But that’s the thing. These people have elevated the opposition to doing ANYTHING....and the only barrier is if they can get away with it. No constitution, no tradition, no fairness.
If only they’d put the same zeal in fighting the terrorists.
Well, obviously, because he is not worried about the middle, he is worried about his base. This betrays much about the current state of affairs among American leftists.
Why is he concerned for the base? I think it is because the base of the Democrat party is either out of control or, conversely, utterly under the control of one man, George Soros. Either the mob at moveon.org and Daily Kos have so utterly intimidated elected Democrats that those Democrats are more concerned with mollifying their extremists, or something else is afoot. These two possibilities are only superficially inconsistent because George Soros indirectly controls these bloggers.
Have a look at FrontPagemagazine.com and look at our articles describing how George Soros has seized control of so much of the Democrat party. I think it is entirely possible that Schumer routinely gets his marching orders from George Soros. It is now becoming more and more apparent how extremely left-wing Soros really is. He clearly regards Republicans in general and the Bush administration in particular to be the equivalent of Nazis. He has stated that he would gladly gave his fortune to have seen George Bush defeated. What would he give to see George Bush's legacy of judicial appointments undone?
I think Soros can direct people like Schumer either by stirring up the bloggers or by dropping the word to those who must go to him with begging bowl in hand.
I also think that George Soros is becoming a real and present danger to American democracy.
