Why would you ask a question like that? What does it have to do with this case? Where would you get the idea that I think we shouldn't give "special attention" to people who are in this country on visas from suspected terrorist countries? Talk about a leap!
Or should we have only investigated them after acts of sabotage and assasinations where there was direct "courtroom" proof of their guilt?
Are you reading the same thread as I am commenting on? I have addressed comments by people who think that a man who is accused of rape has no rights whatsoever because he is from a middle eastern country. I didn't write the constitution, it gives everyone who is accused certain rights. If you don't like it , then attack the founders, not me.
This guy isn't being held as a terrorist, he is being charged with rape. If he is found guilty, I would be in favor of the highest possible punishment.
If he turns out to be a terrorist as well, then treat him as you would any other foreigner who is suspected of that. As far as that goes, it wouldn't bother me one iota to revoke the visas of anyone or any group of people who are here only with our permission. But that isn't the topic of this thread, at least it didn't start out that way, and surely not when I made my comments regarding constitutional protections and the rule of law.
You have leapt to a conclusion, that usually leads to an incorrect comment. As is the case with your post.
Would you list what rights have been taken from you ? Post it on another thread or FReepmail it to me .
I believe you owe the courtesy of replying to a couple of other folks here also .
I'll wait my turn but I also want the list .
I owe you nothing. And the idea that I have been treated courteously by anyone here is preposterous.
I'll wait my turn but I also want the list .
Your turn may be a long time comming.
If you want a list of freedoms lost, go read the "Patriot act".
I'm guessing you can't explain why the constitution applies to you but not other US citizens. Like the rest.
If the pod fits, put it on your head.
But you will send me the list of dozens of rights that you have lost since 9-11 right ?
200K, not 200M
Great post and awesome response from My Fav. Headache. I can't wait to catch up on the latest. Are the Feebs all over this jackel? The Homeland Security Dept?
He said he was bored with us and that he was leaving a few post back, but I guess he has no other life, so he stays and continue to pester like a gnat.
Hey TJ, whats up. Oh I know, the constitution and your rights.
Stay vigilant.
Thanks for the ping, nutmeg.
Great work MFH!
But what does all that have to do with this case in Florida, directly? The privileges of citizens are different than the privileges of foreign visitors. At least, they're supposed to be. We have it backwards these days, though. Maussoui (sp?), the "20th hijacker," is a foreign national and gets a regular trial in court, and Jose Padilla, a US citizen (someone who probably shouldn't have gotten citizenship - if we had listened to one of the real Thomas Jefferson's warnings) is given a military tribunal. That's backwards. If we scrap what bit of the Constitution is still hanging by a thread, in order to "win the War on Terrorism," then we've lost it all.
But this Marco Island rapist should have been booted from our country a long time ago. There's a 12yr-old girl in FL who would be a lot better off today if he had been. One of the causes of 9/11 is the modern American belief that any culture is as good as any other culture. Thomas Jefferson knew that wasn't true, as did all his colleagues.
I think there is a link here. Virgins as their heavenly reward. He was going on his mission?
Has anyone unmask the owner of the hotel, Mort Olshan? Sciff, Skip, Skin???freeper was doing a search. Humidston looked at the Houston Olshans. I found Olshan Realty in NYC, but owner agent was a fairly young woman - daughter?
I will also be calling CAIR to see what the they will say about this. I listed their contact info a few posts back. Everyone, please call them!
A lot of money could be made by someone buying up property cheap after the WTC attack, and selling later as the city rebuilds. I'd love to see their transactions immediately prior to, and since, 9-11. Remember, there was LOTS of short-selling of airline stocks at the time.
