RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2006, AND THEREAFTER
SHOULD WE PROSECUTE SEDITION?
Last Sunday, former Vice President Al Gore spoke before the Jiddah Economic
Forum. He told the mostly Saudi audience that the United States had
committed "terrible atrocities" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks. He stated that Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded
up" and detained in "unforgivable conditions." He criticized America's new
immigration policy, which more carefully scrutinizes Saudi visas,
explaining, "The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a
mistake." Finally, he concluded, "There have been terrible abuses, and it's
wrong. . I want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes
or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country."
These are outrageous statements. And the silence from the left is deafening.
The Democratic National Committee told me that they had not released a
statement regarding Gore's speech and had no plans to do so. The New York
Times editorial board, the official outlet of the American left, wrote nary
a word about the speech.
It is now considered bad form to criticize those who commit seditious acts
against the United States. Challenging the patriotism of a traitor draws
more ire than engaging in treasonable activities. Calling out those who
undermine our nation creates more of a backlash than actually undermining
our nation.
Let us consider, however, the probable consequences of Gore's mea culpa on
behalf of the "majority" of his countrymen. No doubt his words will fuel the
massive tide of propaganda spewing forth from Muslim dictatorships around
the globe. No doubt his words will be used to bolster the credibility of
horrific disinformation like the Turkish-made, Gary-Busey-and-Billy
Zane-starring monstrosity "Valley of the Wolves: Iraq," which accuses
American troops of war atrocities and depicts a Jewish-American doctor
(Busey) slicing organs out of Arab victims and shipping the body parts off
to New York, London and Israel. No doubt Gore's speech will precipitate
additional violence against Americans in Iraq and around the globe.
And Gore is not alone. Much of the language of the "loyal opposition" has
been anything but loyal. In September 2002, Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.)
called President Bush a liar on Saddam Hussein's turf, then added that
Hussein's regime was worthy of American trust. On "Face the Nation" back in
December, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) stated that American troops were "going
into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and
children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of, of, of
historical customs, religious customs ." Howard Dean, the head of the DNC,
averred in December that the "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq
is an idea which is just plain wrong."
At some point, opposition must be considered disloyal. At some point, the
American people must say "enough." At some point, Republicans in Congress
must stop delicately tiptoeing with regard to sedition and must pass
legislation to prosecute such sedition.
"Freedom of speech!" the American Civil Liberties Union will protest. Before
we buy into the slogan, we must remember our history. President Abraham
Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus and allowed governmental
officials to arrest Rep. Clement Vallandigham after Vallandigham called the
Civil War "cruel" and "wicked," shut down hundreds of opposition newspapers,
and had members of the Maryland legislature placed in prison to prevent
Maryland's secession. The Union won the Civil War.
Under the Espionage Act of 1917, opponents of World War I were routinely
prosecuted, and the Supreme Court routinely upheld their convictions.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes rightly wrote, "When a nation is at war, many
things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its
effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight and
that no Court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right."
The Allies won World War I.
During World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the
internment of hundreds of thousands of Japanese-Americans, as well as
allowing the prosecution and/or deportation of those who opposed the war.
The Allies won World War II.
During the Vietnam War, the Supreme Court repeatedly upheld the free speech
rights of war opponents, whether those opponents distributed leaflets
depicting the rape of the Statue of Liberty or wore jackets emblazoned with
the slogan "F--- the Draft." America lost the Vietnam War.
This is not to argue that every measure taken by the government to prosecute
opponents of American wars is just or right or Constitutional. Some
restrictions, however, are just and right and Constitutional -- and
necessary. No war can be won when members of a disloyal opposition are given
free reign to undermine it.

che non sarà solo.
Beh, non e' solo nemmeno chi afferma che il regime di Saddam Hussein
aveva le qualita' per avere la fiducia degli USA.
O che afferma "gli USA hanno commesso terribili atrocita' contro *gli
arabi*".

 il che significa che non sarà solo.
Un orrido pupo fascista, comparsa degna di questo orrido inizio millennio.
A sentir lui, però, è l'Harvard di sinistra ad avere prodotto per reazione 
il neocon tascabile.

A Veterans Affairs nurse in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was investigated
for sedition after she wrote a letter to a local newspaper criticizing
the Bush administration's handling of Hurricane Katrina and the Iraq
war.

Liberta' un corno.   Gli USA di oggi sono un paese fascista, completo

AURORA - A 16-year-old boy at Overland High School doesn't want to hear
what he calls his teacher's left-wing political rants.
Sean Allen frequently recorded his teachers to back up his notes.
Allen recorded Jay Bennish, his 10th grade World Geography teacher,
making comments about President Bush's State of the Union Address.
Allen's father claims the comments made in the recording are biased and
inappropriate for a geography class.
"I'm not saying Bush and Hitler are exactly the same, obviously they're
not. OK? But there are some eerie similarities to the tones that they
use," says Bennish in his critique of U.S. economic and foreign policy.
Towards the end of the class, Bennish goes on to say, "I'm not in
anyway implying that you should agree with me, I don't even know if I'm
necessarily taking a position. But what I'm trying to get you to do is
to think about these issues more in depth and not to just take things
from the surface."
The Cherry Creek School District is conducting a thorough investigation
of the complaint from the Overland High School parent and student
concerning comments.
The school district says at first glance it does appear the teacher
acted inappropriately at the very least.
A spokesperson for the Cherry Creek School District said they have
placed Bennish on administrative leave pending the outcome of the
investigation. This is not a disciplinary action; the school district
wants to remove him while they sort through the rest of the
investigation.
The Cherry Creek School District expects to finish the investigation by
the end of the week.
