For eight years, anytime someone criticized a leftist, we heard the wails out outrage. If anyone merely insinuated that their tripe was not helpful to the country, we were told that dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
Of course, that was when the dissenters agreed with the leftards.
Now, in 2010, dissenters are dangerous. How do I know?
Because we just learned from the White House itself that dissent helps Al Qaeda.
And no, I didn’t draw that conclusion; that’s what they said.
In an oped in USA Today, John Brennan — Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism — responds to critics of the Obama administration’s counterterrorism policies by saying “Politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve the goals of al-Qaeda.”
Brennan writes that, “Terrorists are not 100-feet tall. Nor do they deserve the abject fear they seek to instill.”
In the oped, titled “‘We need no lectures’: Administration disrupts terrorists’ plots, takes fight to them abroad,” Brennan writes that politics “should never get in the way of national security. But too many in Washington are now misrepresenting the facts to score political points, instead of coming together to keep us safe.”
Wow…
So if you’re critical of the President, you’re a terrorist.
Meet the new boss… Same as the old boss…
