Every time I let myself begin to think that the Moonbats on the Left can't surprise me anymore, something happens that proves me wrong. The latest was in the news today, and is brought to us by Nobel Laureate Betty Williams, who delivered the keynote address at the International Women's Peace Conference on Wednesday night. she ranted to a crowd of about 1,000 that President Bush has been acting treacherous and unconstitutional. Treacherous? Unconstitutional? How so, Madam Moonbat?

It is pretty obvious, given the name of the event organizers, that she is referring to the war on terror going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. More accurately, she is referring to the ongoing operations to secure Iraq and build a sovereign democracy.

Now ranting on about the President and how leads this country is one thing, and there should always be opportunity to debate the actions of any elected or appointed official, is one thing. It opens up an opportunity to set the record straight, at least when the Moonbats list examples of alleged wrong-doing rather than simply spouting empty rhetoric.

However, in the case of Williams's keynote address, she went too far. From Dallas Morning News:

"Right now, I could kill George Bush," she said at the Adam's Mark Hotel and Conference Center in Dallas. "No, I don't mean that. How could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that."

In the audio clip provided you can here a fair amount of laughter in the audience. Even Williams let's loose a chuckle.

As for me, I am appalled that anyone, especially someone who has been living in this country for any length of time, let alone American citizens, would find making a statement such as Williams made as being funny or even acceptable.

I remember a time when someone making such a joke would be immediately investigated, possibly hauled off to jail, to determine if it was just a stupid blunder or something that could be a potential threat against the President. Is Williams undergoing such an investigation, or is it simply being dismissed? Regardless of whether it is a joke or not, should she be allowed to maintain some high position as she currently enjoys (at one time she was appointed to the Texas Commission for Children and Youth). Should the Nobel Prize Commission take action to revoke her prize (if possible)? Would it do so if it could?

"It's hard for America right now. It's twisted. It's all wrong. There are so many lies being told. It's horrible, right now, to be an American and go out into the world."

If it is hard for America and for Americans, if there are so many lies, it is being told by the Moonbats on the left who routinely lie about the fact that Hussein had chemical weapons and the willingness to use them. Over 500 chemical weapons have been recovered since 2003. It is the Moonbats who call for a surrender to terrorists that will allow Iraq to be over run and turned into a killing field that would be far worse than what happened in Cambodia when the U.S. abandoned our allies in South East Asia. It is people like Williams who think that those of us who continue to support this administration when it comes to ongoing military operations in Iraq claim WE are not REAL Americans, but that the liars and fools who push for an immediate withdrawal and abandonment of Iraq are real Americans.

She goes on in the audio clip to state that Ireland adopted the Constitution of the United States. This is flat out wrong. I have read the Ireland Constitution, and it is not even close to the Constitution of the United States. Has this woman read either of these documents? I seriously doubt it, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a false claim.

"If you really are a patriot of the United States of America, you will be sure that the man next door to you has a loaf of bread on his table, because that's what this country was formed on."

In America, we have the inalienable right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. This means it is up to the guy next door to make sure he has a loaf of bread on his table, not me. I don't recall ever having a neighbor check to see if I had food on my table.

America is about taking responsibility for your actions. Every choice you make can lead you to the path of prosperity, or to poverty. The choice is up to each individual. And believe me, I've made a few choices that proved to be bad in my life, but I overcome the obstacles that were in my path as a result of those bad choices.

This is not to say we shouldn't do something to help others. Americans, including myself, do quite a lot, probably more than any other people on Earth, to help those in need. We do it primarily through charitable giving, helping others by choice. At that point, if my neighbor doesn't have food on the table, he should be able to go to any number of groups to get help. But I am drifting from the main topic of this piece..

This woman, Williams, not only doesn't know the U.S Constitution, or the Constitution of Ireland, she doesn't know history.

However, it is for her earlier statement concerning what she would like to do to a sitting President of the United States that earns her a Moonbat Award. There are very few limits on free speech, and she crossed that line with her statement, whether joking or not. I have also read on Wikipedia that this is not the first time she has made such an outrageous statement. There you will find that she used those same words in a talk to a group of school children.

Congratulations Betty Williams. I hope you get thrown in jail, your citizenship revoked, and deported. Okay, I'll settle for her getting tossed in the clink.
