Fitna- We haven’t forgotten

I’m not holding my breath…

These America hating fools have their eyes closed to the REAL threat to free speech.

Like many in America, I have been focused on the presidential race.

But I have not forgotten…

To many of us, this election is all about remembering what radical Islam did to us.

Even though we may not speak much about it anymore.

One American political party wants to run-

Run as fast as they can away from the Middle East. They want to shake hands with the enemy. They want to talk with them because they believe the enemy doesn’t understand us.

The enemy does understand you…

They have studied you for quite some time.

Radical Islam believes:

It’s OK to throw homosexuals off of tall buildings, or beat them to death in the streets.

It is OK, and Allah approves of the beating and killing of women to restore family honor, because a woman spoke out, or didn’t dress properly.

And Allah is MOST happy when radical Islam is killing you- a Liberal.

The other political party believes we are winning this war on terror.

We MUST keep pressure on radical Islam and use every tool we have.

Military, political, and social.

We, (America, Britain, Canada, Australia, the Iraqi people, etc) we cannot invade EVERY country that harbors terrorists. Nor would we want to.

But we have drawn a line in the sand of two Middle Eastern deserts; Iraq and Afghanistan, and the enemy CANNOT push us back.

They have tried and they have failed.

Iran and al Qaeda have tried their best, but we still hold that line in the desert sands, five years and counting.

Politically, more countries are joining us. Maybe not on the battlefield, but they now see the threat of radical Islam. France and Germany, once completely opposed to US actions, are more sympathetic today.

Socially, people like Glenn Beck and Geert Wilde are making films that remind us how dangerous this enemy can be.

The world of Islam is trying to shut down free speech.

As quick as Geert Wilde’s film "Fitna" is placed on some video sharing sites, it is pulled down. Pulled because radical Islam is offended.

Moderate Muslims want the video pulled because they are afraid that you will get a bad impression of Islam.

Geee, I wonder why..??

Those who cry out about free speech, where are you today..??

Those who claim that the CIA is infringing on free speech by tapping known terrorists phones, you are of course going to speak out about Islam demanding that Fitna be taken down..??

I’m not holding my breath. These America hating fools have their eyes closed to the REAL threat to free speech.

Radical Islam is making futile attempts at keeping people in the dark.

But we are winning this war.

It will be won by force: military, political, and social force.

Part of that "social force" is done by us bloggers when we talk about radical Islam.

Geert Wilde, a Dutch politician, has done an exceptional job of making a film that will make people more aware.

I am placing both Part one and Part two of Fitna below. Both played this morning but I do not know how long YouTube will host the video. Islamic pressure and threats of violence has caused "Liveleak" and others to drop it.

Here are both parts of "Fitna."

Warning, this video is graphic.

"There are no hopeless situations; there are only men who have grown helpless about them." - Clare Boothe Luce, American author, diplomat, member of Congress (1903-1987).

It may appear that many of us have forgotten what radical Islam has done to America.

But we haven’t..

John McCain is the only person running for president that has NEVER wavered on the topic of terrorism. Though he may talk about closing Gitmo, he does understand the threat that radical Islam holds.

Discussing the election does include the war on terrorism.

Special thanks to Bavolet for notifying me about this video. She told me Thursday about it, but I was out of town on business and couldn’t blog about it.

Terrorists and Cockroaches

Some say that you will never defeat terrorism with the military.

They say that you can fight terrorists here, and they will pop up over there. Like a "whack a mole" game that you can never win.

They are partly correct.

Except the solution that they offer will not work either.

They suggest that we talk to radical Islam. That we use the police force and arrest the bad guys. But the problem is that radical Islam doesn’t view the terrorists as "bad guys." So they get angry when you jail them. There is no evidence, nor will you ever prove to me, that radical Islam is LESS angry because their members are in jail. (As opposed to being dead.)

Please…

Do not talk to me about innocent people being killed. Radical Islam TARGETS innocent people. We do not.

Thinking about the two different approaches to dealing with terrorism reminded me about my cockroach story.

When I moved to Florida in 1980, I lived in a cheap apartment. The place was chuck full of cockroaches. The landlord promised to "call in the army" and have the place fumigated.

The exterminator bombed the place and it was free from cockroaches. In reality, he hadn’t killed all of the cockroaches. They just moved to another apartment.

But our apartment was free from these evil bugs and that was fine with us.

