Goldsmith argues that the President is retaining the practices of the Bush administration while prettying up the practice field. He contends that making it more palatable for his own party is somehow a better terror tactic.
The problem lies in the direction to which President Obama would practice those more palatable terror tactics. So far as far as the guns, bibles and whatever else then candidate Obama slammed about the life style of a whole lot of America are concerned, he is following through by making the fight against domestic terror more palatable. Only instead of checking out the real terror supporters, (check out Code Pink in Falluja, Iraq or the illegitimate documentation and legitimizing of foreign nationals called motor-voter), now the State of Missouri among others will be checking out any dissenting statements made on line. I really don’t care that the president has determined despite all the fuss and muss, that what President Bush did was legal after all, I am interested in how the president intends to use his newly blessed intra-state-extra-supra-police-powers. I suppose I would be more relaxed if only visions of Waco and the kidnapping of that Cuban Kid weren’t so fresh in my memory of abuse of constitutional powers. Lain against the backdrop of the contractors on that bridge, whose murderers were the recipients of Humanitarian Aide from Code Pink, you really expect anyone to be cool with any power in this presidents hands? To be alright with power in the hands that shook the Venezuelan dictators hands in a sign of solidarity, the hands that long to hold the Cuban dictators hands in equal regard, just like Code Pink has done. Do you really think the hands that ache to be embraced by the Iranian Mullahs are the same hands I would entrust that kind of power to?
You must be out of your ever loving mind, Benj, or what may be worse, you believe I am. It is a good thing we have checks and balance built in to the system.
Israeli PM Netanyahu has a lot of friends in the United States of America. It is more than a shame America’s president is not one of them.
