The Real War

From The Washington Times:

A Maryland-based immigrant-advocacy group is distributing guidebooks instructing those targeted by federal immigration agents during job-site raids not to cooperate with authorities if they are arrested or detained.

The eight-page, two-color illustrated book lists what rights "people who are not United States citizens" have if detained by immigration agents, details what to do if served with a warrant or charged with a crime, and urges them to remain silent if they are arrested.
The book also says they should refuse to provide authorities with any information about their immigration status.


Included in the book is a "Know Your Rights" card to be cut out and presented to arresting agents, showing that those detained choose to exercise their "right to remain silent, the right to refuse to answer your questions" and to "refuse to sign anything until I consult with my attorney."

The book, which features cartoonlike drawings of armed black and white police officers escorting Hispanic men in handcuffs and shows babies crying because their fathers are behind bars, is the product of CASA of Maryland Inc., working with other organizations.

There is nothing in this that anyone should find surprising. I use it to illustrate a point which I have made repeatedly. The real enemy we fight is not hiding in a cave in the mountains of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Nor is the true enemy in the Kremlin or Beijing or Tehran or Damascus.

Oh, we have enemies in those places, but the true enemy, the one which could actually defeat us is leavened throughout our society. They are the people who produce guides for alien criminals to make the work of our immigration agents more difficult. They are the environmental alarmists who seek to use bogus concerns about "climate change" to cripple our economy. They are the "peace activists" who are trying to engineer a US defeat on the battlefield in Iraq in order to tilt the balance in the Middle East in the favor of the radical jihadists in order to drive the US out of the region and destroy America's only true ally in the area, Israel.

The true enemy is the political left in all its many forms. From the radical lawyers attempting to extend full constitutional protections to terrorist combatants in Guantanamo to network "journalists" attempting to use forged documents to cause the defeat of a Republican president in an election to "civil rights activitsts" like Sharpton and Jackson who are doing everything in their power to prevent racial wounds from healing they all have one goal in mind.

That goal is to weaken this nation and destroy its ability to resist the dangers which threaten it. The left is to the body politic what the Human Immunodeficiency Virus is to the body physical.