(For about a month…)

Then the cockroaches came back with a vengeance. They were pissed off and they wanted blood. (OK, that might be an exaggeration, they didn’t actually want blood. They wanted our box of cereal.)

Realizing that the exterminator alone wasn’t going to solve this problem, we decided to starve the roaches.

All food must be in plastic containers and sealed. Any mess must be cleaned up immediately. No dirty dishes in the sink. No glass of pop left on the nightstand after falling asleep.

Nothing…

This, along with one more blast from the exterminator, did the trick. We never had roaches again in that apartment.

This is a very simplistic story for a very complex problem. But I think it highlights how one solution will not fix a problem.

First, you have to turn the lights on and see the problem.

That is what Geert Wilde has done with this Fitna video. That is what many of us bloggers do by talking about radical Islam.

You must also starve them out.

Many European countries are sealing bank accounts of known terrorists and radical sympathizers. The Iraqi people are no longer looking the other way and are taking up arms against the radical insurgents in Iraq.

But you must also squash them when you find them. That is what the military is doing. Capture them, jail them. If they shoot back, kill them.

Radical Islam will be a footnote in world history. Right along side Nazi Germany, the Roman Empire, and the Crusades.

It will be won by military, political, and social means.

We can all take part in this victory.

Will Hillary Leave?

Sniper fire was taking place...

We had to duck and run.

Will Hillary Clinton leave quietly?

A top Clinton adviser boldly claimed-

"It doesn’t matter how many states Obama wins. Hillary will be the democratic nomination by way of ’superdelegates"

This has got to send chills down the spine of any person who is supporting Obama for president. The thought that Obama could win the nomination with a majority vote from the people of America…

Only to loose it all to Hillary on a technicality.

Being a conservative, I find a tad bit of humor in the situation.

First off- The Clinton’s current actions validate all the years we conservatives spent warning people about the Clinton’s. That the Clinton’s would stop at nothing, (lying, cheating, and stealing) to gain power.

Secondly- I believe John McCain can beat Hillary Clinton in a fair match-up. I am not sure that McCain can beat Obama. Shades of JFK vs Nixon come to mind. I can see John McCain in place of Nixon, sweating profusely, while dictating his agenda. All the while, Obama gets standing ovations from the masses by saying nothing. (But saying nothing in a hell of a good fashion..!!)

I just do not believe McCain can beat Obama.

However, if I take my conservative badge off of my sleeve for a moment, I am an American first and foremost.

I hate to see anyone "take" an election, who didn’t win it.

I hated to see the 2000 election screw up.

Even though my candidate won, it wasn’t the proper way to win an election. I have always resented the fact that Al Gore decided to drag the election process through the US court system. The founding fathers already had a system in place for this type of close election and it has been used many times in the past, it is called: "The US Congress." Many times in the past, congress has selected the president when elections are too close to call.

Al Gore, knowing that republicans held congress, decided to use the court system instead. And Al Gore lost.

But still, with that said, I would rather see a clear election with the people picking the president.

So I despise the fact that Hillary may have found a way to go against the will of the people and place herself in this election.

It seems that Hillary Clinton is not going to leave quietly.

It would be easy for me to say that- "You folks on the left created this Frankenstein, by raising the Clinton’s to stardom."

I mean, it is not like you didn’t receive warnings about the Clinton’s. (What was the beginning of the TV show- "The Twilight Zone?" ’Warning, there is a signpost up ahead. Next stop, the Twilight Zone.")

There were freakin’ signposts all over the place.

We republicans did prove in a court of law that the Clinton’s do lie. There was much evidence that the Clinton’s were involved in money laundering and a shady land deal with "Whitewater." Today, you have Chinese people landing in jail for illegally giving money to the Clinton’s.

(And most importantly for this editorial.)

There was evidence that the Clinton’s used FBI and CIA files illegally, to gain knowledge on political rivals. (Rivals that might NOT necessarily be republican.)

If you are a prominent democrat who has been in DC since the 90’s, you have got to wonder what the Clinton’s know about you.

What are the Clinton’s willing to do to win this election..??

In this writer’s mind, I believe the Clinton’s will not go away quietly.

Outwardly, the Clinton’s will use ’superdelegates’ to go against the will of the people.

But I believe that behind the scenes, the Clinton’s will use every trick in the book to force top democrats to look the other way when the s**t hits the fan.

