Yesterday I read an email originating from a PlanetEarthGirl attacking Bush, but creatively written as his resume. It was well done in its construction, but mind boggling in its conclusions. Here are some excerpts:
-I attacked and occupied two countries. I am the first president in US history to order a military occupation of a sovereign nation against the will of the United Nations and the world community.

- I withdrew from or abrogated more international treaties than any president in US History.

- I refuse to recognize the jurisdiction of the World Court.

-I refuse to allow international or Red Cross access to US prisoners of war, I no loner abide by the Geneva Conventions

-I refused the United Nations election inspectors access during the 2002 US elections.

- I am the first President in US history to have the United Nations remove the US from its Human Rights Commission.

What's interesting is how the Left looks up to world organizations. One criticism is about attacking a sovereign nation, but the gist of the email is that we should yield our own sovereignty to some world authority. There are a lot of Americans that are uncomfortable being Americans. They need some validation from the world. It isn't enough that we've defeated the horrors of Bolshevikism and Nazism in the 20th Century when no one else would or could. What have we done for the world lately? Are these Howard Dean voters are just Naderites and other hippies?

The rest of the email is the standard stuff about how dumb Bush is and how he spends too much time at his ranch. Personal attacks are fair game. After all, Bush is President. The email criticizes him for fundraising and his National Guard service. If Clinton supporters want to cast that in a bad light, so be it.

But if liberals are really suggesting we yield our Constitution to some world authority that is nothing short of sedition. They’re lucky that Bush is President. If Abraham Lincoln were President, people like this would be in jail without benefit of the writ of habeas corpus.
