Liberals Always Right on Terrorism . . . until Mugged by Reality

Below are two paragraphs from Bernard Goldberg's Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right. From page 109.

If there is another 9/11--or worse--liberals will insist, "We were just trying to protect everyone's constitutional rights." Expect no mea culpas from the Left. Liberals, after all, are virtuous by definition. Which is why they never bear responsibility for the consequences of their actions. As far as they're concerned, nothing else needs to be said.
But let's say it anyway: If there is another terrorist attack on Americans, lots more reasonable Democrats will move to the right and enthusiastically support George Bush and his war on terror. A conservative, don't forget is a liberal who's been mugged by reality, as the saying goes. But rest assured that the true believers will never budge. In their world, George Bush is worse than the terrorists. That's their story and they're sticking to it.