When Obama wins the popular vote, however Hillary is given the nomination by superdelegates, you will see a herd of top democrats paraded before the congressional podium, claiming that everything is on the "up, and up.."

"The Clinton’s win, fair and square.."

These top democrats will do this because of political pressure (political blackmail) from the Clinton’s, under the guise of "healing the nation."

However, I fear what will happen to America when the first Black presidential nominee is cheated out of his victory.

African- Americans, rightly so, feeling cheated by the "party of the people"…

It will tear this country apart and I do not want to see that happen.

(Even though it would benefit my Conservative Party if Hillary did all of this.)

So my short answer to the question in the title of this editorial is "no", the Clinton’s will not leave quietly.

The Clinton’s, who were once loved by the Democratic Party, will feel cheated and abandoned by them.

They will use every trick in the book to win this election.

Yes, I believe the Clinton’s will try to destroy the Democratic Party.

What can "we the people" do to stop this madness..??

First off- I can’t do anything to stop it. I am a conservative / republican. I have no rights in the way that you conduct your democratic nomination process.

Secondly- You created this Frankenstein monster, you are going to have to deal with it.

-Quit giving the Clinton’s a "pass" on everything they do. Demand that journalists inquire "why the Clinton’s were receiving illegal campaign money from the Chinese?" You would never let a republican get away with this kind of stuff, why would you let the Clinton’s. Maybe get congress involved. You hold the majority in congress. In general, quit looking the other way when the Clinton’s "pull a fast one."

-Find out who the hell these "superdelegates" are. Find out why the superdelegates are favoring Hillary Clinton? Send mass e-mails to your favorite news services. Demand that they do some "actual reporting" on why the superdelegates favor Hillary. Tell them it is "not enough to just copy the latest AP headlines." You want information on these people."

-Write to your democratic congress. Tell them that they must follow the "will of the people."

But above all, you must remind the Democratic Party that they work for you. It is not the other way around.

I realize that it will be difficult for many of you. Most liberals were trained from birth to believe that the government is "all powerful" and should control all aspects of your lives.

But that is not the way the founding fathers intended this country to run.

You must tell the democrats in congress that you pay their salary and your vote must count.

Or…

You could sit back, do nothing, and let it all happen.

(I can’t help you with that. I am a republican and democrats are not going to listen to me.)

You are welcome to grab a chair, get yourself a cup of coffee, and join me as we watch this Democratic Party train- slam into the station.

(Aaahh, sorry. You’ll have to bring your own coffee.)

The Angry Republican Video Broadcast

What if Hillary is elected president?

Warning- This video is "shocking."

Look into Hillary's eyeball (I dare you)

It was Thursday evening, (March 20, 2008) Gov. Bill Richardson, who had worked for the Clinton’s in the past and was a friend, felt compelled to tell Sen. Clinton in person...

He called to tell Hillary that he was endorsing Barack Obama for president.

"Let me tell you: (pause) we’ve had BETTER conversations." Gov. Richardson said.

Someone should write a book about the Clinton’s.

(OK.. Hundreds of people already have.)

But there are two problems with every book written about the Clinton’s:

Every book written about the Clinton’s is either a "love them" or "hate them" type story. I have never heard of a book that includes both the good and bad stuff on the history of the Clinton’s.

The second problem with every book written about the Clinton’s: they do not include the "ending."

We are living through the "ending" right now.

This week, Hillary released sections of the documents logging her time spent at the White House.

I haven’t heard much about these documents since their release, so I can assume two things:

Everyone is still riffling through them.

Or..

No one gives a rat’s ass.

I am sure that Hillary’s team gaped over every page in these documents and there is nothing released to the public that could hurt Hillary.

However, here at The Angry Republican, we have found a couple of things in the Hillary White House documents that you might find interesting.

So we decided to focus our attention on Hillary Clinton.

(Mainly because, like everyone else, we spent a whole week picking on Obama.)

Which brings us to:

The 10^th Angry Republican Video Broadcast.

This one focuses on the Hillary White House documents, and we interview a person "who knows the Clinton’s."

We call this video:

"Look into Hillary’s eyeball. (I dare you..!!)"

If you hated that video, be reassured that you never have to look at it again. (Provided that you never "click" the center button on the video.)

However, if you enjoyed The Angry Republican Video Broadcast, you can view all of our videos here:

Hey Writers…

Have you ever wanted to write a kick ass, aggressive political editorial?

