Why do we find it hard to state the obvious?

Why do we find it so hard to state the obvious? Conservative Republicans are pro-war, pro-death and pro-violence. Regardless of what they tout from their lips, their actions are far from those words of “culture of life” and “pro-life.”

We’ve been through a major terrorist attack before 9/11 on American soil. That was Oklahoma City in April of 1995. We did not declare war like savage beasts in 1995. No, our police forces, FBI, and CIA did the job that they were supposed to do and found the individuals primarily responsible for carrying out this horrendous act, they were tried and found guilty, and paid the consequences for their actions.

Karl Rove touts that the Democrats were insane for thinking that the 9/11 terrorists should be treated the same way the Oklahoma City terrorist bombers were, and that declaring war on several countries is the better option.
