I'm east of you in sleepy, peaceful Lancaster County, Pennsylvania....you know the place....we're one of only about twenty (20) counties in the state who went heartily for Rick Santorum; just not heartily enough. On Tuesday, November 7, 2006, I was amazed at the infiltration into this very county of, well I just don't know how else to say it, uninformed, left-leaning voters. I worked at the polls for nine (9) plus hours. I knew before the day was out that we were going to lose our one (1) truly good Senator. And I knew it by virtue of the numbers of new voters who were unashamedly voting for Bob Casey, Jr..
What still astounds me is the fact that Rick Santorum knows and regularly speaks about this very real threat. I have to conclude that too many in this seemingly safe, quiet little world simply do NOT want to listen to the bad news...don't want their days interrupted with anything negative; even if hearing and acting on that negative could literally save their lives. Sadly, I believe we are going to be hit again, and far worst even than we were on 9/11; unless our President hits them first in Iran!
Thank you for the post!!

too many in this seemingly safe, quiet little world simply do NOT want to listen to the bad news...You said it right: seemingly safe. Unfortunately, the only thing that will wake these people up is another attack. And unfortunately, they just voted into power the party that will enable the next attack on America.
In my opinion, there are three things that must be done to counter this threat:
1. Military force, as in Iraq.
2. A massive campaign to counter the liars in the leftists media. (Something about a hundred times more focused than the Pap on Fox.)
3. Openly telling the truth about Islam.
If we don't do all three of these things we will be lost.
My screen name actually comes from my maternal bloodlines: 2 of my ancestors fought in I Co., 83rd PA during the War of Rebellion. Santorum is definitely a visionary and he will be back. In what capacity I am not sure, but look at Churchill. He and any other have a long way to go to be the next Churchill but you get the gist. Unfortunately our society has become one of quick, self-gratification and the general populace has been lulled to sleep by the liberals, socialists, Marxists, et al that there is no real threat but it's been invented by the neo-cons. These Lefties will be the first to line up for aid or moan to the sky about "How could this happen?" when it does.
