Prosecuting Patriots

The Left's Love Of Show Trials

by Ralph Peters - April 23rd, 2009 - New York Post

With the ugly sanctimony of those who never had to make hard decisions, the American left demands show trials of those who kept us safe after 9/11. Wrapping themselves in repugnant self-righteousness, the MoveOn.org set wants political prosecutions. Should President Obama acquiesce, he won't be furthering the rule of law, but dismantling it.

Show trials have long been popular with leftists. Those who don't conform to each jot of doctrine become "enemies of the people." From Stalin down to Putin, and from Mao to Castro, vengeance disguised as law has been a mega-hit.

What has to happen before Americans start to wake up to the fact that Barack Obama is a tyrant. This is exactly how tyrants start. Show trials, then persecutions, then tyranny. Obama is a repeated liar. He promised he did not want to participate in the persecution of those who kept us safe. He lied. He has repeatedly lied. As an example, Obama proclaimed for all the world to hear that he embraced the Alinsky deceit ... yet vast numbers of his own supporters ... and even larger numbers of his opponents ... remain to this day ignorant of the smiling malevolence Obama represents. Why? What will it take to rattle these gullible and deluded individuals out of their complacency? Do they really think the sincere smile means Obama is not malevolent? Will this flip flop on something so evil change their minds?

Wake up America. You are losing your freedoms with a speed that is staggering.
