Blind Loyalties

No Griping about the Groper allowed! Plus: Serious about Syria. And more.

(Page 5 of 9)

br> -- Mike Webster br> Dallas, TX /p>

George Neumayr wrote that the California Republican Party is the party of gropers. Well, has anyone told George that he is a "Political Vigilante" with his article. How the hell did I come up with that one? Well, he is denying Arnold the proper forum to defend himself against unsubstantiated accusations. The proper forum should have been a court of law and not an election or appointment. Investigations should be done by law enforcement instead of political operatives.

It is not only the right of a citizen to seek justice against those who wrong them, but, it should also be the duty of a good citizen to play a role in maintaining civility in this country. If people seek revenge outside of our systems of justice, those people are not concerned citizens; rather, they are just another group of vigilantes. That fits the author of "A Party of Gropers."

Anita Hill, Paula Jones, and the fifteen who came out against Arnold have basically mocked our systems of justice while also trying to undermine our elections and appointments just for political reasons. These people should have initially used the systems of courts instead of interfering with elections and appointments. I find it disgusting that they do not respect our courts or our selection of government officials. I find these people to be worse than the perpetrators. What right does somebody who does not honor our system of justice have to interfere with a democratic process? The institution is far more important than any candidate or political party; yet, we have clowns who think that this country is no longer greater than them.

Care to join the scumbag club by being a vigilante? I am flabbergasted by the fact that both of our major parties have resorted to a vigilante style of politics. They are the same as the lynch mobs who carried out atrocities years ago. To those who cannot respect our system of justice, our selection of government officials, and the will of the majority, "Go to hell and get out of this great country." Depriving one of due process is just another way of depriving all of us of our rights.
