This is just the very beginning of the liberal press blaming Bush for the terrorist hits. In our small town weekly, a political science professor from the private, liberal arts college here (known for its leftist leanings and one of the first small schools to start a women's study program which eventually made it a star attraction to lesbian students) was interviewed and spouted off the most amazing crap that was actually printed on the front page yesterday.

The gist of it was that this is all Bush's fault. Quotes:

"If it turns out to have been orchestrated by a Middle Eastern source, it may have grave things to say about U.S. foreign policy - especially that of the Bush administration."

"The administration is seen as tilting too much toward Israel and as caring too little about the Palestinians."

"When a recent poll revealed President Bush's unpopularity in Europe, the American media brushed it off, but that was the wrong attitude."

"...these attacks would be used in Congress to promote jingoist foreign policies and a missile defense initiative - even though missile defense wouldn't have been relevant in the attack."

And on and on. Between reading that and seeing Clinton on teevee in New York hugging and kissing weeping people on the street, I was so furious I could not fall asleep last night. I laid awake for hours fuming at this stupidity. Also, I attend graduate school at a Big 10 university and at a research team meeting yesterday, one of my professors actually said that she suspected that their WAS intelligence available about the attacks but that the Bush administration allowed them to proceed in order to shore up their budget requests for more military and CIA funding. I was speechless. Of course, she has admitted that she is a Marxist, so what else can you expect.

Even worse, she knows I am a Republican, and made a point of walking up to me during a break asking if I thought there may be problems between any of the doctoral students who are Americans and the several Middle Eastern students we have in the program. Her message was clear, she probably thought I was going to send them hateful emails or something. The truth is, we have 3 students from Jordon and 1 from Pakistan. They are all good friends of mine - her statements were ridiculous and insulting. Is the liberal mind REALLY that stupid???? Their belief in the worst stereotype of conservatives must be pervasive and deep. It's something we need to take seriously.

I was speechless.

Find your voice and you'll sleep better tonight. You have my prayers.

You typed:"The administration is seen as tilting too much toward Israel and as caring too little about the Palestinians."

I know these aren't YOUR words, but I wanted to point something out. It seems that just a month or so ago, the liberals where chanting that the GWB administration was spending too little effort to help the Israelis. Now I have no problem with the Israelis, but seems the liberals have EXTREMELY short memories.
