George "Hang'em High" Bush How stupid do our so-called "elected representatives" think we are? President Bush wants to form a lynch mob (military tribunal) to try terrorists, and the best the (alleged) "opposition" can come up with is some tired old knee-jerk left-wing civil liberties drivel. Holy obfuscation, Batman! If there is any question that the Bill of Rights was intended to secure the rights of "the people" against abuse/intrusion by "the government," read the preamble to the resolution offering the proposed amendments to Congress; to wit: "The conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added, and as extending the ground of public confidence in the government will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution, be it resolved..." The problem is, President Bush's attempt to form a lynch mob via executive decree, notwithstanding, government controlled courts have long since made a mockery of the Bill of Rights via "judicial interpretation," thereby rendering all this civil liberties nonsense moot. You self-serving later-day liberals can give that "beyond a reasonable doubt" stuff a rest, too. Everyone knows that, if it served the purpose of it's political masters, the Federal Bureau of Investigation could "produce" clear and convincing evidence that the September 11th attacks had been planned and executed by a Girl Scout Troop from Podunk Junction, Arkansas. Gimmie a break, guys, we're not brain dead! It doesn't take Rhodes Scholar to figure out that the reason none of you really want to bring these clowns to trial is that the evidence might prove embarrassing (to say the very least) to you and your rich and powerful masters. A public trial, on the merits, in open court, would involve testimony and evidence with regard to the FUNDING behind Islamic terrorism. It might reveal which allegedly friendly countries, like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, are buying popular approval in the Arab world by subsidizing Islamic terrorist/fundamentalist schools and organizations, which businesses are kissing up to the Oil Sheiks by making donations to their favorite "charities," and which American politicians are raking in campaign contributions from all concerned. That wouldn't do at all. |
