For Christ’s Sake Already

    Those stalwart guardians of the public weal and our freedom ─ the New York Times, the Washington Post, the families of dead terrorists, Texas Representative Ron Paul, and law-abiding mass-murder clubs like Al-Qaeda ─ are Shocked!...Shocked! that a gentle AMERICAN CITIZEN named Anwar al-Awlaki and his even-gentler AMERICAN CITIZEN comrade in peace, Samir Khan, were recently incinerated by an American drone. (After which they were transported by a covey of angels to Muslim Heaven, there to dwell in everlasting sexual intercourse with a boundless supply of cute little virgins.)

                 
            Anwar Al Awlaki (L) and Samir Khan, murdered Sept. 30 by an unconstitutional drone 

    What savage outlaws we Americans have become, obliterating two AMERICAN CITIZENS as they were happily driving around the lush Yemeni countryside enjoying their hard-earned vacations abroad (seven years for Anwar, three years for Samir). Can you believe the phony, trumped up pretexts for killing these two dedicated citizens? Waging war against the United States? Arranging for the murder of random American citizens? Working with terrorists to turn the world clock backward a thousand years so that humanity could again wallow in the bliss of a Muslim caliphate under the benevolent protection of all-knowing Imams like Anwar himself? It is to laugh.
    What is wrong with us as a people?
    How have we fallen so low as to equate the trivial lives of a few hundred, or a few thousand, or a few hundred thousand Americans with the beauty of living in a brave new world of Sharia where women, as in times of old, will once again enjoy the heartwarming luxury of slavery and where men will experience the soul-cleansing thrill of prostrating themselves ten or twenty times a day with their assholes aimed toward Mecca?
    By what right does our government see fit to ignore our constitution as interpreted by learned academicians, brave legislative weirdoes, and magisterial media conglomerates that have devoted their lives to subverting that very constitution and to destroying the fabric of the country where they live and work?
    I for one (or two or three) am absolutely outraged at such high-handed flouting of legal precedent. American citizens (if not foreigners) have every right to be exonerated before a jury of their peers no matter how vile the crimes they have committed. And if they don’t want to come home to face trial, why...why...why...it’s...it's...just not nice!
    Ron Paul, that great legal mind and exemplar of tolerance, patience, morality, and constitutionality, has called for impeachment of the President or the attorney general or their lawyers or whomever he can think of. How dare we defend ourselves against our enemies, he muses, against traitors, against mass murderers, against psychopathic religious fanatics when they are AMERICAN CITIZENS? If they were British or Chinese or German or Maori it would be okay he seems to suggest. But AMERICANS? Outrageous!
    My Gawd! this entire affair reeks of horrid memories of lawless Israelis violating Argentine sovereignty by kidnapping Adolf Eichmann or brazenly interfering in the internal affairs of Uganda to transport a few useless Kikes back to their homeland.
    As Congressman Paul and many other outstanding American thinkers and constitutional experts so aptly point out, the entire matter could have been solved with a simple, polite iPhone text message to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh (now that he’s back from his three-month holiday in a Saudi Arabian hospital) humbly requesting the return of the vacationing pair of gentle American Muslims to the United States on misdemeanor charges of inappropriate behavior and failing to register their motor scooters.
    Such a civilized, commonsense action would have solved the entire matter in a trice in accord with any number of constitutional amendments and international protocols. And if there was any subsequent difficulty, we could have brought the matter to the attention of the United Nations. No doubt Russia, China, the Arabs, and our friends throughout the Muslim World would have leapt at the chance to support us.
    As a further gesture of good will, if the peace-loving Yemenis had any qualms about our motives, it would have been an easy matter to assure them that the trial would take place in California before the same judge and jury that handled the O. J. Simpson case so brilliantly.

    
All right. Enough heavy-handed sarcasm.

1. It’s glaringly obvious that the New York Times is pulling out all the stops in hopes of somebody or other leaking a memo that will claim our government is evil, thereby securing yet another Pulitzer for the Newspaper of Record and its staff of traitors.
2. Ron Paul is not only a bigot, but a fucking idiot as well.
3. If a man chooses to dress up like a bit character from one of Woody Allen’s lesser comedies and spend his time on earth plotting to murder his fellow human beings, he should be wiped off the face of planet.
4. If some brainless, hate-filled young jackass worships such an insane creep and spends his time on earth doing the madman’s bidding, then he too should be executed like the savage beast he is.

    What it boils down to is this: If someone attempts to kill one of my children, I’ll blow his fuckin’ brains out if I can get the drop on him.
    And the New York Times can go straight plumb to hell.

    That last section was so inspiring that I felt an almost insatiable desire to punch a random coworker square in the face!

      Funny thing, Loo, as I was writing this post I found myself getting more and more pissed off. I mean, what kind of people are these who indulge in legalistic quibbling about the rights of madmen to murder other people while they sit in their gourmet restaurants sipping fine french wines.
