Delahunt’s Zinger

"It was shameful that we didn't do anything. I can't explain it," says the GOP member.

Not the least bit surprising to me. The GOP in congress is too busy keeping their heads down and trying to hold on to their positions and maintain their ability to milk the system rather than try anything such as leadership.

[SuziQ]

Work to get Republicans elected to replace these spineless GOP weenies. Candidates who WILL stand up to the likes of Delahunt.

Delahunt also said on the Great One’s show that waterboarding did not produce valuable information even when Mark challenged him about Khalid Sheik Muhammad.

Republicans should be demanding recourse and exposing this, as well as apologizing to Mr. Addison

Yes. But did the Pubbies leave because they feared an upcoming confrontation that they'd rather avoid? If so, as bad as sitting there and saying nothing.

Delahunt is a POS.

"You have to understand, guys like Delahunt, really all of the Democrats here, don't care about winning the war against the terrorists, or keeping us safe. They might have cared after 9/11, but now they are ruled by the radical left. All they care about now is putting the Americans who put in place the policies that have kept us safe for seven years on trial. The terrorists just don't matter to this crowd," says a former Department of Justice lawyer. "And if the American people and Republicans understood this, the sooner we'd be seeing a different election."

How can this be credited? Are we actually to believe that men at the pinnacle of power in America, United States Representatives, the living embodiment of the establishment, men and women who have worked ceaselessly to claw their way into these positions of power, would now risk it all and stand aside as the enemies of their country tear apart the very apparatus which gives them power? How can we believe this? That is not to credit them with patriotism but merely to credit them with cynical self-interest.

The charge is really breathtaking. Could it be that something greater than even self-preservation animates their behavior? Why would they risk seeing themselves go down even with the ship of state? How can they so placidly contemplate an American Armageddon?

Sometime ago FrontPage Magazine offered an analysis Saul Alinsky and his blueprint for the destruction of America as laid down in Rules for Radicals. The authors there suggest that Barak Obama is an acolyte of Alinsky, indeed he dedicated years of his life to putting into practice Alinsky's methods. A reading of the article which appears here, http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=D6E27ECE-9798-4F01-A378-3F1405F69704 uncannily parallels the biography and modus operandi of Barak Hussein Obama

The frightening part of all this is in connection with this context: Alinsky believes that America must be destroyed so that his vision can be put into place. Is that not and the likely consequence of what has been suggested in the first paragraph quoted above? In other words, the vision of these people on the left, even in Congress, is no less apocalyptic than the one outlined below which describes Alinsky.

Having painted a verbal portrait of a thoroughly corrupt and melancholy American society, Alinsky was now prepared to argue that wholesale change of great magnitude was in order. What was needed, he said, was a revolution in whose vanguard would be radicals committed to eliminating the “fundamental causes” of the nation’s problems,[22] and not content to merely deal with those problems’ “current manifestations”[23] or “end products.”[24] The goal of the radical, he explained, must be to bring about “the destruction of the roots of all fears, frustrations, and insecurity of man, whether they be material or spiritual”;[25] to purge the land of “the vast destructive forces which pervade the entire social scene”;[26] and to eliminate “those destructive forces from which issue wars,” forces such as “economic injustice, insecurity, unequal opportunities, prejudice, bigotry, imperialism, … and other nationalistic neuroses.”[27]

I'm coming to the belief that we are dealing with a psychic pathology. That means that logic has no effect on the state of mind of these revolutionaries. Incidentally, it also goes a long way to explaining a conundrum that has puzzled many posters here on Free Republic: why do so many Jewish liberals vote and behave in a manner inconsistent with the security of Israel?

It certainly means, if true, we are dealing with a very sinister threat. One that is even more dangerous because merely to raise the question will generate charges of racism and/or McCarthyism and immunize these revolutionaries. On the one hand, these revelations will be ignored to death by the mainstream media and, on the other hand, when mentioned, these charges will be dismissed as the ravings of racists or McCarthyites.

These guys don’t misspeak. They know exactly what they’re saying, and mean every word.

Delahunt of Mass. hopes Addington gets whacked. And his soul brother Fagan in the MA State leg wants carte blanche to declare total war on 6-year olds on behalf of rapists’ rights to keep raping children.

They know what they’re doing and saying. They’re terrorists. They need to be treated as terrorists.

It is very difficult for normal people to understand a movement which operates under the rule, "Think of it always, speak of it never".

They've kept their eyes on the prize, all these years. They've never been this close, so close they can almost feel their man's hand touching the Bible next January, and speaking the lie, "I swear to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America".