But there is one problem…

You do not want to put it on YOUR blog site because idiots will attack your free speech rights and "troll" your blog? They will flame you, until you puke.

I know the feeling..!!

Why not send that original editorial to us..??

Get that anger off of your chest without having to deal with the idiots on your own site.

You do not have to use your real name, blogger name, etc. (Unless you want to.) We, The Angry Republican, will NEVER indulge who "really" wrote an article.

What, you do not trust us..??

Well, you can mail your editorial to us with no return address. Mail to: AR Productions, PO Box 976, Meadville Pa, 16335. However, if you "snail mail" your editorial to me it will take longer because I will have to type up the freaking thing. (Unless you send it on CD disc- Microsoft compatible.)

The best way to send an editorial is by my blog site e-mail.

There is no money involved and your work remains- yours.

We are asking for conservative and liberal viewpoints. Each editorial MUST be written by you. (It cannot be a copy of someone else’s work.) Keep in mind that my "real job" takes a lot of hours, I cannot always get right back to you.

To the folks who read The Angry Republican,

No…

I’m not running out of ideas for this site.

One of the complaints I have received from viewers is that we do not put out enough posts per week. That we "miss" some of the important news stories each week.

I have always wanted to keep this site stocked with original work. With my schedule, I cannot put out more than 3 or 4 editorials a week.

This was the best way that I could think of to solve that problem and still remain an original material site.

Thanks for reading The Angry Republican..!!

I hope you will have a nice Easter Day..!!

A real eye opener

Once you folks on the left have opened up that door, you cannot shut it for your own convenience. That door is open for all to use. And use it, we will…AR Babonie

Listening to the many call-in shows this week on talk radio, I could tell the Obama- Rev. Wright story caught many Black Americans off guard.

"Why are people jumping on Obama just because his preacher said a few dumb things..??"

Welcome to the "Wonderful World of American Politics..!!"

Black Americans can now say they have had a presidential candidate get beat up by the American press.

Some of these callers seem puzzled, like they didn’t understand "the game."

If I could yell through the radio and somehow reach these callers, I would have said-

"Where were you for the past- 100 years..?? You didn’t hear all of the jokes and mud that was thrown at Bill Clinton? You didn’t hear all of the jokes and slander thrown at George Bush?"

What..

Did you think this was something we reserved for "typical" White Guys only..??"

Hell no..

We do this for everybody who wants to be president.

So the question remains: Why did it take this long to attack Obama..??

Some of the reason may have been that people in the news media were fascinated by Barack Obama. Maybe they didn’t want to "dig deeper" into his life. So they reported current events and focused on his speeches.

I believe some of it was "fear." Reporters and News Networks- being afraid that they would be labeled "racist" if they reported negatively on Obama.

But mostly, Obama was the "great unknown." He didn’t have a long voting record in Washington. He had never run for president in the past, so we couldn’t highlight policy shifts in his agenda.

To me, this whole story is less about race and more about political rivalry.

What Rev. Wright said was racist, that is true. Obama, calling is grandmother a "typical White person" is borderline racist, (I know what Obama meant, but still- he is lumping a group of people together in a stereo- type).

Obama would be attack whether he was White or Black, that doesn’t matter. Obama would be attack because he is running for president.

I believe it has little to do with skin color.

For years, I have listen to left-wing bloggers talk about Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell when each of these preachers have said something stupid.

The left tries to paint a picture that ALL conservatives feel the way that Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell do on issues.

It is a way to scare their base, (and some moderates) into voting democratic.

I have never been to a church where Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell were preaching. I have never listened to a sermon delivered by these men.

I’m not even sure if President Bush, or Dick Cheney ever attended a service with Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell?

Just a simple Google Search on "Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell" will produce 26,800 hits. Most by left wing sites touting how these REPUBLICAN preachers are homophobic, racist, and their views on 9/11.

We can’t even prove whether John McCain or George Bush even attended several of Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell services, let alone attend for 20 years.

But it doesn’t matter, the left will lump us all together in a story.

Once you folks on the left have opened up that door, you cannot shut it for your own convenience. That door is open for all to use. And use it, we will…

It has little to do with color.

Barack Obama walked into a political game that has been taking place in American politics for years. He is just the latest victim. (But he will not be the last.)

Hillary supporters are taking part in this "game" because they want Hillary as president, just as simple as that.

Is it a fair and noble thing to do? Probably not. But we need to know whom we are electing as president.

