Cowardly Democrats.. do they Enable TREASON....?

This is going to be a difficult post to write, so it will probably be edited "live" while being posted.

The question is, "AT WHAT POINT DOES Democratic Party COWARDICE transgress the line of TREASON: ENABLING a party, faction, and regime in its systematic march to destroy America's constitutional government?

Already we have plenty of evidence and supporting documentation to support this charge:

#1. The ANTHRAX ATTACKS on the offices of Democratic members of Congress, then Majority Leader Tom Daschle, and then Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy. The anthrax letters - envelopes with a fine powder in them containing "weaponized" lethal antrhax spores - were accompanied by crudely drawn threats supposedly written by Arab terrorists written against the "Zionist" tendencies of the US government. However, considering that Arab terrorist had, just over a week previously, attacked at least 4 US airliners with murderous intent with NO warnings or indication of their murderous intent, it strains credulity past the breaking point to imagine that such terrorists would target TOM DASCHLE and PATRICK LEAHY? when they could have instead sent dozens of such letters up and down the eastern seaboard to various critical targets, such as the Pentagon, other military bases, and more governmental offices, WITHOUT the attached "warning" threats.
In short, the ANTHRAX ATTACKS were almost certainly NOT the results of Arab terrorists, and were instead the products of a very skilled and very competent career - lifelong - expert in the bioweapons field. Speculation has centered on such bioweapons expert(s) WITHIN THE US MILITARY bioweapons community. According to such speculation, the intent of the Anthrax ATTACKS on Senator Daschle and Senator Leahy's office was to intimidate ('terrorize') what was perceived in 'right-wing' military circles as "OBSTRUCTION" to the radical right-wing agenda as espoused by President Bush and the Republican Party. A equal and complimentary purpose of such an attack would be to stimulate and create support for additional spending in the US bioweapons industry - by blaming "foreign terrorists" for the attack.

What is important here is the Democrat's response to this possibility, ney probability, that the ANTHRAX ATTACKS were NOT created by Arab terrorists. In a word, THERE HAS BEEN NO DEMOCRAT RESPONSE. Senator Daschle, Senator Kerry, Senator Lieberman, Senator Biden, and all the other Democrat "leaders" HAVE TAKEN THE ADMINISTRATION AT ITS WORD, that the attacks were by "foreign terrorists."

The other example that is well documented in supporting evidence, if not expounded on in commentary and "news" reporting, is Timmy McVeigh's BOMBING ATTACK ON THE US GOVERNMENT BUILDING in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. By all accounts Timmy McVeigh was an ardent listener to RIGHT WING HATE GOVERNMENT RADIO, as well as a member of right-wing "militia" paramilitary groups. America has a long and actually proud history of citizen, patriot volunteer "militia" organizations. The Battle of King's Mountain, South Carolina, during the American Revolution was entirely fought by citizen soldiers, the backwoods mountain men volunteer militia of the Carolina and Georgia hills, and their victory over the Royal Army (actually green-coated Royalist militia) was THE FIRST Patriot victory in the South in the dismal months after the devestating Patriot losses at Camden, Charleston. This battle, as small and remote (and relatively unknown to modern historians) as it was, reversed the string of Patriot losses in the South, and would in less than two years lead to the Patriot victory in the Revolution over the British army at Yorktown.

So whether citizen militias are "Patriots" or "traitors" depends on whose ox is being gored. What is important in our discussion of Timmy McVeigh's bombing of the Murrah building is that McVeigh was a Gulf War 1 combat veteran, a veteran member of the US military, and one of THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of Americans who listened to RIGHT WING HATE RADIO. Among the most infamous and prominent of HATE RADIO talkers - 'DJs' - was convicted Watergate burglar and former CIA operative G. GORDON LIDDY. In the wake of the infamous ATF raid on the Wacko "religious" compound of David Koresh and the Branch Davidians fundamentalist Christian sect (authorized by Clinton's Attorney General Janet Reno but planned, as the Somalia rescue operation had been, under the administration of George H.W. Bush (Sr)), G. GORDON LIDDY HAD ADVISED militia members and survivalist groups to "AIM FOR THE HEAD WHEN SHOOTING JACK-BOOTED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENTS."

The Democrats then, and Democrats now, have never formulated A RESPONSE to the close relations betwen "mainstream" right-wing politics and the radical right-wing, hate government, domestic terrorists cults, of which Tim McVeigh and co-conspirator Terry Nichols were but a small part.

