That's a kind generous and hopeful sentiment--to think the best of one's fellow man will rise up the reality of the moment and pursue the good instead of the bad. Given the abysmal record of the Democrats on matters of national security in the years leading up to and since 9-11, however, it strikes me as an utterly misplaced and naive hope.
"...it strikes me as an utterly misplaced and naive hope."
It's not a hope. It's reality. As much as the libs rant and rave, they don't have the power to overcome reality. Reality is a sobring thing, you know. It's one thing to make outragous statements when you've got no power, but yet another to actually run things when you are in power.
