He said today he was on his meds, yet in his book he wrote he says he never takes his meds when he's doing ANY commercial so there will be more drama added to it..

Can you think of situations other than wartime in which legislation similar to Alien and Sedition Acts would be considered constitutional?

We will never agree on the merits of war in Iraq, therefore should I tolerate all the fact that a few people will become even wealthier through death and destruction?

O.J. Trials for Terrorists
by Ann Coulter
Posted Oct 18, 2006

The Democrats claim they want to treat terrorism as a criminal law problem,
but when we give them an American citizen convicted of aiding terrorists --
as happened this week -- a Democrat judge gives her a slap on the wrist.
Or he was going to give her a wrist slap until someone told him that wrist-slapping
was banned under the Geneva Conventions, so he let the wrist off with a warning.

Last year, a New York jury found Lynne Stewart guilty of helping her former client,
Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, communicate with his Egyptian-based group of murderous
terrorists, appropriately known as "the Islamic Group."

The blind sheik needed to instruct his followers to abandon a truce and resume murdering innocents,
but he couldn't get the message through because, by sheer coincidence,
he was in prison for conspiring to murder innocents here in America by plotting the first
World Trade Center bombing. So Stewart and a "translator" met with her former client in
prison and took his messages for transmission to his followers in Egypt.

With the full constitutional protections Democrats want for terrorists in Guantanamo,
Stewart was convicted by a New York jury last year.

This week, Judge John Koeltl -- appointed to the bench by President Bill Clinton in 1994 --
spurned the prosecution's request for a 30-year sentence and gave Stewart 28 months for
being a terrorist's mule. Now she'll clog up the criminal justice system with endless appeals
for the next several years -- using procedures that liberals also want for Guantanamo detainees.

At Stewart's sentencing, the judge noted that the defendant's actions had not resulted in any deaths.
I'll have to remember that in case I'm ever on trial for attempted murder. "Hey, your honor, did I mention
that the guy lived? Yeah, the darn gun jammed on me. Go figure, huh?"

In rejecting a 30-year sentence in favor of a 28-month sentence, the judge commended Stewart for her
"public service, not only to her clients, but to the nation" for representing members of the Black Panthers
and the Weather Underground. In a sane world, that would have justified a longer sentence, not a shorter one.

If only Democrats could turn the entire war on terrorism over to the courts, they could release terrorists and terrorist
sympathizers with wild abandon -- and Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton would never have to take a position.

When Americans are allowed to vote, a fireman's vote counts as much as George Soros' vote. But if liberals can just
get terrorists into the judicial system, a Clinton-appointed judge can rule on a defense funded by George Soros --
precisely what happened in Stewart's case. Note that even in liberal New York City, average citizens on the jury voted
to convict Stewart, despite her Soros-funded defense.

Democrats run apparently sane candidates for office, like James Webb in Virginia and Bob Casey in Pennsylvania,
who can puff up their chests and pretend they want to pursue terrorists -- while carping about any and all military action
in the terrorists' general direction. Instead, let's turn terrorists over to courts full of Clinton and Carter judges! Democratic
candidates get to look tough, and the terrorists go scot-free.

It would be frightening enough to treat terrorism as a criminal law problem if it were Republicans saying it. But these are
Democrats. Their idea of a major criminal case is Tom DeLay's campaign treasurer accidentally depositing a campaign
contribution into a checking account rather than a savings account.

By contrast, terrorists imprisoned in Guantanamo for trying to kill Americans must be treated as innocent little lambs.
Oh, to be there when Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman is exonerated due to previously unavailable "DNA evidence"!

After President Bush signed a law this week providing for military tribunals for terrorists being held at Guantanamo and prohibiting
their torture, Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin said, "We will look back on this day as a stain on our nation's history.
" (Note to Democrats: It's still too soon to use "stain" as a metaphor for a White House brouhaha.)

Democrats stood outside the White House shouting "Torture is a crime!" and "Bush is the terrorist!" Yep, these are the people
who claim they're going to keep us all safe, America. Everybody good with that?

Gen. George Washington tried Major John Andre, Benedict Arnold's British co-conspirator, by military tribunal and ordered Andre
hanged within 10 days of his capture. Nazi saboteurs, including an American citizen, captured on U.S. soil during World War II
were tried in secret by military commission and promptly executed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Nuremberg trials were
a form of military tribunal.

But Democrats think military tribunals aren't good enough for the terrorists plotting to kill Americans today. Liberals are going to make
the terrorists love us! What better way to start than with criminal trials in front of judges like John Koeltl?

I advocate a radical, anarchistic society, free of guns, war, and money. I advocate a return to the land. Every man and women should grow his or her own food. Screw capitalism. Screw the United States. I am for abolishing all laws. I advocate absolute freedom of choice and free will, as long as you don't hurt anyone else. I am for the disolving of all national borders.
My quest is not just to end the rule of the United States, but to end the rule of every state in the world. I believe in a borderless world where human beings have complete freedom of choice, freedom of movement, freedom of belief, and freedom of speech.

I am not talking about a violent overthrow, so don't get me started on that. I'm just talking about human beings joining together to overcome social injustice, corruption, and politics as they currently pervade our society.

Im talking about 911 here people. People like me and everyone else who questions what really happened are being refered to as crazy. Well I disagree. A little bit of research, a little bit of SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE, and a little bit of BALLS will lead you to the truth. Don't bash it untill you have done more then just listen to the bullcrap that your government feeds you. Hey did you know this? That the owner of WTC took out a multi BILLION dollar insurance policy on the towers only a couple of weeks before 911? And that it SPECIFICIALLY covered acts of terrorism? The truth is out there, you just have to look.

As an attorney I shared with several of my "Liberal" colleagues at a meeting things the GOP has done that are 100% beneficial to them!

Yet NONE could respond rationlly without a deluge of insults, irrational blather and just plain old hate!

What is it with the Far Left Wing ACLU Adoring Liberal Democrats?

It's just, "Hate Bush"...and that's not good for attorney's ... We are supposed to deal with "Reason" and the "Facts" ..Helloooo?

Reason #1. The economy is kicking butt. It is robust, vibrant, strong and growing. In the 36 months since the Bush tax cuts ended the recession that began under President Clinton, the economy has experienced astonishing growth.

Reason #2. Unemployment is almost nil for a major economy, and is verging on full employment.

Reason #3. The Dow is hitting record highs. In the past few days, the Dow climbed above 12,000 for the first time in the history of the stock market, thus increasing the value of 401ks

Reason #4. No USA Terroist acts !

While everyone is focused on Mexico, have any of you realized just how hard it is to get OUT of America and into Canada? Remember the magicians trick. Focus on the bright shiny object, "illegal" immigrants, and while you are focused on a bunch of non-sense the trick in done. Closing the borders.
It should be of no surprise, in the 50's, scientists told the government to prepare for the eventual energy crisis. And in the 60', 70's, 80's, 90's, but no one listened, didn't want to spend "my tax dollars." Last week I heard a Republican talk about the exciting "NEW" energy ideas the Republican admin had come up with....Which is exactly what happens when people do not heed educated people. The politicians use it as a platform, which is exactly what the "wall" is about. So how many think the draft is coming back? How many of you think your daughters as well as your sons are going to be sent to fight?

Peace.
