Addiction

It is no coincidence that Eric Holder has announced the appointment of a prosecutor to pursue CIA interrogators, despite the fact that the cases in question have been previously reviewed by professional investigators and found to have no facts to warrant prosecution. This subject has routinely found its way to the administration's agenda each time the left wing of its support gets restless. And today they are restless because its looking less and less like Mr Obama is going to be able to deliver on his promise of government directed and managed health care. Each time the Obama-Biden ticket has been unable to match their liberal rhetoric with deeds, they pull out either Gitmo or so-called war crimes investigations to divert attention and remind the cannibalistic extreme left that only they can provide them with the sustenance they desire; the heads of conservatives and moderates who dared to consider defending America rather than negotiating with terrorists and enemies of the country.

The Boxers and Pelosis represent the voters and contributors that are still trying to either relive the 1970 anti-war marches or are the angry children of that movement that missed out on supporting Tom Hayden and the Chicago 7. They simply disdain any US history that either suggests or confirms that there is a time for war; a time to kill; a time to hate and a time to tear. They selectively read and quote from verse and philosophies that, contrary to all empirical and historical evidence of humanity, assert that mankind can make heaven on earth; that the lamb will lay down with the lion; if only we will turn away from our darker nature. Just this past week such irrational philosophy has been demonstrated to be completely flawed. Scotland's Minister of Justice, Kenny MacAskill, released the only man convicted of blowing up innocent men, women and children at 10,000 feet above the ground. The well-intended Mr. MacAskill felt compassion must be shown to this poor man who is dying of cancer, despite the fact that he has only served a few years of a life sentence. A sentence, by the way that couldn't consider the more appropriate act of execution for such a heinous crime. So, as Susan Cohen, mother of one of the victims of the Pan Am bombing said, the perpetrators of the crime are getting everything they want; freedom and a hero's tribute for the killer, while the victims and their families look on.

Appeasement is a disease of the intellect that has never worked. It is a lie told to make the victim feel responsible for the rage of the abuser. A lie that makes the abused the cause of their abuse. But the left insists that it should work. So, the current leadership of the Congress and Executive will continue to feed the disease, like providing an addict a drink or fix to a junkie, and keep them pacified, mollified, while they remain in power. CIA interrogation will now have a daily headline and sound bite to remind those intoxicated with the delusional dreams of Mr Ayers and seek a world free of American success that, only when the present leadership is supported, can their dreams come true. So ignore our failures; our glossed-over vague promises of only 10 months ago. Here, have a drink. Relax. Smoke a joint. Don't worry. We'll get those neo-con Dorothy's and their little dog too!
