Debbie Schlussel: Carl Levin Follies: Liberal Dem Senator Seeks Instant Citizenship for Islamic Terrorist
We're not fans of ultra-liberal phony, U.S. Senator Carl Levin (D-Michigan), a/k/a "Millenium Comb-over Man."
He is an enemy of America's military, Department of Defense, and pretty much everything else good for America. Levin has been in office way too long, and his undue arrogance is without match. At a 1980 rally, Levin implied to infirm senior citizen Jewish voters (bussed in from nursing homes) that if Ronald Reagan was elected, Christians would take over America, and the Holocaust would happen again. So where's that Holocaust, Carl? Levin's demagoguery is disgusting, but incompetent Michigan Republicans (who also like to be liberal all too often) repeatedly fail to field a legitimate, conservative opponent who can beat him.
Now comes word that Levin and multi-millionaire Whirlpool heir, U.S. Congressman Fred Upton (one of the most liberal Republicans in Congress and definitely the most wimpy), are introducing a private bill to grant instant citizenship to Islamic terrorist Ibrahim Parlak.
We've covered Parlak extensively on this site and have engaged in a running debate with his buddy, film critic Roger Ebert--here, here, and even in one of his syndicated movie review columns. Parlak is openly a member of PKK, an Islamic terrorist group that is tied to Al-Qaeda. He admits he trained in terrorist training camps in Lebanon.
It's a no-brainer that Parlak should be outta here. But not in holier-than-thou leftist Carl Levin's mind.
Immigration Judge Elizabeth Hacker, in a long, detailed, well-reasoned opinion, ruled that Parlak was an Islamic terrorist and that he should be deported. The Bureau of Immigration Appeals affirmed Judge Hacker, saying that he is, indeed, an Islamic terrorist, persecutor, and liar--and that he should be deported. The court said Parlak was guilty of these charges: committing or inciting to commit terrorist activities; soliciting funds for terrorist activities; and providing material support for terrorist activities.
But, apparently, someone at Harvard-hates-America Law School forgot to teach Carl Levin to respect the decisions of the courts--even when they do not reflect his far-left, anti-American attitude. Why won't Carl Levin listen to the decision of a panel of three immigration appeals judges?
And why is Levin helping Islamic terrorists become citizens of this country? It isn't the first time. Levin pressured the Clinton administration to stop trying to deport his crony, Islamic Terrorists Imad Hamad, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Bill Clinton and Janet Reno cracked and Hamad is not only now a citizen of this country, but has Levin and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) official Brian Moskowitz (a/k/a "Abu Moskowitz") wrapped around his finger--stopping federal investigations into an Islamic charity laundering money to HAMAS and Iraqi insurgents (Moskowitz) and getting federal USAID funding (our tax $s) for the charity (Levin).
Levin is also trying to get a Canadian ice skater instant citizenship so she can represent the U.S. in the Olympics--also through a private bill.
Two Islamic terrorists and an ice skater. We're glad to see that Carl Levin has his national security priorities straight.
