I was a child when Charles Manson’s gang killed Sharon Tate in the 1960s. This horrible event shocked even the most liberal of our citizens. After capture, Charles Manson and his cohorts were tried and sentenced in the U. S. court system, as they should have been because they were citizens of the U. S. Fast forward to a few days ago when Attorney General Eric Holder inferred that Charles Manson and Osama Bin-Laden have essentially the same rights! This appalling statement only added fuel to the increasing fire between the Obama administration and most Americans. In a bizarre continuation, Holder went on to say that Bin-Laden will never live to be read his Miranda rights. I wondered “why should any terrorist be read Miranda rights?”
The present healthcare debacle and the treatment of foreign terrorists as citizens not only confuses us but spits on our justice system. In a previous adventure, I spent years fighting the socialist system being foisted on us by this administration. Comments such as the ones stated by Mr. Holder make me wonder if my efforts were in vain.
Some have said that any complaint against Mr. Obama is tantamount to racism, I disagree, it is part of the American way of life. No one is above the law and no one is immuned from criticism. In all things, we should ask ourselves, regardless of the criticism, “does it make sense?” If it makes sense, then insist that the person being criticized answer the question, whether it is Mr. Obama or Mr. Holder.
