Calling All Terrorists
May 2, 2009
Our country is truly and profoundly in danger, as our President and
Homeland Securitry Secretary Janet Napolitano have reminded us. As you
may know by now, we are surrounded by a sea of domestic terrorists, just
waiting to do us in or blow things up. Don’t you dare go out to dinner
alone if you’re an NRA member, you might get murdered. Don’t even think
about having coffee with anyone who is a Vet or pro-life, your throat
will get slit. Your co-worker who wants fiscal responsibility from
government...well, watch your back!
Granted, even the recent Homeland Security report identifying so many
patriots across our land as potential terrorists at least had the
honesty – albeit of the kindergarten level – to say they had no
statistics, no facts, no proof of that...they were just operating on
theories and speculation.
Isn’t that precious! If I remember life-lessons taught me by my Mom and
most of my teachers correctly, you aren’t supposed to yell "FIRE” in a
crowded theater...especially if there ain’t one!
It’s fascinating, I think, that we are now forbidden from talking about
our "war with Islamic fundamentalists,” "radical Islam” or "terrorists.”
Now we are fighting the ever so sensitive and meaningless, "Overseas
Contingency Operation.” We have heard speech after speech from the Obama
Administration about how we are not to be insensitive and inflammatory
by using terms like "terrorist.” For that matter, President Obama
declared to the Muslim world at the G20 Conference that we would never
attack Islam. Apparently he had called the Psychic Hotline, which,
incidentally, is no longer in operation.
The fascinating part in all this is that with all the coercion,
manipulation and insistence that we not use the term "terrorism,”
that is precisely how the Homeland Security report identifies the
made up homegrown dangers. We are "domestic terrorists.”
No need to be sensitive there! For that matter, the report is a based in
supposition, so why be sensitive? Only to fundamentalist Muslims
worldwide are we to be ever so sensitive, even as they scheme to advance
Sharia across the globe. Of course, they do so in-between our Pastors,
returning Vets, pro-lifers, those who advocate for sovereignty and
state’s rights, Second Amendment supporters, Christians and TEA Party
attendees, blowing up buildings, attacking children, burning down
clinics and planning assassinations!
It would seem that a new malady is emerging within our society and there
are so many now it is becoming hard to keep track. Let me see...Islamophobia,
Homophobia, racism...now, drum roll please...terroristaphobia.
Honestly,
it’s all too much for me, so much so that I have concluded there isn’t
enough medication for me to handle it all. Back to the things of
"domestic terrorists.” Maybe I’ll go to a pro-Constitution rally. |
