This made me laugh; Or maybe it didn’t…
So is it a joke, or do we really intend to do these things, when the next Democratic president takes office — one not directly tied to the far-right terrorist groups themselves, as George W. Bush has been, but one willing to use the new American tools of terrorism against all terrorists, not just brown ones?
I propose we don’t tell them. I propose we leave them in the dark, and let them wonder. If this were indeed merely a bout of deeply unfunny satire, not telling them so might be the cruelest joke of all.”
From the comments - against this modest proposal:
William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!
Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
William Roper: Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!
Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?
This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!
And, again from the comments, in favor of it… maybe…
Thank God Almighty for this legislation - we can finally Right this country now. Just Diebold the election for a Democrat - any Democrat - and let’s get the blood-bath started. The ends will justify these means for the cause is righteous. A good Patriot would do it.
