The enemy within
By Joseph Farah

With his latest best-selling book, my colleague Michael Savage has come up with a term that describes the real threat to America – "The Enemy Within."
There are some other terms I could use to describe Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and the senior senator from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy – traitors, leaders of the blame-America-first crowd, immoral cowards, treacherous appeasers to name a few.
But recognize that Kerry and Kennedy are not part of a loyal opposition within our country. They are leaders of a disloyal enemy within.
They are like a Trojan Horse within our midst. They are capable of doing more damage to this country than the Sept. 11 suicide attackers did. In fact, they may have already accomplished that.
Here are just two recent examples of the kind of rhetoric they are offering up while American troops fight for their lives in Iraq. You tell me whether you think this is the kind of talk you would expect to hear from responsible American leaders.
Kennedy: "On March 19, 2004, President Bush asked, 'Who would prefer that Saddam's torture chambers still be open?' Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers have reopened under new management – U.S. management."
Kennedy suggests the abuses at Abu Ghraib are similar to those of Saddam Hussein's torture chambers. Let me remind you that Hussein and his sons placed human beings in plastic shredding machines feet first. They drilled holes in the heads of human beings. They dipped them alive in acid. They raped women picked up off the street. They killed children in front of their parents and killed parents in front of their children. They chopped off limbs.
If he can't distinguish between those kinds of atrocities and the limited abuses of a few individuals at Abu Ghraib, he must still be hitting the sauce pretty hard. Furthermore, notice who Kennedy blames – "U.S. management." He doesn't blame the handful of abusers. He doesn't blame Bush directly. He doesn't blame Rumsfeld by name. He blames all of us. He blames all U.S. military personnel. We're all guilty – but particularly all U.S. military people involved in guarding the prisoners in Iraq.
Now let's look at the junior senator from Massachusetts and what he's saying.
Kerry: "What has happened is not just something that a few, you know, privates and corporals and sergeants engaged in. This is something that comes out of an attitude about the rights of prisoners of war. It's an attitude that comes out of how we went there in the first place, an attitude that comes out of America's overall arrogance as policy."
In case you weren't sure what these people believe on the basis of Kennedy's attempt at satire, Kerry underscores the point. America is to blame. It's America's fault. It's your fault. It's our arrogance. We don't respect the rights of prisoners. We shouldn't have gone to Iraq in the first place – even though Kerry voted to go, before he voted not to go, before he voted to fund the troops, before he voted not to fund them.
I don't know how to say it any more clearly: These men are dangerous, anti-American radicals and zealots. They are morally blind.
And, worst of all, they give aid and comfort to the enemy. Kerry, in fact, has made a career of giving aid and comfort to the enemy. He came to the nation's attention doing it in 1971 and he's still at it. Kennedy's brain, I suspect, is so pickled, he may not even know what he is saying.
Nevertheless, the bile that comes out of their mouths represents the worst kind of America-hating venom. They are not just wrong. They are the enemy within – both of them overindulging in all the creature comforts America the beautiful has to offer, while working overtime to destroy and subvert the greatest country on the face of the earth.
Traitors at the alphabet networks as well
As with all communist Rats and media swine. Good find here!
Kerry and Kennedy are there because of the enablers. And, it is true that the same could be said for all of the Dem leaders today. What happens after the election will be crucial. Should Bush win, and I think he will, he must promote fundamental taxation change, complete the overhaul of the military, tighten/secure our borders and cut the federal government drastically. Am I just talking to myself?
Farah gets it exactly right.
