It's time Democrats start calling out republicans for their weak stance on terrorists. As I'm sure you are all well aware, the GOP has continually gone crazy at the notion that we prosecute terrorists the way we have prosecuted them for years. Our nation has a long, proud history of fairly trying murderers and madmen of all sorts of backgrounds and securing harsh penalties ranging from multiple life sentences to the ultimate punishment, the death penalty. So what are republicans suddenly running scared? We are the United States of America. We are not afraid of anyone else. We are the worlds only superpower. To listen to the republicans you would think Al Qaeda is a superpower.
Unlike the frightened, cowering republicans I believe strongly that the best punishment for these terrorists is to try them and convict them in the same city they hoped to destroy. Unlike the weak republicans I have nothing but the utmost respect and trust in the New York City Police Department, NY State Troopers, the FBI, Federal Marshalls, Court Marshalls and any other law enforcement entities involved in securing the courts for such a trial.
Let's face it, if the republicans are this afraid of a terrorist already in our custody, how are they going to react the next time we face an imminent terrorist attack?
