From One News Now. As stated in my prior post, the American left is the enemy within.

A Lebanese-American journalist and author says U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, by holding talks with the Syrian government, is emboldening enemies of the United States and sending them the message that the U.S. is divided in its support for the war on terror.

Speaker Pelosi has said she hopes to rejuvenate U.S. relations with Syria when she meets with dictator Bashar Assad and other Syrian officials in Damascus. But Brigitte Gabriel, author of Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America (St. Martin’s Press, 2006) and president of AmericanCongressforTruth.org, believes Pelosi is sending the message to America’s enemies that the U.S. is divided.

“Already, radio talk-show hosts in the Middle East and Arabic are making fun of our government,” Gabriel notes, “saying that even the speaker of the House of the American government thinks that George Bush is stupid, and [that] they are here to represent the half of America who does not agree with the American aggression and wrongdoing in the Middle East.”

This is “the last message we want to send our enemy,” the author notes. And yet, she asserts, “this is what Pelosi’s visit is doing to Syria.”

During the U.S. House speaker’s Mideast trip, she visited with Lebanese Parliament speaker Nabih Berri, a Shiite leader with the terrorist organization Hezbollah. Gabriel says Berri helped Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah get the terrorist group started in Lebanon.

The Lebanese-American journalist says Pelosi’s recent meeting with Berri in Lebanon signals to the Arab world that she’s “working with those who kill American Marines in Baghdad,” since it is “in the Ain El Helwi camps in Lebanon that the Hezbollah is developing the IED, the roadside explosive bombs that are being detonated against our troops in Afghanistan and also in Iraq.”

Those improvised explosive devices are made in Lebanon and “are transported from Lebanon via Syria into Iraq to kill our troops,” Gabriel says. “So what type of message is Pelosi sending to the Arabic world,” the author asks, “when somebody like her will go and meet with our enemy over there?”

Since the Iranian hostage crisis, the U.S. has learned that negotiations with dictators do not produce any positive results in the Middle East, Gabriel contends. She says Pelosi, rather than meeting with al-Assad, Berri and the like, should instead be meeting with American generals who served in the first Gulf War and the Iraq War and who know what strategies are effective for defeating America’s enemies in the Middle East.

One News Now has the article. I just happen to agree.

A best-selling author and former presidential attache hopes a new book he is working on will awaken patriotic Americans who want to see victory in the war against “Islamo-fascism.” The national defense analyst believes America’s biggest enemy is one that exists within — the American Left.

Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson (U.S. Air Force, Ret.) is chief operating officer at the David Horowitz Freedom Center in Los Angeles. His book War Crimes: The Left’s Campaign to Destroy the Military and Lose the War on Terror (Crown Forum) is due out in June. Even so, the former Clinton aide believes it is important to talk about the subject now. In his book, Patterson will outline why he believes the U.S. cannot win wars as long as the Left wields significant political power.

“You’ve got a situation where the American Left is choosing to side with Islamo-fascists,” says the Clinton aide. “What does that tell you about what their true intentions are?”

The author is concerned about what that portends for the nation. “I think we will never win another war militarily,” he says. “We will lose our way of life, we will lose the freedoms … and liberties we have in this country if we don’t defeat the enemy from within — and that’s the American Left.”

Patterson says it is unfortunate, but those who are currently suffering because of liberals’ policies are not the liberals themselves. “The people who are paying the price obviously aren’t the folks back in the United States,” says the retired military officer. “It’s the young men and women in uniform who have sacrificed so much and who want to win this thing.”

Patterson says “secular liberals and secular progressives” hate America and everything it stands for, and would much rather see the U.S. defeated than victorious in Iraq.

Bookworm posted this. I first saw the I am John Doe while reading Ironic Surrealism. Bad Example said to pass it on. Just doing what I’m told. The whole ordeal started with Michelle.

Dear Muslim Freedom Fighter/Patriot/Hero/Martyr/Brother,

You do not know me. But I act as lookout for you. You are my friend. And I am yours.

I am Huff Po.

I am flying my private plane. I am riding in my limosine. I have never ridden a bus. And the subway? Feh. That’s for the little people. I am living in a gated community. I always use the VIP entrance. We’ll probably never actually meet unless you’re holding the door for me.

I am your flag-burner. I am your effigy-hanger. I am your high-calorie hunger-striker. I am your unshaven documentary-maker.

I am Huff Po.

I will never forget the example of the thoughtless, disruptive passengers of United Airlines Flight 93, and how racist it was of them not to just sit back on 9/11 and let the brave Muslims land the plane safely after the pilot… fell unexpectedly ill.

I will never forget those stupid, racist passengers and crew members who tackled the unfairly-accused, alleged “al Qaeda shoe-bomber” Richard Reid on American Airlines Flight 63 before he had a chance to explain that he was just using that match to find a dropped contact lens in the darkness by his feet. Perfectly understandable. Happens all the time.

I will never forget the racist over-reacting of actor James Woods, who pointlessly pestered a stewardess, claiming that several Arab men sitting in his first-class cabin on an August 2001 flight were behaving strangely. Sure, the men turned out to be 9/11 hijackers on a test run, but come ON! It was only a TEST! Who freaks out over a TEST?

I will march with a “Bush = Hitler” sign when Homeland Security officials ask me to “report suspicious activity”. That’ll show those Brownshirts!

I will mock my local police department’s admonition “If you see something, say something”. Yeah, I see something… a Nazi goon in a blue uniform!

I am Huff Po.

I will applaud your Zionist-conspiracy-hating, American-imperialism-bashing scholars.

I will donate to your misunderstood mosque leaders as reparations for the injustices your people suffered during the Crusades.

I will raise my voice against the subjugation of your women and religious minorities to greedy American corporate interests like Halliburton and Wal-Mart.

I will embrace your attempts to educate my children with your wisdom and different truths in our schools. YAY! Diversity!

I will link to your cool YouTube videos of American mercenaries getting what’s coming to them.

I am Huff Po.

I will protest law enforcement initiatives to spy on your innocent tourists, cut off the meager funding that allows you to obtain food and medicine for your children, and disrupt the excercise of your bomb-related freedom of speech.

I will build tunnels under our borders and donate my lawyer’s time if you run afoul of America’s oppressive immigration laws.

I will eventually consult a dictionary about this “Sharia” thingy of yours, but right now I’m just too busy speechifying on the perils of global warming in my limo, charity dinners, DNC fund-raising pool-parties, the halls of Congress, our national monuments, the radio and television airwaves, and outside the President’s ranch.

I will silence any cruel, right-wing criticism that might offend you. Mean-spiritedness is NOT free speech.

I will call in a few favors to assist your Beltway lobbying groups in moderate clothing so that they may air their many legitimate grievances. I will be right next to you shrieking “profiling” or “Islamophobia” if you don’t get your way. Or maybe “Bush = Hitler”. Man, I can NEVER get enough of that one!

I will put sensitivity above all else. Above safety, my family, my country, multiculturalism… No, wait… not that last one.

I will do whatever you want me to. Because I’m your friend. And I know you would never hurt me.

I am Huff Po.

Hey! What’s with that explosive vest?
