Questions for Liberals
As the spring turns into summer, and while the new President (and those with BDS – Bush Derangement Syndrome) need to look farther and farther into their rear view mirror to assign blame for nearly everything, it has become our recent inclination to start asking questions of our liberal friends. During the election we were asked to select our next President based on hope. But eventually there comes a time for reckoning – to measure performance against promise.
To wit, this is the first in a series of questions we will post that should at the least give those pushing our country into the abyss – reason for pause.
Question One – Throughout the presidential election, were were confronted with all the platitudes of “change”; it was “a time for change”, the election was about “hope and change”, and finally my personal favorite “we are the change we have been waiting for”.
So how has the changed manifested itself into policy with respect to national security? Our first series of questions:
1) Now that President Obama has (rightfully) opposed the release of alleged prisoner abuse photos, has come to support indefinite detention for some detainees, has been thus far been defeated by his own party in his quest to obtain a blank check to close Gitmo, and lastly authorized the continuance of the Bush administration’s use of FISA wiretaps (or as they are known on the Left – “warrant-less wiretaps”) - is President Obama, completely abandoning his pledge to end a “legal framework that does not work” (for dealing with captured terrorists)? Did you agree with the President when he opposed the military tribunals? Or do you oppose the President now that he has tacitly endorsed them? Do you think he was telling the truth when he opposed them on principle during the election, or is he telling the truth now the he views these measures as necessary? Finally, how do you “feel” now that Obama has virtually the same position as Bush/Cheney on dealing with captured terrorists? And how can you honestly believe, with all that the real torture we have witnessed committed by Isalmo-terrorists- how can anyone honestly believe that through symbolism (the closing of Gitmo) the country will be made safer?