Indeed, not only did Oklahomans proceed to elect hard-right Republicans in the 1996 election - not only did "HATE GOVERNMENT" radio get a FREE PASS from the Oklahoma federal building bombings - but today the DOMINATION OF the RIGHT-WING AGENDA in the press, 'news', media, cable and TV media is far greater than it ever was in 1995, by dint of the Democrat's (seemingly) permanent MINORITY STATUS, and the capture by the Republicans of MONOPOLY, ONE-PARTY RULE of the US governement: House, Senate, White House, Supreme Court, federal judiciary, federal government agencies (the CIA is currently being PURGED of non-Republican Party loyalists by President Bush's DCI pick, former Republican Rep. Porter Goss) - ALL products of Republican campaigns, governance, and legislation based to at least some degree on the fundamental "HATE GOVERNMENT" rhetoric espoused on HATE RADIO that motivated Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols (and potentially others) to attack a US government building.

The "HATE RADIO" and "HATE GOVERNMENT" rhetoric, in some degree or another allied with mainstream Republican goals and agenda, is only one component of the terrorist threat to America that the Democrats fail to appreciate, much less develop a coherent response to.

The other, equally insidious component of right-wing "HATE GOVERNMENT" rhetoric is actually a policy objective of some Republicans, namely the "STARVE GOVERNMENT" agenda as espoused by such Republicans as GROVER NORQUIST and his "Americans for Tax Reform" foundation.

For Mr. Norquist, the devastation, FEMA incompetence, and dragged out rebuilding of flood ravaged New Orleans is a DESIRABLE outcome of American affairs. Indeed, "Take government and shrink it to the size where it can be drowned in a bathtub", the infamous sound-bite of Mr. Norquists "shrink government" agenda, is merely a reformulation of President Bush's "Ownership Society" formulation.... as in, "The Plantation owners not only own the plantations and slaves, but OWN THE GOVERNMENT as well." Taking America as FAR BACK TO THE ERA OF PLANTATION ESTATES and legal, chattel slavery is the ultimate desire and goal of the Radical Right-Wing agenda. The only question is, "Just how far short of this goal would satisfy President Bush and other hard-right Republicans?"

Looking at the history of US sponsored death squads in Central America, South America, Haiti, the Philippines, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran (where US special forces sponsored "license to kill" units are allegedly operating), and the existance of slavery in remote areas of the Brazilian Amazon and Sudan genocide (long ignored by President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice),the answer may be "not far short of ante-bellum plantation slavery at all."

Why do Bush's best friends hate America?
Friday | October 10, 2003
http://www.dailykos.net/archives/004524.html


You can judge the character of a man by the company he keeps. And given some of Bush's friends, his character is not looking so good.

Like, say, religious wingnut Pat Robertson:

The US State Department has lodged a vehement complaint with prominent conservative televangelist Pat Robertson for comments suggesting that its Foggy Bottom headquarters should be destroyed with nuclear weapons, officials said.
Or how about anti-tax wingnut Grover Norquist:

NORQUIST: The argument that some who play to the politics of hate and envy and class division will say is, "Well, that's only 2 percent -- or, as people get richer, 5 percent, in the near future -- of Americans likely to have to pay [the estate tax]." I mean, that's the morality of the Holocaust: "Oh, it's only a small percentage. It's not you; it's somebody else." And [in] this country, people who may not make earning a lot of money the centerpiece of their lives -- they may have other things to focus on -- they just say it's not just. If you've paid taxes on your income, government should leave you alone, not tax you again.

GROSS: Excuse me one second. Did you just compare the estate tax with the Holocaust?

NORQUIST: No, the morality that says it's okay to do something to a group because they're a small percentage of the population is the morality that says that the Holocaust is okay because they didn't target everybody. "It's just a small percentage, what are you worried about? It's not you. It's not you. It's them."
So to recap, Bush's friends and political allies want to detonate a nuclear bomb in DC and think taxation is akin to the exermination of six million Jews (and other assorted 'undesirables').


Brilliant.

Be prepared to get emotionally upset., May 22, 2001
Reviewer: Felix Matathias (Centereach, NY United States) - See all my reviewsI have been living in the US for the past 5 years. It is in the nature of someone that comes from abroad to scholasticaly observe the new society that he lives in, compare the new culture with the culture of the homeland, and in general try to understand the laws of the new society that are formed by the people and the government.

This book taught me how superficial my understanding of the American culture was. This book is not only about McVeigh. This book is primarily about the gun culture in the United States and the antigovernment groups, their beliefs and their living habitat. I had never imagined that there are so many people in this land that share such antigovernement feelings. For the first time I understood what really gun owenership is all about. These are not simple matters. These matters run deep through the very formation of this society.

For most of the people McVeigh is a monster. This book does NOT follow this path. The authors try to follow mcVeigh from the time he was in the Army through his discharge, his frustration, his Gulf War experiences, the unemployment he faced afterwards, his reaction to the Waco incident, his involvement in the gun shows, his friendships. They authors try to understand how MvVeigh reached to the point of the bombing, step by step, trying to give a psycological explanation of what happened into the mind of this hero of the Gulf War. They do not justify what he did but they do not demonize him either. The authors themselves try to understand.