Conservatives are taking part in this "game" because we want BOTH Obama and Hillary taken down a few pegs.

And it is working…

A recent poll in Pennsylvania shows that 19% of Hillary supporters would vote for John McCain, if Obama wins the democratic nomination.

20% of Obama supporters WILL NOT vote for Hillary, if she is the nominee. Instead of staying home, they would vote for John McCain.

Pennsylvania Poll

This is not good for the Democratic Party. This could cost them the win.

A recent Fox News Poll- (nationally) shows that if the election were held today, McCain would win. (By 9% over Obama and slightly more over Hillary.)

The Democratic Party knows they must end this political fight between Obama and Hillary.

But how..??

Good question.

I do not have that answer. (Nor, would I want to reveal it, if I knew of one.)

This has very little to do with race. This has everything to do with politics.

Obama just happened to be standing in the street when the Media trucks came flying by.

Obama would have been hit, regardless of his skin color.

For that is the nature of American politics.

The Angry Republican Video Broadcast number 9

"Let’s call up- Reverend Wright"

Remember when- Kum ba yah

Remember when they were holding hands and singing "Kum ba yah"

Those were the days for liberals.

They all stood, side by side, boycotting The Fox News Network.

The liberal democrats, claiming they would not debate or visit "that" Fox News channel, because it would give the Fox News Channel credibility.

Liberal web sites like The Daily Kos preached about the solidarity of the progressive / liberal / democrat movement.

That has all changed now…

Obama has visited Fox News.

Hillary has visited Fox News so many times that I believe the Clinton’s have their own parking space at the Fox News parking garage.

The web site Daily Kos, which used to talk about the unity of the democrats, is almost splitting into 2 sites because of the fights between Hillary and Obama bloggers. (Pro Clinton bloggers do not feel welcome at the pro Obama- Kos web site.)

We conservatives get to sit back and watch it all unfold.

In a post last week, I complained that John McCain should leave the campaign trail and begin to "look presidential." I said that McCain should travel around and visit some of these "hot spots" in the world.

Well, that is exactly what the McCain camp is doing. After visiting Iraq, McCain headed to Israel. Later, he plans to visit Germany and France. (It is so nice to belong to a party that, most of the time, follows its supporter’s wishes.)

However, back on the liberal / progressive / democratic side of the fence…

Hillary and Obama have spent the last three weeks NOT talking about the issues. Instead they have launched- through surrogates- verbal attacks at each other.

The top brass in the Democratic Party is worried.

On the one hand, this "very public" fight between Hillary and Obama has created a buzz between democratic voters, who are turning out in record numbers to vote.

However, because this fight between Hillary and Obama has been so angry, this could cause the losing supporters to just stay home and not vote for the democratic nominee. (Or worse yet- vote for McCain in spite.)

Here is what I can tell you…

Living here in Pennsylvania, I see that Hillary Clinton has a slight lead. Governor Ed Rendell has endorsed Hillary, and many people I talk to have said they would vote for Hillary.

And that was before the Rev. Wright / Obama story broke.

People are funny…

If you walked up to them and asked them a poll question- "Does this controversy with Rev. Wright and Obama effect the way that you will vote in the Pennsylvania Primary..??" Most people will answer "No." (We all probably would- in public.)

But, when you are voting in private. Will what you heard Rev. Wright say about White Americans effect how you vote?

Obama has to have White voters to win.

If Hillary Clinton wins big in Pennsylvania, it will be mathematically impossible for Obama to take the delegate win.

Which means this campaign will be fought out at the convention.

Both campaigns need money..!! Millions of dollars each week to operate.

How long can you keep drawing money from your supporters before they reach the point that they cannot donate anymore money..?? What if the democratic "money well" runs dry from the primaries..?? What if there is nothing left to draw for the general election..??

What if Obama is slightly ahead of Hillary, but Obama doesn’t have the delegate numbers to "lock" the win, and the delegates believe Hillary could better compete with McCain? Will giving the win to Hillary destroy the Democratic Party?

Many, many questions and very few answers.

So, I’m reading some interviews from top democratic strategists who are very alarmed at the current state of this race.

There is only two ways this can play out, that will save the Democratic Party the most grief from its supporters.

(1) One candidate wins most (or all) of the last primaries and is so far ahead of the other that there is no question who is the winner. (Even if they do not have the delegate number to win.)

(2) That it is too close to call. A virtual tie. The Democratic Party and the delegates could then select the candidate that they believe could best compete against McCain.

