In keeping with the May Day movement, it seems fitting to point out exactly who some of the mobilizing forces have been behind the amnesty at any cost movement.
One of the main groups backing the movement is A.N.S.W.E.R.. This is a group that was founded on September 14th, 2001 in direct reaction to the September 11th attacks. A group whose creation and name (Act now to stop war & end racism) preemptively struck at any American response to terrorism before a response had even been formulated or announced. Consider that for a minute.
On the 14th, we didn't even know if the number of dead was 4,000 or 14,000. The buildings were still burning and giving off enough heat and smoke for the environment around the financial district to be noxious. New Yorkers and New Jerseyans were wandering the streets posting pictures of loved ones they hadn't yet found. And yet, this group of people jumped the gun and immediately responded to the heartwrenching wailing and weeping of the numberless who waited in anxious and pained desperation for any news of loved ones, by demanding that we were ultimately responsible for this attack because our "international racism". Remind me if I get this wrong, but when some outspoken religious leaders said the same thing they were publicly excoriated and ostracized from any reasonable discourse about courses of action against the perpetrators.
So here we have, ANSWER, whose answer was to blame America.
It's not surprising to find that the leading supporters of this group are communist and socialist affiliates who have worked to fight against democracy in other countries. Nor is it surprising that they are supporting amnesty. This is a group that takes any position that is unhealthy for democracy because ultimately, the goal in their minds, is a to create a communal style world where people are either left to flounder in the insecurity of chaos or governed by a small body of extremely powerful paternalistic Marxists.
It is also not surprising that among its supporters is found the name of one Kent State University professor. This group is American liberalism at its most natural extreme: Marxist nihilism.
