National Security Policies – Democrat Party v. Republican Party

Let us examine a difference between elected Democrat Party leaders and elected Republican Party leaders on ‘National Security’.

President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and a majority of elected Capitol Hill Democrat Party leaders allowed and/or supported the prosecution of Navy SEALS in Military Courts.

These same elected Democrat Party leaders reject captured terrorists to remain at GITMO. This majority elected Democrat Party leaders support a terrorist attempting to bomb an airplane on Christmas day and/or a terrorist who attempts to leave a bombed SUV in New York’s Times Square to be tried in US Courts. These majority elected left-wing Democrat Party leaders choose to reject these radicals as captured terrorists; therefore, to be tried in Military Courts.

The majority of elected Republican Party leaders criticize President Obama and others for ‘allowing the prosecution’ of Navy SEALS in Military Courts or any other courts. These four captured insurgent radicals were terrorists who killed four Blackwater agents as they were transporting supplies for a catering company to Americans. These terrorists tied two of Americans’ hands behind their backs and threw them off a bridge. One of the captured terrorists, ‘Ahmed Hashim Abed’, was one of the US terrorists’ ‘most wanted’.

These majorities of elected Republican Party leaders want terrorists to remain at GITMO. These majorities of elected GOP leaders desire to try every terrorist attempting to bomb an airplane on Christmas day, and/or a terrorist who attempts to leave a bombed SUV in New York’s Time Square to be declared as radical wartime insurgents and be tried in Military Courts. These elected Republican Party leaders choose to ban each and every terrorist from attacking America ‘ever’ again.

This is representative of a major ‘National Security’ difference between elected Democrat Party leaders and elected Republican Party leaders.

A majority of elected Democrat Party leaders oppose trying terrorists in Military Courts, but favor trials in US Courts.

A majority of elected Republican Party leaders favor terrorists be tried in Military Courts, not in US Courts where a terrorist case may be dismissed on a simple judicial error.

Now, President Obama has appointed nominee Elena Kagan for a lifetime appointment to the SCOTUS. Obama’s nominee, Kagan has ‘NO’ experience as a Judge anywhere, not even in your local county District Court. Additionally, Elena Kagan opposes our US Military recruitment on college campus and did oppose college campus recruitment while serving at Harvard Law School Office of Career Services.

A majority of elected Republican Party leaders support US Military recruitment on college campuses and others, as our US Military protects our US Flag, our US Constitution, and our freedoms.
