Conservative Common Man

I followed a link from The Drudge Report to a short article from UPI, which trumpeted: West Hollywood joins call for impeachment. The city officials seemed eager to show their sympathy for down-trodden terrorists by joining a movement, which entails:

“The nationwide effort accuses both Bush and Cheney of numerous constitutional transgressions, including allowing the torture of prisoners and domestic wiretapping to occur.”

The actions of West Hollywood and the 80 other towns nationwide are, sadly, not surprising. The idea that the government’s successful efforts to prevent domestic terrorist attacks, with a great deal of help from vigilant citizens, has become a sore on the collective backside of the left. Liberal politicians and their eager accomplices in the media have deluged the public with reports and rebukes, craftily fashioned to give the impression that our government is listening to our private conversations and allowing its agents to torture and torment helpless detainees.

How cold and uncaring a society would be if it allowed the dunking of of a terrorist in order to save innocent lives. Any compassionate person would dutifully sacrifice a limitless number of his or her loved ones so that calls to known terror links are not overheard, right?

This must be right! This, if not the desired effect, is at least an inevitable unintended consequence of actions such as the foolish vote by the enlightened West Hollywood officials. These votes say, if not in direct terms, I do not care if a homicide bomber kills innocent Americans. I do not wish to see the ACLU given rights denied any homicide bomber. I am willing to hear the screams of pain of my family and friends if we are unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity of an attack, because it is not really an attack… it is a response! After all, we as liberal Americans, know that we are at fault!
