Why It Is So Important that KSM Be Tried

For many people, the idea of trying the man who admitting to plotting and funding the 9/11 attacks is mouth-watering. After 8 1/2 years, those who lost family members, friends, loved ones, and Americans in general will finally get the justice we craved so much it's lead us into two wars. So when I read this I was a little surprised.

Apparently despite being in government himself, our buddy Lindsey has little faith in our criminal justice system. According to Graham and some of his collegues, trying Khalid Sheik Mohammad is too important to follow our Constitution. They believe that since we are at war (illegal war without a congressional declaration), KSM is equivalent to a soldier in the battlefield and should be tried by military tribunal. Not only should it use a military court, but it should use the  "Military Commissions Act of 2006," adds John McCain.

I'll give you a second to wipe the tears from your eyes over the laughter that argument caused.

Lindsey Graham Bows To Climate Change

linIt's obvious Graham has no principles.

Conservative Republican (sarcasm) Lindsey Graham embraces the entire Climate Change hoax.  He has decided to join Senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman to support a bill that would tax heat trapping pollution. Graham claims that he was fully convinced when he listend to the scientists talk about the causes and effects of greenhouse gases in his trip to the Arctic region with John MCcain and Hillary Clinton. He also seemed to show little concern over his highly critical Republican collegues.

You can find the jaw-dropping article and his tedious interview with the AP  here.

10/15/09 Nightly Roundup

  • Could the definition of a "hate crime" be extended to nonviolent free speech?
  • Also on the PC vein, the yakking of pundits  will keep neocon Rush Limbaugh from minority ownership of the St. Louis Rams NFL franchise.
  • But while supposed "progressives" gossip about Rush, Lyndon Baines Obama appears poised for a massively escalating of the War on Afghanistan.
  • Yet Barack doesn't seem to understand that bereft of sufficient revenue, only inflation can pay for the carnage of his Imperial legions.
  • Meanwhile, Ron Paul defends the pro-peace, pro-market position against the "green" warmonger from South Carolina
  • Paul's son, too, is a force to be reckoned with.

Ron Paul Wipes the Floor with Lindsey Graham

We posted Tuesday about Lindsey Graham attacking Ron Paul and his supporters saying that he doesn't represent the Republican Party. He called these supporters angry white men, and Ron Paul responded on CNN:

It is time to stand up for true conservative values and believing in the Constitution.

R3VOLUTION!

The People are beginning to Demand Paul-like Representatives

If there's anything Lindsey Graham does for the Republican party, it's that he reminds his constituents that political principles are more important than winning.

In these videos, Graham shows no shame as he continues to defy principle for compromise in the name of "winning." Since when did morality become all about winning? Regardless, the last time I checked, Mr. Moderate John McCain didn't exactly excite voters in last year's presidential race other than to vote against Democrats. Honestly, I'd rather have one Republican in office who actually stood behind the Constitution than a super majority made up of two face Graham-clowns.

Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than watching a gym full of people yelling at a neocon that they demand a congressman like Ron Paul who follows the Constitution. The highlight, however, has to be where one gentlemen asks Senator Graham when he's going to pull an Arlen Specter and switch parties. Caution: watch your volume level, the crowd gets rather rowdy when cheering for Constitutional declarations!
