Adorably unstable Arizona Rep. John Shadegg–whose awesome argument against health care reform was to drag infant baby “Maddie” onto the House floor to “explain” (in a deep man’s voice) why she no likey Obama’s doomsday health care plan to insure all Americans and offer free abortions for all the other babies not lucky enough to escape the liberal holocaust of the unborn–has set his sights on a new target: Mayor Michael Bloomberg for having the gall to claim New Yorkers aren’t afraid of hosting terror trials.
Ha ha Mr. Tough Guy Billionaire Mike! Well, John over here wants to know just how tough Bloomie will be when it’s his two daughters who are kidnapped walking down Madison Ave in broad daylight!
“I saw the Mayor of New York said today, ‘We’re tough. We can do it.’ Well, Mayor, how are you going to feel when it’s your daughter that’s kidnapped at school by a terrorist? How are you going to feel when it’s some clerk — some innocent clerk of the court — whose daughter or son is kidnapped? Or the jailer’s little brother or little sister? This is political correctness run amok.”
God damn right it is! Luckily there’s someone as smart and sensible as John Shadegg to warn the American people what can happen, no make that, what will happen if we allow 9/11 suspects like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to be tried in a civilian court and afford him due process of the law instead of pouring water over him while he’s blindfolded, naked and strapped to a table for an indefinite period of time in some secret island prison in Cuba.
If there’s one thing that really pisses Al-Qaeda off more than infidel Americans acting like, well, infidel Americans, it’s hosting trials of high-level terrorist suspects using standard court procedures instead of letting their fear and irrationality drive them to depart from their normal rules of justice to create naked pyramids and beat the hate out of them using their holy book, the Koran.
The last thing we want is for KSM and other 9/11 perpetrators to think we’re “surrendering to terrorists” because we’re too scared sh*tless of what they might do to us (not counting those two towers or anything) to hold them accountable for the deaths of thousands of Americans in a court of law on our own soil.
Which is why we’re so fortunate to have courageous Republicans like John Shadegg to exploit the fears and insecurities of the public by insisting that “the safety and security of the American people” means that we must abandon our long-held belief in justice and the rule of law when dealing with terrorists.
Unlike those crazy Democrats and Independents like Mayor Bloomberg who have enough faith in the American justice system to think those responsible for killing Americans should actually be tried in America of all places!
When everyone knows if we ever capture Osama bin Laden, the smartest, most logical thing to do would be to send him to a place more capable of carrying out proper justice than the dumb U.S. of A.
You know, a country we trust…like Afghanistan.
