While you were sleeping...

To get you in the loop... Here is an small part of the very chilling letter written to Attorney General, Eric Holder, from a lawyer (Andrew McCarthy) asked to take part in President Obama's roundtable discussion on the "Task Force on Detention Policy".

McCarthy declined the offer for MANY reasons including...
"Obviously, I am powerless to stop the administration from releasing top al Qaeda operatives who planned mass-murder attacks against American cities—like Binyam Mohammed (the accomplice of “Dirty Bomber” Jose Padilla) whom the administration recently transferred to Britain, where he is now at liberty and living on public assistance. I am similarly powerless to stop the administration from admitting into the United States such alien jihadists as the 17 remaining Uighur detainees. According to National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair, the Uighurs will apparently live freely, on American taxpayer assistance, despite the facts that they are affiliated with a terrorist organization and have received terrorist paramilitary training. Under federal immigration law (the 2005 REAL ID Act), those facts render them excludable from theUnited States. The Uighurs’ impending release is thus a remarkable development given the Obama administration’s propensity to deride its predecessor’s purported insensitivity to the rule of law."

PEOPLE do you not understand... "Foreign terrorists trained to execute mass-murder attacks cannot simply be released while the war ensues and Americans are still being targeted (quote taken from the letter too)." If America loses its security... its economy will fall even further until security it brought back. Remember the stock market crash after 9-11... but more importantly remember the 3000 people who died in the name of jihad.

these are some lyrics that always kick me into political reality:

United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night
America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for it's King

But here are even more moving lyrics that kick me out of politics and into God's arms:

who's your brother, who's your sister
you just walked passed him, i think you missed her
as we're all migrating to the place where our father lives
'cause we married in to a family of immigrants

my first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man
my first allegiance is not to democracy or blood
it's to a King & His kingdom

there are two great lies that i’ve heard:
“the day you eat of the fruit of that tree, you will not surely die”
and that Jesus Christ was a white, middle-class republican
and if you wanna be saved you have to learn to be like Him

but nothing unifies like a common enemy
and we’ve got one, sure as hell
but he may be living in your house
he may be raising up your kids
he may be sleeping with your wife
oh no, he may not look like you think

please wake up America.
