Sleeping With The Enemy?

I know this is a site for Illinois party politics, but the federal government is giving us so much fodder to write about and fear that it cannot and SHOULD NOT be ignored...

Yesterday it was announced that we will be bringing Guantanamo prisoners to New York to stand trial for terrorist activities.  Talk about returning to the scene of the crime.  There is so much wrong with this, I do not know where to begin.

First, these are not American citizens - how can they be protected under our Constitution, or more importantly, why?

Next, they are prisoners of war, not criminals who commited criminal acts.  The rules of war are much different than the rule of law under the American Constitution.  I am not a lawyer, but I have to believe laws regarding admission of evidence and national security will likely be compromised. 

Most importantly, our government is placing the largest American city in danger of another serious terrorist event.  With the world focused on New York City, it will once again become a target to any individual or group wishing to make an anti-American statement. 

Every day we go to our jobs or to a business where we witness people making assinine decisions.  When we see these examples, we wonder to ourselves, "how could anyone be so stupid?"  Well, this is one of those examples.  Of all of the possible decisions our government could have made, good or bad; they have chosen the worst possible decision.  Now I have to ask, how can they be so stupid?

There is little question about our President's ties to his Muslim past.  Frankly, I do not care what religion he chooses to follow.  I do not care what he believes or does not believe.  For those who use the race card, let me set the record straight; I do not care about his skin color.  What I care about is how his decisions affect our nation and our sovereignty.  Let the facts speak for themselves... 

We already know that the President was a Cook County politician.  This fact alone brings his integrity into question.  Not to say that all Cook County politicians are dishonest, but let history speak for itself.  We also know that the President is a liar.  Yes, I said it and I can prove it!  He is a LIAR!  He claimed to have little to do with questionable characters in Chicago - one a racist, the other a terrorist.  Of course, that had been proven a lie several times over.  Then, in speech after speech he has insisted that under his proposed health care program, we would be able to retain our private coverage.  In fact, we cannot.  If we make any change at all to our private plan, we will be forced to switch to the government plan.  If we change jobs, we will be forced into the government plan.  Eventually, everyone would be on the government plan. 

1. Obama claims to be an Ivy League scholar, but has not produced a single piece of paper to prove it.
2. Obama claims to be a natural born Citizen of the United States, but refuses to release his birth certificate.
3. Obama has not produced a single medical record.

There are too many unknowns about this President.  There are too many unanswered questions and inconsistencies.  There is far too much America bashing with this President and there is far, far too much terrorist patronizing with this President.  We have our soldiers fighting a very dangerous enemy in the hills of Afghanistan, under-manned and under-protected. Our General in charge of the operation, appointed by Barak Obama has asked for additional troops, but has yet to receive a decision by the President for extra help.  The President says he wants to make the right decision so he will need to think about it.  That is like telling a drowning man that you are not sure whether to throw the life preserver in over-hand or under-hand, so you will not throw it at all until you make the right decision.  All the while, our soldiers are dying in the battlefield at a greater rate than at anytime throughout this war.

At what point will we start asking the tough questions?  At what point will we say, "enough is enough!"? At what point will we ask the President who side he is fighting for?  It was announced that Fort Hood Terrorist, Nidal Malik Hasan stated that his faith came before his country.  At what point will we ask the President if he feels the same?  After all, it was also announced, but not widely publicized, that Hasan served on one of Obama's transition committees.  At what point will we ask the President if he is an American with the interest of the American people and the security of the Constitution as his priority; or if he is an illigetimate puppet for the Muslim extremists, put in place to destroy our nation? 

It is about time this President begins showing the American people that he stands for the American principles.  I think it is about time this President begins to be and American.  I think it is about time our Congress start asking the tough questions including, is it time to impeach and prosecute?  I think it is time for our elected officials to do their job!  I think it is time for Congress to ask, is this man our President or are we sleeping with the enemy?
