Last Sunday, former Vice President Al Gore spoke before the Jiddah Economic Forum. He told the mostly Saudi audience that the United States had committed "terrible atrocities" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He stated that Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up" and detained in "unforgivable conditions." He criticized America's new immigration policy, which more carefully scrutinizes Saudi visas, explaining, "The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake." Finally, he concluded, "There have been terrible abuses, and it's wrong. … I want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country."
These are outrageous statements. And the silence from the left is deafening. The Democratic National Committee told me that they had not released a statement regarding Gore's speech and had no plans to do so. The New York Times editorial board, the official outlet of the American left, wrote nary a word about the speech.

At some point, opposition must be considered disloyal. At some point, the American people must say "enough." At some point, Republicans in Congress must stop delicately tiptoeing with regard to sedition and must pass legislation to prosecute such sedition.

Yes.
No. The next president is likely to be a democrat, and would love to charge everyone on this site with sedition. Don't set the precedent.
I'd settle for just prosecuting treason. We can deal with sedition after that.
"Yes."
Heartily Agree.
It sure would make a lot of big mouthed politicians think twice about trashing our country.
YES!!! BRING BACK HUAC!!
Exactly! I think back on some of the things that were said here about Clinton (and during wartime!(Kosovo). President Hilary would love to prosecute people on this site.
It is not even a question.
It is a duty!
YES, absolutely, and this Gore tirade is the place to start. He is a traitor.
I agree with that!
"The next president is likely to be a democrat, and would love to charge everyone on this site with sedition. Don't set the precedent."
I don't think that the next President would be a Dem but I agree with you that it would be a bad precident that would come back to haunt us. The bar needs to be set a lot higher than words.
There was no such committee called HUAC. It was the HCUA. Besides, you better be careful what you wish for. Speaker Nancy Pelose would love a reborn HCUA. She'd probably start by calling you and other freepers to the stand.
No we shouldn't. We should wait until our cities are burning.

without question.
Throw that turd in jail once and for all.
Of course, the liberal press and Dems will call it another abuse of power, not to mention all the heads exploding at DU on MoveOn.
Look it up, it's an amazing history very selectively forgotten by the left.
Gore is an insignificant shell of a man. I'd put Jimmy Carter in that rank also. THis is America. You can say anything you want factual or otherwise. Leave these people alone...They would love the media attention...ie Just ignore them...
