AG Gonzales, Thank You For Your Service
Today was the last day in office for Alberto Gonzales. And, while we had our complaints with him over the handling of the illegals who broke into our country, we had no complaint with the firings which lead to his departure. Firing US Attorneys is a power vested in the executive branch and the President chose to exercise that power, no crime, no scandal, no reason for the President or the AG to explain why. It shouldn't have become the political quagmire the Democrats MoveOnocrats made it out to be.
I don't want to get into a protracted summary of Gonzales' career as AG, it had good points and bad, as all careers do. But, there is one aspect for which he deserves the unending praise of all the American people; on his watch we were not attacked again. It is no small thing that the terrorists have failed to get us again. And Alberto Gonzales was a big part of the reason why we have been so safe.
Were Mr. Gonzales to never do a good thing with the rest of his life he has done himself proud already. And for that contribution alone he deserves our thanks, and our respect.
Now we can only hope that the next guy does as well. And we pray that the obstructionists in Congress allow him to begin sooner rather than later, for we need to maintain the vigil, the enemy will not rest while we delay.
