Why did it take so long? How much money was wasted extending every legal courtesy that the Western world has to offer to a primitive who utterly rejects every detail of the legal and political institutions of that same West, and is working to destroy them? How much government money was spent on him, on his upkeep, on the lawyers on both sides, on the judges, on the heating of the courtroom, on the recording of testimony.

The Law is not an ass. But sometimes, as in wartime, other rules, quicker rules, apply. Niceties are no longer so nice. This should now be defined, or at least understood by many, to be wartime. It will save a lot of time, a lot of money.

And do not be impressed, much less susceptible to their meretricious arguments, when groups wrapping themselves in the mantle of “rights — the ACLU for example — thoughtlessly take the side of those who, just like the Nazis, would undo or destroy everything of value in the Western world. What was once a noble enterprise now has a different set of people, less intelligent, less wise, much more hell-bent on promoting themselves and a certain ideology of mad tolerance of the real and very powerful enemies of tolerance in the Western sense. Many of the groups — not all, but many — that like to call themselves “human rights activists” or “civil rights activists” have been taken over by those who would not be recognized as such by those who founded those organizations, a hundred or even thirty years ago. They are now, these people, in many cases — and the ACLU is one — in the “rights racket.” Don’t help them, don’t lend them support or credibility, but mock and expose them and their tendentiousness, so that the true, as opposed to the false, defendes of individual liberties, can proceed.
