Clancy on Conservatives v. Liberals

Happened across this quote yesterday.

Author Tom Clancy, on The O'Reilly Factor, following the events of September 11, 2001:

"The general difference between conservatives and liberals is that liberals like pretty pictures and conservatives like to build bridges that people can drive across. And conservatives are indeed conservative because if the bridge falls down then people die, whereas the liberals figure, we can always build a nice memorial and make people forget it ever happened and was our fault. They're very good at making people forget it was their fault. All right?

"The CIA was gutted by people on the political left who don't like intelligence operations... And as a result of that, as an indirect result of that, we've lost 5,000 citizens last week."

I remember seeing this interview. I remember being engrossed.
