Rocky Warren
Taking the U.S. Over the Edge
January 29, 2010

It's very obvious that Barack Obama and his Administration are simply hell-bent on taking the United States over the edge into socialism. Far enough over that there's no possibility of turning back.

Giving known terrorist sympathizers Tariq Ramadan and Adam Habib entry into the United States is bad enough. It's even more troubling when the White House and Justice Department give known "enemy combatant" terrorists the same rights as an American citizen! In this case, the lack of Miranda and "waterboarding" will cause the court to declare all statements and evidence against all defendants to be "fruit of the poisoned tree." The terrorists will walk out of court laughing and they're supporters in the street will use the occasion to pound out a recruiting drive that will strengthen enemies and weaken America.

And in the shadow of all that, what does the White House and State Department do? They give Interpol an invitation into the U.S. and extend them a near-complete immunity. An immunity which is denied to and wouldn't even be considered appropriate for American police!

What in the world is going on here? Does the White House, President and State Department not know that some members of INTERPOL are "agents" of nations, factions and nationalities who consider themselves "at war" with the United States?

Most "agents" in Interpol would have no more idea how to handle a service sidearm or pair of handcuffs under our set of laws, than fly to the top of Mt. Everest for a pin-point landing. Traditionally. the vast majority of INTERPOL has functioned in an intelligence gathering capacity. They make up the links of the chain, connect the dots and call local authorities to make arrests, provide security and incarcerate offenders. But in the United States, apparently, all that may very well change. The immunity given to INTERPOL agents by the Obama Administration falls just short of "diplomatic immunity" which is a very powerful tool for evil in the wrong hands. Foreign diplomats have been expelled rather than charged for sexual assault, traffic accidents that caused injury to citizens as well as other things that would have routinely caused the incarceration of an average citizen.

In addition, INTERPOL is NOT made up of trained police officers and they're definitely not trained to the level that American police are. Run from a policeman in most "developing nations" and the policeman shoots you in the back. That's not acceptable here and is rightly considered murder in the United States. But now, INTERPOL can do that and get away with it!

Likewise INTERPOL agents could commit some act which is totally against American law, board an aircraft, claim immunity and be out of the country before anyone could challenge it. Let me get this straight. Now Interpol may have "immunity" to enforce "International Law" and extradite American citizens? Is that correct Mister President? If you gave Interpol agents "immunity" when they grab an American and chivvy them onto an aircraft to take them to some "developing nation" hellhole...what exactly do you and the State Department intend to do about it Mr. President and Ms. Secretary of State?

Has the State Department, The President, any of his Administration or Legal Advisers read the American Constitution? Don't they all know that it's against the Constitution to "give away sovereign powers" to any foreign agent or government? Hmmm...Apparently not. How sad.

I guess Barack Obama, as his next "major reconciliation with the world" will instead of acting like the President of the United States, will sign an agreement with the International Criminal Court. At which point the ICC will sweep in and scoop up George W. Bush and haul him off. All so terrorists can testify at his trial for "crimes against humanity."

Wait...I'd better not give President Obama any ideas here.

The President needs new ideas to succeed, and he's not getting them with his ever-present "blame-Bush, economic disaster, and World apology" tour. President Obama isn't getting good advice from any of his advisers or "czars." And so far, he appears long on talk and lacking in completion. To all too many today in the United States, President Obama's "change" isn't headed anywhere but over the nearest cliff.

That might change prior to November 2010 and the President and his party definitely need to turn it around by 2012. But I believe that the American memory has suddenly been lengthened by an eye-opening dose of both tax-victimization and frustration. Given the current feeling across the political landscape, the American voter will declare themselves tired of misdirected and unspecified "change."
