Hey liberals, we haven't been attacked in 5 years, are we just lucky, or is it because of the democrats?

Question

Or maybe the terrorists have decided not to attack us anymore? Well, what is it? If you can't answer, WHY ARE YOU A LIBERAL?

Let me summarize the answers so far:

Dukal - doesn't think not being attacked is in his best interest. Are you a muslim perhaps?

Answerman - I didn't ask who is to blame, I asked who deserves the credit.

Dstr - Thinks we attacked ourselves. I guess Osama is lying when he says he did it.

Brian - Thinks liberals could do it if they had a chance, like Clinton had?

Jacin - Doesn't think not being attacked is important. There are more important things than being alive?

BJ Clinton - GREAT ANSWER!!!

Cassie - doesn't think terrorists are afraid of Bush. But, doesn't explain why they havent' attacked. Thinks feeding the poor is more important than being alive.

Noils - isn't afraid of terrorists. I'm not either, with President Bush in office.

Larry - doesn't think they want to attack us again.

Oderus - thinks we've just been lucky, but isn't sure if Bush didn't do it. Did Bush also bomb the trade center in 93?

answer farrie - makes no sense

notme - no answer

mymadsky - refuses to answer

screaming eagle - no answer, just whines because people die in war

oohh - same whine as eagle

scotty - thinks we're lucky

Total:

we've been lucky - 2

thinks terrorists don't want to attack us - 1

non-answers from liberals - 12

Answer 1

That a girl...give them hell for being a liberal.
Those are all good questions.

Answer 2

Maybe you haven't been watching the news. Or perhaps our troops don't matter to you??? Or do you only care about attacks on the U.S. soil?
No one, including the President, considers us safe from terroriist attacks at home. Do you really mean to assert that we have not been attacked because of the Administration's policies? Have we secured the borders? Prevented terrorists from entering the country?
Are we safer than before 9/11? Read the intelligence summary.

I would not blame the administration if we are attacked again (which they expect to happen), because no administration can completely seal our country from terrorist attacks.

So, the real question becomes, are we doing as much as we can to prevent terrorist attacks? Evidence is overwhelming that our ports are not secure, our borders are not secure, the airlines are not secure, the trains are not secure. Obviously, we could do more.

Answer 3

,If there was ever really any kind of threat it would have happened long before 9/11 and more frequently don't ya think? i mean we didn't have the patriot act and the like before that and our border security was alot more lax back then. so, well you get my point. whether 9/11 happened because the terrorists got lucky or our government intentionally turned its ugly head is beyond me. my answer is their has never been any real terrorist threat here. I am a Democrat because i care about my fellow man, and my rights and ,I am not blind and deaf. I can form my own opinion it doesn't need to come from a book or, some one who i think is an authority figure. Hand of J how can you expect me to trust a man to tap phones that has said that all union organizations pose a terrorist threat? that tells me if you don't share his beliefs you to can one day be suspect of terrorism. the war in Iraq has nothing to do with terror. If we were actually fighting a real war on terrorism why didn't we invade Iran instead? that was the only country i can think of that actually had people come over here and perform acts of terror. and if you want to play the dictator card north Korea has a far worse dictator than Iraq ever did.
Typical republican she took my answer right out of context. If you looked a little harder you would see that I wrote I dont think there is was or ever has been any real terrorist threat. you would have noticed if you were able to see past the tip of your nose.

Answer 4

If the degree of the so-called "terrorist threat" existed as arguously as the Bush Adm. feared us to believe then I say we are just lucky considering they have done very little in the implementation of the 9/11 commisions recommendations. How much safer are we really? If they were as worried about it half as much as they promoted the fear of it, wouldn't you think our borders and ports would be absolutely secure by now? How can you possibly justify the loss of liberties and constitutional rights that weve suffer based on the acts of eighteen Saudi's with box cutters and a couple muslims legally purchasing a bunch of cell-phones? Don't let the fact that we haven't been hit justify your allegiance to the worst lying bastages in American political history. I go liberal just to make you clueless types become informed.

Answer 5

A Because they won what they wanted since the republicants (not a typo) were in power - e.g., curtailing our freedoms and harming our lifestyle.

B Because of something that Bleedin' Heart Liberal FDR (isn't he considered the ultimate liberal?) did. E.g., getting the United States to invent and build nuclear weapons.

I'm a liberal and I don't like the existance of nuclear weapons any more than anybody else - but if they had to be invented the were invented by the best people in the world to get them first. I also don't say to get rid of them because we can't - thinking we can in the current world is silly.

Answer 6

On September 24, 2006 the American death toll in Iraq and Afghanistan equaled that of 9-11.
It would be crazy to call that luck...except for the terrorists.

They attack America a dozen times a day - you just don't hear about it from our cowed press.

Answer 7

It took eight years to carry out the second attacks on the WTC. Are you going to give Clinton credit for that?

No dear, it takes time to carry out a plan when stuck in a frickin cave.

Answer 8

you are just feeding off the last question and your answer. Do you truly believe that the terrorists are afraid of this administration???????????where oh where have you been?????
I am a woman of faith who always thinks that feeding the poor anywhere is more important than a war anywhere for any reason.

Answer 9

we are attacked everyday in iraq.we were recently attacked in syria . you cant have it both ways if attacks outside the usa count for clinton they count for bush also. after the 93 attack on the wtc there were no attacks on american soil until bush took over.8 yrs

Answer 10

How come over 2500 American troops are dead then?

I guess you don't care about our troops?

That is why you are a conservative.

Conservatives in power failed to prevent the attack.

Conservatives in power also failed to prevent the anthrax terrorist attacks that occurred on US soil after Sep 11, 2001.

Answer 11

The administration wagged the dog by overstating the threat. The neocons wanted more presidential power to push through their agenda of dominance, both here and abroad. Most of the US fell for it, but the tide of public opinion is shifting.
