PROSECUTING PATRIOTS: THE LEFT'S LOVE OF SHOW TRIALS
NY Post ^ | April 23, 2009 | Ralph Peters

Posted on 04/23/2009 2:32:36 AM PDT by Scanian

WITH the ugly sanctimony of those who never had to make hard decisions, the American left demands show trials of those who kept us safe after 9/11. Wrapping themselves in repugnant self-righteousness, the MoveOn.org set wants political prosecutions. Should President Obama acquiesce, he won't be furthering the rule of law, but dismantling it.

Show trials have long been popular with leftists. Those who don't conform to each jot of doctrine become "enemies of the people." From Stalin down to Putin, and from Mao to Castro, vengeance disguised as law has been a mega-hit.

Those on the left don't want justice. If they did, they'd be protesting the murderous torture prevalent in Iran, the Gaza Strip, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela and Russia. Instead, our leftists want us to show the leaders of those terror states more respect.

The left is out for revenge. It always is. Hatred of those who think differently is the left's unifying principle. Leftists don't need God, but they see devils everywhere.

When President-for-Life Hugo Chavez called President George W. Bush "el Diablo," our leftists agreed. Hatred of the last administration grew so irrational that any terrorist, no matter how monstrous, became no more than a victim of Bush-Cheney.

“Leftists don’t need God, but they see devils everywhere.”

The Left hate GOD and people who love GOD. What does that make them?

Funny how 0bama denounces America’s humane interrogation techniques as “illegal torture” and yet he laughs it up with his new pals Chavez, Noriega, and Castro who all have long records of very real and brutal torture.

What message is he really sending?

And by redefining America’s softball interrogation techniques as “torture” doesn’t that trivialize and diminish the real horror that these regimes engage in?

Could that be 0bama’s real aim?

I saw this question posted over at Hillbuzz earlier tonight. I....cannot answer it, myself.

““If Obama were a Manchurian candidate or Muslim sleeper agent, and his mission were to demoralize and destroy America and deliver us into the hands of our enemies, and to do this as quickly but as smoothly as possible, WHAT WOULD HE BE DOING ANY DIFFERENT?”

You’re correct—every move seems calculated to bring down the country he hates.

If anybody tells me he is a democrat, even former friends, I now ask “Why” and walk away.

“Should President Obama acquiesce, he won’t be furthering the rule of law, but dismantling it.”

this is the mistake everyone is making. We have elected Ramsay Clark as President, and that’s probably the better side of his nature.

As Ralph Peters said:

The left has nothing against torture. It just wants to choose the victims.

And naturally, any hater of the US is a friend of the left, and any decent American is their enemy and deserves torture, or at least a show trial and personal destruction.

I decided we can make our last stand in rural west Texas. The counties of King, Knox, Cottle, Stonewall, Shackelford, Faord, Motley and Baylor would be perfect. We should all move to these uber rural counties right now.

BTW- King County gave more than 93% of its few votes to McCain and fewer than 5% for Obama. The most Republican County in America.

Reminds me of all the Germans that were not a Nazi when the US and Russian tanks rolled over Eine Volk, Ein Fuhrer, Ein Reich.

And those 5% must have been the village idiots.

Good question - I can’t think of anything either.

We seriously need to plan! Things are not going well in America. I don’t see another peaceful transfer of power in the USA!

All I can say is if this happens I’m going to beyond angry.

If the left wants riots in the streets they just may get them.

Bush was warned that this was a probability.

Bush was told to issue a blanket pardon to cover his people.

Bush is the only one who deserves to stand trial for this issue.

I would not lift a finger to stand in support of the man who destroyed his party and country. Anything the left wants to prosecute him for, I say have at it.

TARP works for me. It has turned into a criminal enterprise.
