THE CONSERVATIVE VIEW
BY RUSSELL TURNER
PIN THE TAIL ON THE DONKEY
Anyone who has ever watched a group of children play pin the tail on the donkey will usually get a good laugh. When the blindfold is placed over the eyes of the children they lose all sense of direction and there is no telling where they will eventually place the donkey's tail. Playing children's games can be amusing but when so-called adults start playing politics without a sense of direction it can become very serious quickly.
If we ever needed proof that the judicial branch of our government is out of control, the recent temporary restraining orders by some liberal activists judges placed upon the travel ban that our president enforced by executive order should remove all doubt. The law is very clear; the president has the right and authority to protect this nation from all threats foreign and domestic. It is time that our judiciary protects the constitution of this nation and stops being a patsy for the political left. Our president has daily security briefing from all around the world, he has firsthand knowledge about the terrorists and their minions that want to do us harm. I would bet the farm that all of these activist judges do not have a clue about what is going on outside of their plush comfortable offices. Some people think it is sacrilegious to criticize a judge but because of their allegiance to political correctness they are putting all Americans at risk.
To be honest I started writing this column a couple of days ago, today I heard of the terrorist attack in England. The person responsible was a follower of ISIS and that organization was celebrating the killing of at least four people and the injuring of many more. I am tired of listening to some elected official make the statement of giving condolences to the victims and their families. Donald Trump made the campaign promise to screen the people that we allow to enter our nation. He is trying to do just that but the left and their crony judges are doing all in their power to put up roadblocks. Their actions are bordering on lunacy. How much proof do they need to see the stupidity of their actions? Don't they remember 9/11, Fort Hood, The Boston Marathon, etc... The individuals committing these terrorist acts did not come from the same country but they all had one thing in common. They all belonged to a religion that demands that they kill anyone who does not belong to their belief system. They also believe that if they die killing the non believers they will immediately go to heaven and have 72 virgins at their disposal.
The United States is my country and nowhere in our constitution does it grant rights and privileges to people in other parts of the world. Our nation is not a dumping ground for the world community. These judges are acting like a bunch of kids playing pin the tail on the donkey. In this scenario it may not be so funny; their action has the possibility to put Americans in danger.
