Re: the "liberal" Muslim sympathizing Media:
NewsWeek, Dan Rather/CBS, et al, are cowardly party partisans. They fear Muslim terrorists' retaliation. They will be among the first "liberal" ones to capituate and to wave white flags of surrender. They are just like the Vichy French elites during WWII who not only readily turned over Jewish French citizens to the Nazis but also great art works in the Louvre. With great secular self-righteousness, "liberals" and the ACLU would serve up infidal Christians to Muslim terrorists. Bashing Bush, vilifing members of his administration, and slandering his nominees is a breeze for "liberals" because there is no viable retaliation.
Your tagline says it best: the price of freedom is vigilance. That is what we are doing here. Our vigilance toward the likes of Newsweak is the only thing (besides our brave men and women in the military) keeping us free. They protect our freedom, and we practive it. If either of us fall down, we are doomed.
