Lindsay Grahamnesty, defending the “round us all up and send us to Gitmo” bill:
“We’re facing an enemy, not a common criminal organisation, who will do anything and everything possible to destroy our way of life,” he said. “When you join al-Qaida you haven’t joined the mafia, you haven’t joined a gang. You’ve joined people who are bent on our destruction and who are a military threat.”
Graham added that it was right that Americans should be subject to the detention law as well as foreigners. “It is not unfair to make an American citizen account for the fact that they decided to help Al Qaeda to kill us all and hold them as long as it takes to find intelligence about what may be coming next,” he said. “And when they say, ‘I want my lawyer,’ you tell them, ‘Shut up. You don’t get a lawyer.’”
The same Grahamnesty would really find no problem in giving citizenship to those Al Qaeda goons, would denounce as “racism” and “discrimination” any suggestion that we not give citizenship or legal residency to hostile non-whites, and would give amnesty to Al Qaeda linked illegal aliens currently in the United States.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and dogs, this is what they mean when they say “bassackwards.”