There is only one problem here…

Hillary is going to receive a bounce because of this "Rev. Wright" controversy. (Obama’s poll numbers have dropped 14 % recently.) And you have those "missing" votes from Florida and Michigan. Half of the Democratic Party believes you should count all the votes. The other half believes that those states screwed up and shouldn’t count.

Folks, I cannot see anyway that this will turn out favorably for the Democratic Party. This Rev. Wright story appeared at the worst possible time. Obama could have locked this thing up, but I believe he will lose some of the votes that he was counting on in states like Pennsylvania.

If I were to make a prediction now-

I believe Hillary will gain ground. However, Obama will still hold the popular vote, (and maybe the delegate lead.)

This should be the end of the story.

(But no…..!!)

Huge debates will occur in Democratic circles about Florida and Michigan- (all those poor people who lost their chance to vote.)

The Democratic Party and the delegates will worry that Obama will have problems with Rezko, Rev. Wright, and Obam’s general lack of experience. They will give the nomination to Hillary Clinton.

This will cause a hell of a mess at the Democratic Convention. (Beating the fiasco of the 1968 Democratic convention.)

This will cause moderate Americans to say:

"These democrats cannot even run an election. How can they run a country? How can I vote for them? I do not trust any of them.."

Meanwhile- Little "old" John McCain will have been traveling around the world. Shaking hands and kissing babies. He will already "look the part."

The democratic winner- (aahh chosen one) Hillary Clinton, will attack McCain, it will backfire and turn Americans off. (Having lived through the months of Hillary and Obama verbal abuse.)

John McCain will be the 44 president of the United States.

Whether you like it or not…

But that is just my prediction. What is yours..??

The "first 100 hours" is falling into the toilet for the democrats. They take a day off to watch college football. Libs try to stick two democrats into high profile positions, both with shady pasts. (Murtha)

President Carter's staff is fleeing his camp because of embellishments in his new book. (Isn't the name of his new book- "How I saved the Middle East and won a Nobel Prize"- By Jimmy Carter?)

You have Barbara Boxer condemning Condi Rice for NOT having children. (If you do not have children, you cannot lead the country during a war.)

Now, there is a problem, concerning minimum wage for American Samoa. The main company involved is located in Nancy Pelosi's district. (The person that liberals picked to speak for their party.) Liberals immediately rush to cover up and blame republicans. The same way they covered for Mayor Nagin in New Orleans. (no..no- Your district would have to file for that exemption. There are hundreds of districts in America. The Labor dept doesn't set RULES in each district individually. You must file for exemption- which would be Pelosi's chore.)

What you have here is a group of people who voted for change. And that was it- Change.

They knew NOTHING about the people they were voting for. And so they got change. Change for the worst.

You know what is really sad..??

Many people were really sincere in casting their votes for the democrats because they wanted the United States out of Iraq. They also wanted to control political corruption. Democrats promised this to the voters.

I feel sorry for you folks.

Because as of yet, there is no evidence democrats even plan to do one of those promises.

Here Comes the Judge

A federal judge on Thursday struck down President Bush's warrantless surveillance program, saying it violated the rights to free speech and privacy, as well as the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution.
U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit is the first judge to rule on the legality of the National Security Agency's program, which the White House says is a key tool for fighting terrorism that has already stopped attacks.
This case was brought on by the ACLU.
I am going to disagree with many of the conservative people on this issue. I listened today as the Right attacked this judge for her decision and they talked about her past.
I have always said the warrantless surveillance program was legal until a judge ruled the act unconstitutional. Many on the left claimed it was already an illegal activity. That was an incorrect statement, until today.
As it stands right now, the warrantless surveillance program can continue until the appeals process is complete. The administration said it would appeal to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.
So really, this is "much to do about nothing." The decision is not retroactive. No crimes can be placed upon the Bush Administration because this is new territory and other American Presidents have done similar activities during a war.
It would be hypocritical for me to cut down this judge for her decision. I believe in the American system. I think her decision was wrong. I believe this was a tool for catching terrorists and I think the 6th U.S. Circuit Court will overturn this decision.
But, I'm not going to make fun of this judge. She was placed there by an American President. (Jimmy Carter) She has a right to be there.
I did, however, make fun of the ACLU. In a childish fashion, I painted "hippie headbands" on the ACLU's photo.
"Smoke one for me.."
