A CALL TO HONOR AND CONSCIENCE

When the news first broke of Eric Holder's decision to bring the 9/11 terrorists to New York for trial, I had such an immediate visceral response I became nauseous and furious at the same time. Like a large number of concerned American citizens, I was immediately concerned with the possibility of another terrorist attack, and I remain so today. What a perfect opportunity for another strike at the heart of our country. Besides the obvious fact that these are enemy combatants and should be tried in a military court, I also immediately knew there would be no shortage of attorneys, looking to make names for themselves, willing and eager to be appointed as part of the defense counsel representing these reprehensible human beings. I understand there is also opportunity for the appointment of counsel in a military trial. However this was a mute point since the terrorists had already chosen to plead guilty to all charges and had asked to be put to death. End of story; no drama, no side shows, no risk to our homeland, no risk to out citizens. But here we are today preparing for the "trial of the century". I think more appropriately, the most possibly devastating ignorant legal decision of the century. Everyone is talking about the obvious costs of such a lengthy trial as well, primarily the cost of maintaining security and safety. Well what about the cost for the defense counsel? The Federal Government is paying for their services as appointed counsel. So not only are these "attorneys" willing to take such a case to make a name for themselves, they will have a financial windfall at the government's expense. This trial will drag on and on and the attorneys will be paid to keep the circus going. As hard as I have tried, I can find absolutely nothing good coming out of Holder's ill conceived decision to hold this trial in New York.

I'm sorry America but this is a perfect snap shot of where our country is and what it has become. We should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing such a true travesty of justice. I call on the attorney's being appointed to defend this band of terrorist thugs to stand up with conviction and honor and decline the appointment. I realize this would likely be a career killer and an attorney refusing to serve would likely be disbarred but there are other even greater consequences for the country. This is a time for honor and conscience America. This is a time to once again put our country first. When did we finally take that final step over the line and become a society of entitled takers instead of givers. When did we step over that line of God, country and family to "ME" first? When did our personal greed finally take over our love of our country. We have become a society of whining takers; expecting, believing and demanding the government take care of us. We have lost sight of the fact our well being is up to us first and it is our personal responsibility to take the necessary steps to ensure our well being. Again, I call on everyone to act with honor and conscience! Don't allow our country to be dragged into a judicial circus for the terrorists.

Find the taped interview from yesterday with Scott Fernstermaker, one of the appointed attorneys for the terrorists, and listen to his comments. It should make you so angry you will not believe what you hear. He said these "gentleman" have been "demonized" for the last eight years and they have a "right" to tell their side of the story finally. His comments simply made my blood boil. Mr. Fernstermaker is also a graduate of the US Naval Academy. If he wants to make a name for himself, I have the perfect name: Traitor. How could anyone with honor and good conscience defend these reprehensible excuses for human beings. I call them terrorists for lack of a better word. It is time America to go back and forget all this political correctness and put our country first. It is time to stand up to the political correctness police and stand on the firm foundation of honor and conscience and put GOD back into our country and our lives. It is in fact the people like Scott Fernstermaker who have been instrumental in the destruction of our country. We have for far too long allowed the whiners, the entitled life suckers of society, the traitors to suck the life out of our country. We owe the terrorists nothing short of being put to death as quickly as possible. It is simply asinine to think they deserve a "fair trial" in the best judicial system in the world. If we can learn once again to act with honor and conscience, we will no longer sit back and let the survivors of 9/11 be the only voices of dissent and rejection of a wholly political decision to try these animals in civilian court. It is time America to once again stand up with honor and conscience and say enough to the onslaught of political correctness that has destroyed our country.

To Mr. Fernstermaker and all like him I say you are a traitor. You have no honor and you have no true conscience. If you possessed either, you would reject an appointment to be any part of the defense counsel appointed to represent the animals that actively participated in the killing of thousands of innocent Americans! You Mr. Fernstermaker and all like you are the life suckers of our country and it is time you are seen for what you are and once and for all be seen in the light of day! You are a disgrace to America sir! You and those like you have destroyed our country with your politically correct rhetoric and your greed covered up under the sheath of justice. For Mr. Holder who, in his ill conceived vision of justice decided to try these terrorist on American soil, I put forth this challenge: If one innocent American, policeman, fire fighter, military personnel looses a life as a result of your decision to try these terrorists on American soil you should at the very least be charged with criminally negligent homicide and at worst, treason. As the Attorney General of the United States it is your responsibility to make and give the best legal decisions you can. This being an example of your decision making, you will risk the individuals of this country and the country as a whole for your own personal political agenda. You, like Mr. Fernstermaker, are an insult to America and her people. Mr. Holder it is time for you as well to stand up and act with honor and conscience. It is time to be courageous America! Stand and be counted! Let honor and conscience be pivotal guides in your choices and actions!
