Shall the Blood of Patriots Flow?

[Lord Bitememan]

I'm not a man given to revolutionary rhetoric. There are few instances in which I would ever support a revolution. That said, the attorney general of the United States is treading perilously close to a line I would advise never be crossed:

It is no secret that liberals have sought the head of George W. Bush, and would love nothing better than to prosecute him in lieu of marring his presidency with an impeachment. Make no mistake about it, this is the business of banana republics and tin pot socialist dictatorships throughout Latin America. The presidency and the organs of power in Washington are not tools for the fulfillment of a partisan vendetta gone unfulfilled. It would be unprecedented for the President to prosecute his predecessor. It would turn the business of government into a permanent witch hunt by which the administration would justify its continuation in power by way of show trials against those who preceded it. This nation is NOT founded on such politics. We shall NOT nurture an embryonic Hugo Chavez in our bosom. And I am confident in saying this: if this investigation becomes a mechanism by which the administration seeks to prosecute George W. Bush then without reservation I say THERE SHOULD BE WAR!!

A political war art least. I cannot condone Revolution until all measures of structure we have laid are exhausted.

You're so full of s-t Jon! You know damn well if this were cops torturing a bunch of white kids you'd be screaming for their heads. Holder is investigating CRIMES that took place against people in US CUSTODY! If Bush ordered their torture it should be treated no differently than if a police chief ordered the torture of criminals suspects!

Obama didn't even win the presidency... so he shouldn't be doing this stuff. God wouldn't want us to work on our last sinner in presidency, when we should mourn for the thousands of souls that are burning in hell because of our nation's amorality!

Or if they were torturing black kids too. Both are governed by the Bill of Rights. Terrorists operate as spies and saboteurs and are accorded no legal protections under any convention of law. This is the trade-off for having no state asset to protect but still attempting to wage war. Had 9-11 been perpetrated by a state, we would have exacted our retribution against state targets instead.

Uh, what planet are you living on? Check the O2 mix in the air there. The man won, fair and square.

I fight for the Republic, not for God.
