“All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things.”
Robert Southey
The White House shift toward trying terrorism suspects in military rather than civilian courts includes a political calculation aimed at blunting criticism of President Obama’s national security credentials. While the move alienates the president’s base, that’s a risk the administration is willing to take heading into a tough election with polls showing a majority of Americans support tribunals over federal courts. The administration last week floated a trial balloon to various news organizations quoting unnamed sources indicating Obama was leaning toward military tribunals for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused architect of the 9/11 attacks.
Easing up on the unpopular plan to try detainees in civilian courts could serve the administration two ways: By removing a potent campaign issue from Republicans and possibly buying back support from lawmakers for closing the Cuban-based prison. Obama had promised to close the facility within a year of taking office, but missed the deadline.
While liberals strongly supported Obama’s original plan for civilian trials, by 62 percent to 31 percent, such liberal Democrats represent just one-fourth of the population, Langer said. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Obama-looks-for-political-cover-on-terror-trials-86682092.html#ixzz0hVXsMHNt
The last figure in this article says it all: Liberal Democrats represent just one quarter of the population, (to mean voters.) What we may take away from this is that we as a nation are in the grip of a socialist agenda supported by less than 25% of the population. These then are the rank and file of Obama’s “radical socialist nation.” As for the fact that the story was “floated” that the boy President was reconsidering trying terrorists in military courts, don’t buy it – just yet.
The cornerstone of this new approach is to close Gitmo and transfer the terrorists still remaining there, to secure facilities on military bases. However we might look at this another way. Once Obama’s current health care reform scam agenda is secured, he could well change his mind regarding trials in the federal system. Add to that my sneaking suspicion that he might further consider giving Guantanamo back to the Cubans. If you think that improbable than you haven’t been paying attention to his ideology.
Obama has made no secret of his affection for a socialist system where the government, as big brother and parent will make all your decisions for you. It is evident in his health care agenda and further, his giving terrorists Miranda rights and constitutional privileges which we might look at as a reward for their services of blowing up and killing American civilians and military personnel; after all socialists are a type of terrorist themselves.
So that being said don’t start waving your little flag’s in a victory celebration over the “maybe” idea of trying terrorists in military courts. Obama is like the energizer bunny, milk fed on Saul Alinsky’s radical socialist ideology. Like the successful radical described in Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals, Obama will keep pushing and pushing until he gets what he wants – a radical socialist government that will make all your decisions for you. That no doubt is a comforting thought to those weak minded on the left who don’t seem to have a clue that they are like sheep being led to the slaughter, something the rest of us have no intention of allowing to happen. Just my opinion.
