Why does the left (see the BBC and Michael Moore, for example) insist that terrorism doesn't exist? Here's as good an explanation as I've seen. The website Dr. Sanity writes:
The Left calls international terrorism an "illusion." I call the the views of the Left "delusional". Thier illusion is a concoction of wishful thinking, projection, and outright denial of reality.
What we see in the delusion that "terrorism does not exist", is a desperate attempt by the Left to explain-- in terms they can understand, their own fall from power and influence in the world.
They would rather believe this illusional "nightmare enemy gives so many groups new power and influence in a cynical age - and not just politicians"; rather than to deal with the fact that they no longer have the power and influence they once had, prefering to believe that it has been stolen away from them by vague conspiratorial forces.
Additionally, they unknowingly demonstrate the typical cold grandiosity and arrogance of the true paranoid, by asserting that their own superior intellect allows them to see beyond the obvious facts that we mere mortals must deal with.
Further projection and paranoia are fairly common when one attempts to confront delusion. The confronter almost always becomes incorporated into the delusional "plot" in the eyes of the paranoid (that is why so many on the Left accuse Right-leaning bloggers of being "paid off" by the Republicans or that they are merely regurgitating the "talking points" of thw Administration--as if we don't have independent thinking faculties that have logically brought us to the same conclusions).
Tell me that after the nukes.
If you're a rich lib who's never worked a day in his life, or a poor Dem who's never worked a day in his life, then it's very true that terrorism is irrelevant to you.
I'm disappointed.
Michael Moore, the fat pig moron that he is, and all the lefties for that matter, pretend there is no threat so they can discredit President Bush. Heck, Clinton pretended there was no terrorist threat while they were killing our citizens and soldiers! Worked for him!
Because the leftists are firm allies of islamic terror. Ever heard the saying "Satan's greatest accomplishment was convincing people that he didn't exist?"
The left wants to convince us that radical islamic jihadis that want to kill you and murder your family and destroy the American way of life don't exist.
So I guess that little 9/11 thing was just an illusion and the buildings and all the people are still there and all their families still have dinner on the table every night and their children aren't orphans etc., and everyone is still all happy right?
