Liberals Don't Get It

Liberals like me "just don't get it", says Paul Hoffman (The Oregonian letters page, 2/8/06), and he is right. If, as Mr. Hoffman claims, radical Islam is the world's greatest terrorist threat, why then did President Bush invade the secular country of Iraq and create a training ground for future radical Islamic terrorists there? I don't get it.

I also don't get how you can decrease the deficit by increasing the deficit, or how you help more poor people by cutting programs to help poor people, or how a President can say wiretapping "requires a court order" (April 2004) at a time when he is actively wiretapping without a court order and not get impeached for breaking the law and lying about it.

Liberals just don't get it.
