I have been away for awhile. When Obama was elected I was disheartened, to say the least. Pundits claimed that when elected, President Obama would be more centrist than expected. So I waited to write anything. Now the truth is evident. Obama has acted quickly to enact his liberal agenda. His actions have already begun the destruction of what has been built to save this country from islamofascism.
Within a very short time, Khalid Duhham Al-Jawary will be released from federal prison. This is the man, who in 1973 planted bombs in rental cars around Manhattan near Israeli targets. Fortunately the bombs didn’t explode. Unfortunately, Al-Jawary escaped. He was caught in the 1990’s and sentenced to 30 years in prison. But, now, only about 15 years later, he is being released on “good behavior”. President Obama could choose to intervene, but he hasn’t.
Also, a Saudi who was released from Guantanamo Bay went to Yemen as a leader of a terror group. To the surprise of some, terrorists don’t just change their opinions and behavior because they have been contained for a short period of time.
In the case of Al-Jawary, we see the result of trying terrorists within our criminal justice system. A man who not only tried to kill thousands in New York City but who also is believed to have had a role in the bombing of a TWA flight in 1974 (killing 88 people) ands several other terrorist attacks is being released on good behavior.
In the second case, we see that even when we have terrorists contained in Gitmo, we still can’t let them go haphazardly. Opening the gates will create utter devastation in our country and in the world.
This is a prelude to the future. Our new President has signed executive orders to close Guantanamo Bay. He has also signed an order to prevent “harsh interrogation”. From this point on, those who are trying to protect us from terrorists will only be able to use techniques included in the Army Field Manual. That means we will be helpless against terrorists. The Army Field Manual is based on the Geneva Conventions. Those rules apply to solders who are representing a specific government and who are in uniform. Terrorists are neither. We can’t try these evil people in federal prisons under criminal law because they haven’t been given their Miranda rights on the battle field. None of what they say can be admitted as evidence.
Despite the realities we are facing and the backing down from resolve to defeat terrorists, John D. Hudson, retired admiral and law school dean (the latter says it all) is confident that the administration will come up with an alternative solution to keeping Gitmo open. He admits he doesn’t know, yet, what that solution will be. This is how liberals think and this is just another liberal Pie-In-Sky-Solution (PISS) to a real problem that they have no idea how to manage.
The Democrats don’t even know what harsh techniques are…but the terrorists do. They kill thousands of people in the name of their religion and they even kill themselves. President Obama stated that “We believe that we can abide by a rule that says that ‘we don’t torture but we can effectively gain the intelligence we need’”. Yet another liberal Pie-In-Sky-Solution. Yet another fantasy. President Obama should talk with former President Jimmy Carter about that kind of fantasy and how well they worked with Iran.
How is it possible that we will ever be able to defend ourselves when our Commander-in-Chief is tying the hands of those responsible for protecting us. This is worse than the four years of cowardice overseen by President Carter.
Many of the policies and procedures put in place by the Bush administration are going to be dismantled by a man who has no ideas what he is doing. He has no military experience. He has very little real life experience in general. Despite all the abuse put upon president Bush, at least he was in the military and was able to fly a jet aircraft. President Obama apparently couldn’t even fly a kite. The fact that we now have a Commander-in-Chief with such little real life experience is pathetic, especially when we are in the middle of the greatest war we have faced up until now.
During the election and during the build up to the inauguration, and during the inaugural speech itself, many of us asked what Obama meant by the term “change”. Some of us were worried that we knew but hoped we were wrong. Now the question has been answered. “Change” equals creating an America that is a liberal fascist state…a state not that different from pre-World War II Germany.
E.J. Dionne, Jr. (Washington Post, 1/22) made a very good point. He stated that the extent to which those on the left and right both claim that President Obama is on their side is a very bad sign. Paraphrasing Dionne, the evidence so far is a sign of a lack of integrity in our new leader. Agree or not, we know who President Bush is. President Obama lacks that integrity. That allowed him to win the election and it will lead to the weakening of our nation.
But it is too late. The election is over and President Obama is in office. Now have to deal with it. That means standing fast to conservative ideals.
As a veteran, I will respect the position of Commander-in-Chief. I cannot respect a man who has done everything possible in the course of 100 hours to destroy the country that allowed him to be President.
This is happening fast. I waited all this time to see what he would do. Now I have to begin writing again. Clearly, President Obama is instituting liberal fascism in America.
Good luck to all of us and may God bless us all.
