Collins Report

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Here are a few facts we can’t overlook.

*A retired Army lawyer speaking at a TEA Party rally this past week explained the dangers this trail poses to national security. He predicted a “civilian” trial will lead to the exposure of some of America’s most important military secrets and methods of keeping us safe since 9-11.

During the trial of John Walker Lindh he was in charge of a team of military lawyers whose only job was defeating ACLU filings designed to expose America’s secrets.

He confidently predicted this would happen again during this trial, but sadly concluded the military’s lawyers wouldn’t prevail because they’ll be fighting the ACLU Holder and Obama.

*The federal death sentence was reinstated in 1988. According to the Federal Death Penalty Resource Counsel Project since then there have been NO juries less likely to hand down a death sentence than those in New York City. So far New York’s federal prosecutors have asked their juries to vote for the ultimate penalty for defendants facing capital punishment 19 times. In all but one single instance ( 6%) they voted for life sentences instead. The nationwide average for federal juries voting to impose the death penalty has been 33%.

* Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his gang have already offered to plead guilty provided they are sentenced to death. So why do we need a trial?

*If Holder and Obama really wanted death sentences they’d try this case in the Northern District of Alabama at Birmingham. Only a handful of states currently have more inmates on their death rows.

*As Deputy Attorney General, Eric Holder first did nothing about “prosecuting” the terrorists who attacked the USS Cole killing 17 Sailors on 12 October 2000, then sat quietly as Obama ordered the charges against the bombers be dropped.

Not American, not patriotic

The real purpose of this trial is to put America and the Bush Administration on trial and humiliate us before the world. Barack Obama and Eric Holder are two men who reside in our country but are not Americans in any real sense of the word.

They are unpatriotic.

The drooling half wits who voted for Obama last year have blood on their hands now that Obama’s cowardice and dithering have left our war fighters in Afghanistan swinging in the wind while he looks for a way, not to make the right decision for them and us, but to make the right decision for Barack Obama and his Marxist horde. Men have died because of this feckless and poor excuse for a man and still more will die because of his outrageous decision to bring this disgusting spectacle to the streets of New York City.

Neither of these men have any understanding of our Constitution nor do they care to cultivate one. Remember this when you are tempted to sit back and do nothing next year while others fight for your freedoms.

What have you done to defend American freedoms today?

This day in history November 20

1962 Cuban Missile Crisis ends with the Soviets backing down and agreeing to remove missiles from Cuba. President Kennedy ends the quarantine of Cuba in return proving standing up to tyrants is always the best policy.
