups (specifically, the trial lawyers and CAIR) then they do about protecting all of us.  Now, of course, those on the left will accuse me of being a hypocrite.  The right is beholden to their interest groups, too!  Well, lets just take a look at that.  The interest groups that support the Republican party stand for among other things, smaller government intrusions into our lives, faith-based initiatives and groups who actually go around and help people, standing up for life, and standing up for our Constitutional right to bear arms.  How about the left's interest groups?  Abortion on demand, including partial-birth abortion, trial lawyers who help inflate medical malpractice rates (John Edwards anybody?), gay and lesbian groups, open border groups like La Razza, CAIR (which was named an unindicted co-conspirator in funding Hamas), environmental wackos like the Sierra Club, who refuse to let us get off foreign oil, and that's just to name a few.  The comparison isn't even close.  The libs will not protect us, period.  Remember, it was under the Clinton administration that we were hit repeatedly overseas, and nothing was ever done, which only embolden Bin Laden and his cronies.  It was more important to attack the Branch Davidian and use force to send that evil  Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba.  It was the pathetic Jimmy Carter who let the Shah of Iran fall, which helped give rise to islamic radicalism.  I don't ever want to hear another lib say that they can protect us better.  The evidence clearly shows, that in the face of danger, the only thing the libs know how to do is stick their heads in the sands and pretend it's not real.
