Pardon me if I am seeing red this morning:

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and four others accused in the attacks will be put on criminal trial in New York, Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to announce later Friday.

WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?

So, Barack Obama will be staging his own New York production of Chicago, with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as Roxy Hart (”You had it coming, you had it coming, you only have yourselves to blame….” ). We will be treated to months upon months of front page headlines giving a platform to this lunatic war criminal. The courthouses and City office buildings in lower Manhattan (City Hall, the state courts, the immigration offices, the Court of International Trade, the US Attorney’s Office, the DA’s office, and the main city office building that does marriage licenses and the like are all within about a two-block radius of the federal courthouses and the Metropolitan Correctional Center) will be snarled with massive security, as if lower Manhattan needs more traffic and more armed men. We’ll have to have pretrial hearings on the inevitable countless motions about how KSM was apprehended and the evidence against him collected, undoubtedly to the detriment of vital sources of intelligence, like when we lost the ability to track Osama bin Laden by cellphone after our tracing of his calls was revealed by a prosecution under the DOJ Criminal Division then headed by…Eric Holder. And that’s even before he starts in on the sob stories about being waterboarded. I’m not seriously concerned that KSM stands any chance of being acquitted, but a hung jury? It only takes one person with extreme political or religious views, one juror who just can’t abide the death penalty (even assuming Obama’s DOJ pursues it). Just imagine the controversy, if there are Muslims in the jury pool, over what questions prosecutors are permitted to ask them and whether they can be challenged. And of course, it sends the message to our enemies that there’s nothing you can do to us that will get you sent through a process rougher than the one we used on Michael Vick or Martha Stewart.

I know I have spoken and written many rough things about Obama, but as Michael Moore would say, most New Yorkers voted for the man - why is he doing this to us?

[UPDATED - the flag has been re-allowed, scroll to bottom for details]

On Memorial Day and Memorial Day weekend, Americans honor their fallen soldiers, those whose lives were lost in wars that won, sustained, and protected the freedoms Americans enjoy. Many other nations and peoples owe their freedoms to blood spilled by American soldiers as well, but in general we ask nothing of foreign nations in the way of thanks. We didn’t do it for their gratitude - only for their freedom.

But in America - on our own soil - if you have no gratitude for the fallen dead, and if you have no special fondness for the families of military people, then the minimum asked of you on a weekend like this is to just STHU. Go bar-b-que something, hang with the family, do whatever, but in general get out of the way of people who want to honor our fallen warriors. Especially in Texas, where love of country is actually cool.

But…………..apparently not in Mansfield, TX, a suburb in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Carol Cavazos of local CBS Channel 11 reports this: In short, a woman, who is in a military family, who hung a 3×5 American flag in her cube in preparation for Memorial Day weekend, came to work Friday to find that a co-worker had taken the flag down and left it on the floor, and had complained to their boss, saying she “found the flag offensive”.

Yeah. The “offended person” was also not born on US soil.

No wonder she wants population control included in the “stimulus” plan so badly: more people means way more unemployment!

Consider: There are currently just over 305 million people in America. However, as Rep. Pelosi (D) warns us in the video below, “Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs.”

Wow. Now that’s some powerful stuff there. Who says Democrats from San Francisco aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer?

Then again, maybe this is an example of the same Obamathematics that turned 12 dead in Kansas tornadoes into “10,000 dead, an entire city destroyed.” The ratios sure seem to be fairly consistent…
