There seems to be a lot of questions going on just recently about how we (the United States) are to treat Homegrown Terrorists (HGTs) such as Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Malik Hasan and Incompetent Times Square bomber and naturalized citizen Faisal Shahzad.
There are also several other good ones in our history including: Aldrich Ames, Timothy McVeigh, Benedict Arnold and yes, sorry, the Confederacy. All of these took up arms or attempted an act of war in one form or another against the United States.
Now, U.S. Senators Scott Brown (R-Mass) and Joe Lieberman (I/D-CT) are proposing legislation designed at stripping naturalized Americans of their citizenship if they are affiliated with a foreign terrorist organization.
They are doing this because apparently nobody has told them that the crime they committed, as well as the punishment, is already covered in our Constitution.
I don’t know what is more concerning, that we have HGTs or that elected officials don’t know we have directions on how to handle them.
This one needs no debate.
What are HGTs doing when they do things like Nidal and McVeigh did? They are conducting an attack, or act of war, against the nation and her citizens.
Now, Article III, section three, of the United States Constitution says, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
“The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.”
Simply put, if you conduct an attack or act of war against the United States, you are guilty of treason and you will have your fate decided by the Congress. NOT some U.S. Court of Appeals or even the Supreme Court, but the Congress. That the sentence is death and that all of his relatives are not permitted t profit from his/her death.
This was so important to the founders that Treason is the ONLY crime mentioned in the document. They did not mention murder or theft or assault, but treason; it was the highest of crimes. It remains so today as well.
So there is no need to debate whether they have rights, it matters not if they are Mirandaized and it doesn’t matter where they grew up or what god they believe in. If someone conducts an act of war—including acts of terror—then under the Constitution they are traitors. The Congress has an obligation to follow their mandate as spelled out in Article III and execute a few of them.
Just to show we mean it, put it on the web and send it to Al Jazeera let everyone who is even considering attacking us again know that they will be executed, no exception.
I mean, aren’t you just a little damn tired of just being lucky. There is no reason why all of the most recent attempted attacks on us failed other than the nitwits trying to launch them were morons. We are not always going to be that lucky: either one is going to stumble into success or they are going to send a smart one. Then it will be 9-11 all over again and some will ask “why?”
because we ignored our directions from the Founders and did not make examples of them.
These people need to die they are our enemies and they chose that path. Sorry time for you to go.
I left out traitors Richard Reed a.k.a. the Shoe Bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab a.k.a. the Underwear Bomber and John Phillip Walker Lindh a.k.a. the American Taliban, simply because I didn’t need to name all of the new ones.
They need to die too.
