Or so Thomas Roeser at the Chicago Sun-Times seems to be saying. There’s also quite a lot of frank truth here:
The media have spent much time pondering why we were caught unprepared on 9/11 when 3,000 of our fellow Americans were murdered. Our failure to ward off the terrorist attack was in part caused by what Herbert Romerstein told Human Events editor Terrence Jeffrey: It is the absurd restrictions clamped on the FBI by Attorney General Edward Levi (a Chicagoan), who served in the Gerald Ford administration, and by liberal Democratic Congresses in the 1970s.
The article makes a lot of sense. I have said all along and I will repeat myself: The administration currently in power is not interested in curtailing civil rights on a permanent basis. But in order to smoke out the traitors, fellow-travellers, and terrorists in our midst, it’s going to take a bit of inconvenience on the part of those of us who are good citizens. To those who would say otherwise, my only comment it: if you’re innocent, what have you got to worry about?
It goes without saying that I wouldn’t trust a Clinton or Gore administration with this sort of power. So thank God once again for the red states, where the common sense in this country lives.
Criminals don’t like cops nosing around because it usually means trouble — for them. To which I say, that’s the way it ought to be for those who hate this country and all it stands for. Like the women Michelle Malkin wrote about yesterday.