Anyone who thinks that MvVeigh is just a sick person or he does not have any logic or that he is just a monster must understand that this is only part of the story. America must understand why McVeigh was lead to the point of bombing a building full of innocent people. McVeigh was not always like that. America must understand what happened to him, what caused all the trouble. This is the only way that America can defend itself from this happening again. All the metal detectors in the world will not help a bit

Timothy McVeigh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Timothy James McVeigh (April 23, 1968 – June 11, 2001), considered by the FBI an American domestic terrorist, was executed for his part in the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing. Hundreds were injured and 167 men, women and children died when a truck loaded with improvised explosives was detonated in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building as federal offices began business for the day. Later a 168th victim died when a huge chunk of concrete crushed a rescue worker.

Most accounts say the ANFO explosive device arranged in the back of a rented Ryder truck contained about 5,000 lb (2,300 kg) of ammonium nitrate, an agricultural fertilizer, and nitromethane, a highly volatile motor-racing fuel. Prosecutors said McVeigh strode away from the truck after he ignited a timed fuse from the front of the truck. Although a day care center was located on the ground floor of the building, there is no evidence that McVeigh knew about it or purposely targeted children. However, it is suggested from prison interviews that McVeigh would have dismissed these deaths as necessary collateral damage.

McVeigh was a self described libertarian [1] and an anti-government extremist, with a long background in the survivalist movement. He was known to be a keen reader of the controversial book The Turner Diaries, which describes acts of terrorism similar to the one he perpetrated. Photocopies of pages sixty-one and sixty-two of the novel were found in an envelope inside McVeigh's car. These pages depicted a fictitious mortar attack upon the US Capitol in Washington.

Biography
McVeigh in the U.S. Army during the first Gulf War

McVeigh was born in Western New York State in Pendleton (near Buffalo) to an Irish-American Catholic family. His parents divorced when he was 10 years old. McVeigh and his siblings lived with their father, a devout Catholic who often attended Daily Mass. Although Timothy McVeigh claimed to be agnostic (http://www.guardian.co.uk/mcveigh/story/0,,504876,00.html), he was visited by a chaplain while he was in federal prison in Indiana. He attended the local public high school and after graduating joined the U.S. Army. McVeigh was a decorated veteran of the United States Army, having served in the Gulf War, where he was awarded a Bronze Star Medal. He had been a top scoring gunner with the 25 mm cannon of the lightly armored Bradley Fighting Vehicles used by the U.S. 1st Infantry Division to which he was assigned. He served at Fort Riley, Kansas, before Operation Desert Storm. His superiors and friends thought of him as a model soldier. At Fort Riley, McVeigh completed the Primary Leadership Development Course (PLDC), an Army school required for specialists and corporals to be promoted to sergeant. McVeigh had always wanted to join the Green Berets, the Army's Elite Special Forces. After his return from the war, he was given an opportunity to do this, but failed the grueling physical part of the indoctrination. McVeigh was devastated and decided to leave the Army.

Upon leaving the Army, McVeigh worked briefly near his native Pendleton as a security guard. But in the months before the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, he eventually returned to Junction City, which is outside Fort Riley, among other places. His lifestyle grew increasingly transient. Prosecutors said he made the bomb at a lakeside campground near his old Army post.

Through its serial number, the FBI identified a rear axle as coming from a Ryder Rental Junction City agency truck. Workers at the agency assisted an FBI artist in creating a sketch of the renter who had used the alias Kling. The sketch was shown in the area and on the same day was identified by manager Lea McGown of the Dreamland Hotel as Timothy McVeigh.

While driving on I-35 in Noble County, Oklahoma, near Perry, OK McVeigh was stopped by Charles Hanger, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper from Pawnee, Oklahoma. Hanger had passed McVeigh's yellow Mercury Marquis and noticed it had no license plate. McVeigh was arrested for driving without a license plate and carrying and transporting a loaded firearm. Three days later, while still in jail, McVeigh was identified as the subject of the nationwide manhunt.

In a book based on interviews before his execution, American Terrorist, McVeigh stated he decapitated an Iraqi soldier with cannon fire on his first day in the war, and celebrated. But he said he later was shocked to be ordered to execute surrendering prisoners, and to see carnage on the road leaving Kuwait City after U.S. troops routed the Iraqi army. In interviews following the Oklahoma City bombing, McVeigh said he began harboring anti-government feelings during the Gulf War. Some question the veracity of this claim in light of McVeigh's attempts to become a Green Beret after returning from Iraq.

In the wake of the standoff between federal officials and militiamen at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992, McVeigh said he was further influenced by the 1993 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms raid on the Waco headquarters of the Branch Davidians. He visited Waco during the standoff, where he spoke to a news reporter about his anger over what was happening there.

McVeigh had been a Republican until around 1993 and was a member of the National Rifle Association while he was in the Army. [2]
