OPINION -- For the protection of the American people, the political left in America, from Illinois to Mississippi, and from Maine to California, must be stopped in the next election. If not, they may end up getting us all killed.
This is the theme of the opening chapter of Hugh Hewitt's commendable new book, If It's Not Close They Can't Cheat. But before I had even cracked it open I was already saying this on my radio show on a regular basis. Democrats are slow to realize it but this year, in the election cycle they need to be protected - even from themselves.
Just days ago, as first reported by the New York Daily News, The Fox News Channel, and the NYPD, Democratic activists have openly solicited disruptions of the GOP convention. They posted detailed instructions on the internet as to how to purposefully mislead security forces around the location of the convention in order to create chaos and confusion and purposefully thwart the anti-terrorism measures that are being put into place to keep the American people safe. These activists are doing so, knowing that the convention season has already been targeted as a prime opportunity for terrorist actions to be carried out.
The most insidious direct threat as reported by the Daily News included having activists spend a minimum of an hour at a gun shop, skeet range or target facility, then board a public train and head directly to the heart of the convention - Penn Station.
The activists were then instructed to loiter near the police dogs, even pet the dogs to try to allow the dogs to pick up the scent of the gun powder saturated into their clothes. The instructions said it would work best if there were multiple activists standing in the separate doorways of the train, so as to pick up multiple "positives" by the dogs.
Activists were also instructed to play dumb as long as possible and to try to see how much confusion and resources would be brought in before finally confessing that the gunpowder had gotten on the clothing at a shooting range.
"With any luck," the posting said, "Madison Square Garden will be evacuated."
Other ideas by the group included throwing bags of marbles under horse’s hooves as the horse patrol officers around the convention site. The marbles would cause the horses to lose their balance and create great pain. One other suggestion included shooting the horses with the marbles out of sling shots.
Those encouraging these efforts would desire our nation to be made weak and vulnerable just thirty blocks from the footprint of Ground Zero, all at the same time terrorists are already telling us they hope to attack during the convention season.
But it's not just the activists doing the damage. The man who now leads the Democratic party is gonna get us killed as well.
Last week, on the internationally broadcast Larry King Live show, John Kerry was asked, "News of the day, Tom Ridge warned today about Al-Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States...What's your reaction?"
Now keep in mind that Kerry was "squeezing in" Larry King between hair appointments and rushing over to Radio City Music Hall to embrace Whoopi Goldberg's monologue about the comparison of our President to the female sex organ as the belief that makes up "the heart and soul of our country."
His response to King?
"Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me. I just haven't had time."
He did not elaborate as to why he "didn't have time."
Though it would seem pretty obvious that the person who was wishing to be the next commander-in-chief of the war on terror would make time if necessary, to see to it that he knew what was being planned. At the very least he should want to know if the DNC convention itself is being targeted so he could make the weighty decisions necessary to help protect the Americans who will be gathered to support him.
Someone desiring to be commander-in-chief, who "just hasn't had time" to take advantage of security briefings that the Pentagon is under no obligation to offer him is a remarkably disturbing picture of Senator Kerry's priorities.
For the good of the nation, and for the good of themselves, Democrats need to be beaten in November because if not, they're gonna get us all killed!

This is RIght On! Ops4 God Bless America!
If any of these activists try these antics at the convention they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
It's worse than crying FIRE in a crowded theatre.
They are diverting police attention from what may be serious threats.

What does PETA have to say about this?
Isn't it wonderful what a BILLIONAIRES money can buy for the DEMO-RAT party? It's just a simple matter of knowing how to distribute all those MILLIONS without getting caught. Are any reporters following the billionaires money trail----NOT !!!!
Formerly Amusing, now Deadly,
Democrats are downright dangerous to our very life.
Their appeasement idiocy was bad enough in the ColdWar, but today their girly-man tendencies will result in waves of mall bombs, airliners falling from the sky and bussloads of schoolkids exploding on American soil.
Let's posit this here and now: Democrats will have blood on their hands when terrorists rush in to take advantage of a GOP defeat.
They've been uncharacteristically silent about THIS type of animal abuse, wouldn't you say?

I was forced offline over the last few days. Does anyone have a link to any of these cited sources? Specifically, the Fox article, the NY Daily News Article, and the NYPD as a source.

The death of us all will probably be politcal correctness.
We call terrorists as described in the above rant "activitists" when their stated goals are equal to, and an invitation for, a much more deadly sequence of events and are an invitation to declared enemies of christiantiy, democracy, and every election law ever writen based on our Constitutionally guided democratic republic.
Intentionally misleading a sniffer dog is no different then dissabling a security camera.
Plotting and carrying out a plan of tossing marbles or sling-shotting them at NYPD's horse brigade is no different than slashing the tires of police vehicles, cutting their brake lines or physically disabling one of it's systems.
While the stated goals of the "activitists" stop short of directly threatening lives, their activities say otherwise and do so in a childishly disguised manner to thwort any established law associated with their doings.
They are at the very least terrorists in training. If Bloomberg doesn't unleash the full force of NYPD, utilizing the Patriot Act against these morons, he should be the first one charged!
"Activists"? Amazing how the commies can rename something so facilly. These are THUGS.
