There are those who claim doom and gloom for Republicans in the November elections. I don't believe it. What I saw during the Bush 2004 campaign is still out there: there are people who get it! They understand that if bombs are going off around us nothing else will matter. It won't matter if we have protection for the horned owl if we don't have protection for ourselves and our children.
A good read in the Los Angeles Daily Post shows that attitude has not changed. Paul Kujawsky, author of the article, is a Democrat activist and a member of the California Democratic Party Central Committee. The article, titled "Liberal 'base' emboldens Republicans" begins with:
IN the 1960s, my sister was part of the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley. She was arrested in a civil rights sit-in. Naturally, she was a lifelong Democrat.
Today, she is a “9-11 Republican.” She is not alone.
My sister is no less committed to civil rights than before. But she believes that not being murdered by Islamist terrorists is also an important civil right. She is not sure that the Democratic Party completely agrees with her.
For 9-11 Republicans, this is the most significant political issue. The GOP “gets it,” while the Democratic Party doesn't."
