The American people have already witnessed the leading conservatives inside and outside of congress along with conservatives in the news media desire to see President Obama's policies fail. They have stated that over and over again and really want to see America fail. A successful America under a democratic President is unthinkable to them. Their ideology continues to be anti-American on the subject.
Now we see a darker side to those conservatives concerning the failed attempt to blow up a Northwest flight bound for Detroit on Christmas day. This dark side was exposed during Bush's term in office when he and members of his administration used scare tactics in promoting a war with Iraq over WMD that did not exist. The conservatives went out in full force accusing the Obama administration for failing to protect America and even suggested the President was soft on fighting terror and that he did not believe we were at war with the terrorists. The conservatives have for years used the talking point that they themselves can protect America better than democrats. The tragic events of 9-11 and the Iraq war proved them wrong but they believe repeating the same lie over and over will become the truth. That is known as the "Karl Rove tatic."
Those conservatives see and understand that the Obama administration has done a better job of protecting and keeping America safe in the first 11 months in office than George Bush did in his first 11 months in office. Conservatives would like nothing better than to see America attacked on the Presidents watch. They are drooling at the thought. In their warped mind it would prove Obama is weak on fighting the war on terror. It is another continuation of their anti American ideology.
Conservatives have also left the prosecution of most all the terrorists held in prison to the Obama administration. Mr. Bush and the conservative so called tough talk want nothing to do with that. They just passed the buck for seven years and will now oppose the Presidents plans to prosecute those people. Their ideology has cast aside the American ideals and what the country has stood for through-out history. That says it all.
