THE SIGNIFICANCE OF OSAMA BIN LADEN'S
PARTISAN APPEAL
By Christopher G. Adamo
WHAT THE AMERICAN POLITICAL LEFT HAS IN COMMON WITH AMERICA'S ISLAMIST ENEMIES: A SHARED
INTEREST IN WEAKENING & DESTROYING THE U.S. REPUBLICAN PARTY, THE BUSH PRESIDENCY & THE CURRENT
REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY WAGING THE WAR AGAINST ISLAMIST TERRORISM -- THE
DEPTHS TO WHICH THE CURRENT LIBERAL LEFTIST LEADERS OF THE U.S. DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAVE SUNK IN THEIR
ONGOING EFFORTS TO DEMEAN & UNDERMINE THE WAR ON TERROR & THEREBY ENDANGER AMERICAN NATIONAL
SECURITY, INCLUDING THE LIVES & PROPERTY OF LARGE NUMBERS OF AMERICANS -- THE STEADILY INCREASING
STRENGTH & CLARITY OF THE CASE FOR PROSECUTING LEADING LIBERAL LEFTIST DEMOCRATS & THEIR COLLABORATORS
FOR THE CRIME OF SEDITION AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
FULL STORY:
In light of Osama Bin Laden’s videotaped message to the West (or was it a press release from DNC Chairman Howard
Dean?), one might be given to muse that Liberal abhorrence for the President’s surveillance of incoming phone calls from
known terrorists might ultimately stem from self-interest. Perhaps, the Liberals simply do not want to be monitored as they
share strategies and talking points with the Al-Qa'ida leader.
Furthermore, the Democratic National Commmittee may decide to keep a copy of the Bin Laden tape, which could come in
handy during the 2008 election campaign season. Just as aspiring politicians feel compelled to pander in Spanish to the
increasing numbers of “undocumented voters,” so might Dean and the Democrats want to remind those
“Jihadist-Americans” in their native tongue which party will best ensure that their interests are served.
While such satire may be deemed overly harsh, in truth, it fails to fully convey the depths to which the current Democratic
Party leaders, along with their cronies in the media and the blogosphere, have sunk in their efforts to promote their
anti-American cause. And, as one outrageous example after another unfolds before the American people in the attempt of
Liberal Democrats to demean and undermine the war on terror, the case for their being guilty of sedition becomes ever more
crystal clear.
Among the most despicable, reprehensible, and yet entirely predictable examples of recent days was the manner in which
Liberal Leftist Representative Tom Lantos (Democrat - California) attempted to deride General David Petraeus, who
appeared before Congress to present a progress report on the current operations in Iraq. Without knowing or wanting to
know the facts offered by General Petraeus, Lantos pronounced his report a fraud. Thus was an honest patriot branded a
“liar” by the Liberal Congressman.
Of course, Lantos was hardly alone. This latest sorry episode represents nothing more than a continuation of widespread
ongoing Liberal efforts, involving virtually every prominent Democratic Party political hack, to undermine America’s
interests in winning the terror war. Yet, Lantos’s abysmal screed was particularly poignant, coming as it did on the eve of
the sixth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The fact that he was able to comfortably sit in his smug shallowness as he chaired the hearing, feeling no need whatsoever
to tremble and hide in some fortified bunker while waiting for the terrorists to launch their latest salvo, attests to the degree
of success with which the Bush administration has prosecuted the terror war on multiple fronts. But do not expect any
sincere expression of appreciation from Lantos and his kind.
One cannot help but infer that, in their alternate reality, the preservation of traditional America and its values of liberty and
justice represents a greater menace to their own worldview and agenda for the future than the horror and brutality of
militant Islam.
Elsewhere, the anti-war crowd continues to reveal its true nature with similar venom. In a full-page ad in the New York
Times, the far-Left George Soros organization “MoveOn.org,” referred to the General as “General Betray Us.” Yet, aside
from the truly juvenile nature of such mockery, MoveOn was, in a twisted sense, being somewhat truthful with this
characterization.
But, first, one must understand who constitutes the “us” to which they refer, namely the American political and cultural Left.
From their perspective, the recent victories and successes by our heroic forces do indeed represent a “betrayal” of their
anti-American hopes and dreams.
To bolster this point, it is worthwhile to recall President Bush’s May 1, 2003, landing on the Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln.
The purpose of that intentionally flamboyant act was obviously to inspire American troops on the ship and throughout the
military, while dispiriting the enemies of real America.
Sadly, the latter group included blindly partisan Liberal Democratic Party hacks who, having already invested their political
futures in the current Republican administration’s failure in the terror war, saw the occasion of success and celebration by
the President not first as an admonition to Islamic terrorists, but rather as a danger to their own self-serving political
aspirations.
In another time, the carrier landing would have been universally hailed as a sure sign of America’s military prowess and the
inevitability of its victory over the enemy. But that was back before the American Left and the Democratic Party redefined
“patriotism” as cheering for the successes of those who hate the traditions and values that propelled this nation to greatness.
So, it should surprise no one that Bin Laden’s message echoed so many other aspects of the Liberal Democratic agenda.
From the alarmism of “Global Warming” to the reordering of society’s entire concept of right and wrong, the similarities of
Bin Laden’s words to those of the Democratic Party platform far outweigh any differences.
Bin Laden understands that the derisive words from Lantos and others to General Petraeus are merely the latest in a battery
of anti-American blather that more and more represents the “soul” of the Democratic Party. Of course, by the time Lantos
and his kind realize that they are in no way immune to the danger posed to the rest of the country by their irresponsible and
selfish actions, it may be too late to correct their errors.
With growing militancy, a belligerent Islamic culture is exerting its influence throughout the world, with the obvious intention
of completely reordering society to fit its belief system. And, with each passing day, it becomes an increasingly difficult task
to avert such a fate. The best manner of confronting them is on an aggressive basis, according to U.S. terms.
If America is not united in its opposition to the onslaught of the Islamists, it is doomed as one people to suffer their ravages.
It is atrocious that, either through unfathomable malice or sheer ignorance, the Democratic Party political machine is working
in concert with the Islamists to this end.
