"Why is it that the supposedly weak and "pussified" liberals look like farking Rambos compared to conservatives as fast as terrorism is mentioned?"
In the middle of a big ol' flamewar on Fark, someone asked this question. And it's a damn good one.
Big cities - New York, LA, Chicago, DC, etc...they're the most likely targets of terrorists, but also the loudest to speak out against restrictions on liberty in the name of "fighting terrorism."
Meanwhile, the people in Mississippi and Utah and the backwards motherfuckers upstate, they're the hardliners.
Why does someone in Butte, Montana vote Bush because "Bush is strong on terra" while I, living in suburban NJ and working in downtown NYC, the biggest terrorist target on the planet, vote against Bush because in many ways, his anti-terror brigade infringes on my rights.
