How Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) who represents lower Manhattan Voted on Counter-Terrorism
H.R. 2703

Counter-terrorism - The bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building lifted from obscurity a Clinton Administration proposal to increase the powers of law enforcement in the name of fighting terrorism. The measure gave the government the power to use secret evidence to deport immigrants it accuses of being "terrorists" and to exclude aliens merely because they are members of a disfavored foreign group. The bill won approval in the Senate by a vote of 91 to 8 and a vote of 293 to 133 in the House.

The ACLU Urged a Vote Against the legislation and Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) who represents lower Manhattan, NY voted AGAINST this legislation.


TOPICS: Miscellaneous; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS:
I saw Jerrold Nadler today on C-SPAN on the front steps of the White House sounding like a Barry Goldwater hawk. He began his political career as an anti-war activist. For some reason, he seems to have changed his attitude toward counter terrorism and military funding. Better late than never.

Liberals have been saying, "We don't need missile defense, we need to spend the money on protecting us form terrorism, which is the more likely scenario" they claim. Then when it comes time to vote for these measures, they vote against them. Why? Because they are lying in the first place. They hate America and don't want her defended.

Great find. Bump for Fox News. Jerry the Red was worried about losing a few illegal voters back then. I wonder how many voters from his district he lost for real this week?

What we need to fight terrorism is not a reduction in freedom in America. What we need is lots of dead terrorists.

We need Bib Laden dead. We need his family and friends dead, and his home town cluster bombed. If he's got a dog, hunt it down and kill it. The only way to deter those unafraid of death is to threaten whatever they're fighting for. Let them know for certain that if they hurt us, every person, place or thing they ever knew or loved will be obliterated.

We also need Arafat's head.

The CIA knows where terrorist training camps are - we need to nuke them. Let noone in the world be willing to tolerate terrorist activity in their neighborhood, for fear that they will be caught in the blast that will follow.

We need to dig Saddam Hussein out of his bunker with a 20 megaton nuke. The "poor innocent people of Iraq" have had a decade to overthrow him. They didn't. Perhaps in other nations the fear of state terror will be outweighed by the fear of America, and the people will rise up.

We need to kill every single official of the governments of Afghanistan, Syria, Lybia, Iran and Iraq.

Dealing with terrorism will cause suffering, but our first principle should be that, if at all possible, Americans will suffer last, and the countrymen of the terrorists will suffer first.

So you're saying Nadler voted the correct way?

No. I am saying that liberals like Nadler have blood on their hands for their anti-military, anti-defense, liberal globalist positions of the past and their newfound hawkish attitude makes me sick. It shows how hollow these socialists are.
