In an attempt to get my point across clearly, I request that you attempt to ignore the names here because, for the purpose of this essay they just don’t matter. I had originally written this with the names omitted but, for context, names are required.

I was paying attention to this race and I knew who I was voting for long before I heard that Ciro Rodriguez was a traitor to America. Why he is not jailed for treason is one of those questions I will be asking for a long time to come. A more disturbing question is why do Democrats continue to support him? Even former President Clinton showed up this weekend to prop him up. Considering Ciro Rodriguez’s background, which is shared below, any person who continues to support this traitor should also be swept up and thrown in jail.

Ciro Rodriguez Ties to Islamic Extremists and Known Terrorists

(San Antonio-TX) As a member of Congress, Ciro Rodriguez co-sponsored legislation (H.R. 2121). If passed, it would free convicted terrorists by repealing the Secret Evidence Act, this act is a valuable tool used by federal law enforcement to protect our national security, which has resulted in the capture of suspected terrorists, such as Nasser Ahmed. During Rodriguez’s efforts to enact this legislation, he sponsored a summit on Capitol Hill where an estimated 500 supporters gathered to listen to speakers, including Abdurahman Alamoudi, a convicted terrorist and a direct political contributor to the Ciro Rodriguez campaign. At the Rodriguez summit, Alamoudi made remarks in support of releasing the “Blind Sheik,” Omar Abdel Rahman – who was convicted for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Ciro Rodriguez’s dangerous judgment regarding this legislation and his acceptance of support from known terrorists may be based on the influence of his former close aide Asim Ghafoor.

Ghafoor worked for Rodriguez in Austin before joining the ex-Congressman in Washington. Since leaving Rodriguez’s employment, Ghafoor has worked as a political consultant, spokesman, and public relations director for several Islamic organizations with known ties to terrorists, including the Global Relief Foundation and Care International. Ghafoor also formed a PAC, whose only contribution was to Ex-Congressman Ciro Rodriguez. Ghafoor’s previous statements illustrate his ultimate goal in influencing Ciro Rodriguez: “We [Muslims] are here [in the U.S.] not just to be nice to people, not to say great things about people, but to bring truth and justice and Islamic ways to this country….you should rule by Islam otherwise you’re a Kafir (unbeliever, non-Muslim).”
During a press conference today, Congressman Henry Bonilla offered his former colleague Ciro Rodriguez an opportunity to explain several key questions resulting from Al Ortiz’s review of this information:

• Why did you co-sponsor the Secret Evidence repeal bill knowing it would put suspected terrorists like Nasser Ahmed back on the street?

• Why did you sponsor a conference with suspected (and later convicted) terrorists at the U.S. Capitol?

• What are your guidelines for accepting and returning contributions from individuals who are suspected of having ties with Islamic extremist organizations or are sympathetic to their causes?

The above information is not speculation or someone’s opinion, they are documented facts.

Ciro Rodriguez is still in the running and still has massive support from progressives, liberals and the left in general here in Texas.

With all of that being said, the purpose of this article is not to bash Ciro Rodriguez. That is being accomplished well enough already and they don’t need my amateur help. The purpose is to question why anyone would still give support to Ciro Rodriguez. Why, considering Ciro’s horrible judgment, would an ex president show up to support him? To show Democrat Party solidarity? They would not stand by Senator Joe Lieberman because he supports the war and the battle in Iraq in particular. What message does that send us?

The Democrats will not show solidarity with someone who supports the battle in Iraq but they will send out the cavalry (to include former President Clinton) to support a Democrat who aids, sympathizes with and takes money from a terrorist who tried to gas ten’s of thousands of Americans.

I don’t care if it is a republican or a democrat, people like Ciro Rodriguez and any and all of his supporters should be shamed, shunned and jailed.

This, to me is the final 100% proof that the Democratic Party is not only the party of socialists (as is abundantly proven) but has turned into the party of terrorists. It’s all the proof I need to know that they are enemies of this nation. I don’t need to wonder any longer. You can’t tell me that former President Clinton did not know this individuals history concerning his support of terrorists, he knew and he still showed up to give him support. He gave support for the party, not the nation.

Why do liberals continue to support someone with a record like this? Why?

As Bill puts it over at Ejectejecteject.com in his essay Tribes.

…“The mobs of murdering Hutus and swarms of slaughtering Serbs are as different racially as it is possible to be, and they are cut from precisely the same cloth.”…

Emphasis mine

And as I state in my essay Think About It:

“why can’t we all just get along?”… “because we are humans, and as long as that is so, there will always be someone who wants to steal from you, someone who would want to hurt you, someone who would kill you and ultimately, on the very top level of madness, someone who would want to destroy your entire way of life and your country along with it.”

Ultimately, because they are crooks all the same on varying levels, they have always been around. From the petty street level mugger, to a former president who supports an individual who receives donations from terrorists (and that individual himself), to a nation’s dictator proclaiming that he will destroy Israel and the West. They are cut from precisely the same cloth and they support each other. An enemy of my enemy is a friend of mine, birds of a feather flock together, show me who your friends are and I will show you who you are… just ask the liberals.

Liberals keep showing us your true colors, they will eventually run.

The colors of America won’t.
