Less than a week after seven aspiring Muslims were arrested in Florida as they plotted a massive terror attack on Chicago's Sears Tower, hardly a word of the story can be found anywhere in the "mainstream" media. Nor was the event treated as earth-shattering news when it first broke.

Of course the liberal political machine and its media accomplices seek to downplay the horrific possibilities suggested by the incident, since doing so would not further their cause. The safety and security of the United States is clearly not high on their list of priorities, unless of course they think they can claim credit for improving the situation.

Throughout the Cold War, which was the last major threat to the future of Western Civilization, leftists ardently sought to undermine and ultimately to destroy any cultural and societal firewalls that might stand in the way of communist world dominance.

Fortunately for them, certain crucial institutions of the much-reviled "establishment" were unwavering in their dedication to the preservation of the American way of life, and communism was thus defeated. Leftists yet remain completely oblivious to the fact that, in the process, their own interests were being preserved and protected as well.

From Vietnam to Nicaragua to the massive American presence in Western Europe, this country's efforts to thwart and stall the advance of communist tyranny proved to be the chief means by which Soviet dreams of world conquest were held in check.

Yet so far were these battles from American soil, and so obscured from the lives of the common citizen in this country were any accounts of the squalor and oppression inherent in communist states that liberals remained blissfully ignorant of the Pandora's box they were attempting to open. They remain so to this day.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, they have successfully mutated their virulent anti-American philosophies by which they had justified the barbarism of communism, into a belief that no matter what enemy this country faces, it must be inherently more morally and philosophically legitimate than any vestige of traditional America.

Hence the country is ceaselessly subjected to their rationalization and sanitization of the murderous brutality of the Islamists, while concurrently they reserve such words as "torture" and "cruelty" for their condemnation of Abu Ghraib prison and the terrorist prison at Guantanamo.

However, such abominable political posturing from the left may (and on some grim day, likely will) very literally blow up in their faces. Though the Cold War threat was massive, its architects were orderly and methodical in their efforts. Thus, even at the height of the Vietnam era, the American homeland remained relatively safe and secure.

In contrast, news that the latest target of the Islamists was the Sears Tower in Illinois, which is among the "bluest" of the blue states, should open the eyes of even the most dogmatic liberals to the indiscriminate nature of this threat. Despite their erudite and enlightened philosophies, the hatred and violence of the Islamists is no less directed at them.
