Lotus: Suffering from BDS
Apparently Obama isn't liberal, aggressive or radical enough for Lotus over at Folo. First, she complains about his apparent decision not to prosecute officials in our government who sanctioned tough interrogations of suspected or captured terrorists, ignoring the fact Obama has access to better information than she does, since he began receiving national security briefings this year. Hmmm....maybe Obama saw what was actually going on instead of what some rag of a newspaper thought was taking place with these prisoners. She even wrote how disgusted she was over the Democrats' failure to tar and feather Joe Lieberman today (although I'm sure she never had a problem with Jim Jeffords voting with the Democrats). However, she has a solution for the Bush gang:
"I can’t easily imagine prosecutions in U.S. courts of Cheney, Addington, Yoo, et al. (whom Bush is very apt to preemptively pardon anyhow). But at the end of an investigative process taking place outside the Obama Administration, they — and why not Bush himself? — need to end up facing the World Court at The Hague. And then the monsters need to rot in jail." Obama Is Too Soft
So if our duly elected and appointed officials, including Democrats such as Obama (whom she gushed over throughout the campaign) do not prosecute Republicans to her liking, she wants a FOREIGN POWER to seize our leaders and force them to submit to its jurisdiction and prosecution, placing them on the same level as......Goehring, Milosovic and Tojo. I should not be surprised at her anti-American stance as she once advocated publicizing the names of military and CIA interrogators who were used to question prisoners while completely blowing off any security concerns one might have for doing such a thing. (Surprise. The thread no longer exists.).
Such statements are not merely a case of someone expressing how strongly she thinks about an issue but instead crosses the line as she advocates foreign powers seizing and punishing our elected leaders, something in times past would be considered to be sedition. I don't like Obama. I didn't want to see him in office. I didn't like Bill Clinton. However, not for one second, regardless of what they do, do I want any foreign power or agency prosecuting them or claiming the right to punish them. The Roman Republic was doomed when the Lotuses in the Senate decided winning elections were not enough but instead decided criminalizing and prosecuting all political opponents was the preferred method of handling disputes. If one of our leaders does create a criminal act, that is something for American law and institutions to handle. Some things are bigger than a hatred for "all things Bush" and one of them is American sovereignty and freedom. We fought the American Revolution and suffered through numerous wars so we could remain free of foreign inteference and enjoy our liberty. If Lotus wants to play citizen of the world, she is more than welcome to forfeit her American citizenship and live by the ideals of the world.

Don't care who the president is.... but if a foreign power comes in to try to arrest them or whatever... IT's ON.
