Johnny Punish: Global War Against Extremism Hits Snag at Fox News:

Judge Pirro Jumps off Extremist Bridge. Today, Judge Jeanine Pirro of Fox News gave an effective rant against the mother of the Boston Marathon bombers essentially calling for her to be taken to Gitmo, and tried as a terrorist, for raising Jihadi children, and making comments that were clearly anti American. In listening to Judge Pirro, she had many salient and clear headed thoughts that this pro humanity writer actually agrees with, however, her conclusion is that we should suspend the American justice system to deal with such people that anger her. Check her out what she actually says in this video: Now, Jon Stewart of The Daily Show has dealt with this same issue. But he did so in a much different way. Last week, he outlined how Fox News was advocating the complete destruction of our civil liberties, our Bill of Rights, and US Constitution. He did so in a funny way, it had this writer on the floor laughing his ass of (LHAO). Check him out here, warning! Hold on to your chair! The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Get More: Daily Show Full Episodes Indecision Political Humor. The Daily Show on Facebook. Both were effective speakers for their audience. But their arguments highlight the divide, not only within the USA, but internationally in that many people don't really know whom we are at war with, and what to do about it? Are we at war with Islam? Christianity? Judaism? Iran? Chechneya? Oklahoma? Newtown? North Korea? Some crazy mother? Whom are we at war with? As it turns out, many countries, not only the USA, have an extremist challenge at home, and have to deal with domestic terrorism. Surprise! It is worse in many other countries! And you thought the USA was all alone? So while it feels like Americans are unique in experiencing terror, the real truth is that it's a worldwide challenge. What is truly needed is global examination of this challenge, but that is not on the table right now. Instead, we have Judge Pirro, and her fans cheering and yelling at the top of their lungs, to suspend rights in America, when they feel it warrants. They don't seem to understand that the whole world has this challenge, and that suspending rights won't resolve a darn thing, except hurt everyone else, who is normally law abiding, creating even more anger. Moreover, the hawks certainly do not aim to acknowledge that the USA itself is engaged in global terrorism, both directly and indirectly, causing deaths daily around the world, as it seeks to achieve its' global hegemony. This aggression is NOT a good way to win friends and influence people.
