A terrorist act is an act of war. When did prosecution of enemy operatives in civilian courts become our response to war? Since Clinton, of course. Don't you expect better from Bush and Ashcroft? Apparently not. You probably think those two are conservatives. What a hoot. I'll clue you in on something; the DoJ wasn't created to protect us from anything. It was set up to prosecute those who violate federal law. If Ashcroft is our front line of defense, we're doomed.
Here's an accusation: Ashcroft's first few cases, inherited from Clinton were the IBT seizure and the McVeigh motion for a stay. He handled both situations exactly as Reno had handled her cases, that is, he hewed to the Clinton line. What do you say about those cases? The IBT case was what earned him the moniker "Janet Ashcroft" among FReepers. Defend that one.
It most certainly is not ridiculous to observe that Ashcroft was fairly slavering over the Patriot bill. He wanted it desperately. Post a quote from him in opposition to that piece of tyrannical dreck if you can. You assume that I'm talking about equal rights under the law for aliens. I'm not. Aliens don't have a right to access to our courts in all cases. If they have violated the terms of their visas, they have no right to anything but a deportation hearing, no trial, no delays, no bail. If aliens are charged with terrorist acts of war against us, they have no right to a trial in our civilian courts, but only a trial by a military tribunal. That leaves Ashcroft, our "defender" out of the loop, doesn't it? It's absurd for you to even mention the DoJ and national defense in the same breath.
Ahscroft and Danforth are two peas in a pod. Both are publicly professing Christians who have made careers of politics. Danforth most certainly did cover for Clinton's DoJ with his sham of an investigation on the Waco FLIR evidence. I suppose you were busy on some Bush photo swoonfest thread for the week or so that Danforth's fraud was being discussed here. I'm a Christian and the public displays both those two frauds make of their Christianity offends me.
I won't respond to your dimwited attempt at insult, other than to say that I'm what you wish you could fool more people into thinking you are: a conservative. GOP pompom shakers are never conservatives.
Call me whatever names you like. You just reveal the weakness of your case when you do. You're right, I have a right to freely speak my mind on political issues. That right is protected from action by the government, not from other citizens. You're free to try to shut me up any time you think you're able. FRmail me and I'll give you directions to my house.
Reagan man indeed. Ahaha.
From your remarks, it's quite clear, you support an agenda that has nothing in common with either mainstream America, or mainstream conservatism. You're an easily recognizable extremist, floating on the fringe of American political reality. So be it.
Like I said earlier, ... you're anti-Bush, anti-Ashcroft, anti-religous freedom, anti-Republican and anti-conservative too. I still consider your remarks un-American and you still sound like a liberal Democrat, a libertarian anarchist, or some [other] form of dangerous subversive nut case.
You're free to try to shut me up any time you think you're able. FRmail me and I'll give you directions to my house.
LMAO!
I don't get back east to often anymore, but if you're ever in Colorado Springs, look me up punk.
Heck with THAT.
Standing OVATION!!!
