Why can't Liberals understand history. Liberals don't think we need to always be defending our freedom. When in fact there is no basis what so ever to conclude that our very exsistance is always threatened. No human has existed in a state of individual freedom without defending it. This has been true since the dawn of humanity with out exception. Why liberals do not undestand this simple fact of human nature is frighting. When Regan defeted the Soviet Union ending the cold war the liberals said " the threat is gone and we could now cut defense spending and significantly reduce our military. Given the fact that freedom is always threatened one can only question the lack of basic intelligence of these people. The war in Iraq is not just "a war in Iraq" It is the ongoing never ending battle to protect our freedom. If not Iraq we would be fighting a war of some kind somewhere else. And if we ever allow our national defense to become incapable of defeating any and all threats. Our way of life will cease exist we only have to fail one time then it is over there will be no going back. Liberals think that this cannot happen. And that is dangerous. They think that by laying down our weapons those who want to take away our freedom will not do so. They coud not be more wrong and that  is indisputable. There is not one case in all of history where a free people layed down their arms and the result was continued freedom and peace. People existing with a measure of personal freedom have done so only as long as they could defend themselves. Liberals have lived in this country all their lives in total saftey never threatened and cannot comprehend or understand the concept that their freedom can be lost and they could be enslaved and or killed. Liberals consider themselves "enlightened and intellectual" they are neither. The fact is they do not posses the intelligence to grasp this most basic of aspect of human nature.
