The new president has been busy these last few weeks.
First, Obama informed the world, that he does not consider the United States a Christian nation.
He doesn’t consider it a Jewish or Muslim nation either; he called us “secular.”
Now, according to the U.S. Government’s April 7, 2009, Dept. of Homeland Security assessment, there is a nine-page report full of warnings about American citizens just like me.
On Fox News.com, April 16, Oliver North expounded on the essence of this recently released report.
He said, “I am a Christian and meet regularly with other Christians to study God’s word. My faith convinces me the prophesies in the Holy Bible are true.”
I believe in the sanctity of human life, oppose abortion and want to preserve marriage as the union of a man and a woman. I am a veteran with skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. I own several firearms, frequently shoot them, buy ammunition and consider efforts to infringe on my Second Amendment rights to be wrong and unconstitutional. I fervently support the sovereignty of the United States, am deeply concerned about our economy, increasingly higher taxes, illegal immigration, soaring unemployment and actions by our government that will bury my children beneath a mountain of debt. Apparently, all this makes me a ‘right-wing extremist.’”
According to the Department of Homeland Security, these traits should alert law enforcement officials that “right-wing extremists like me,” who have strongly held beliefs on everything from Christian faith to rising unemployment, U.S. sovereignty and the Second Amendment, are intent on exploiting Americans
We have become the villains, alongside references to neo-Nazis, racists, militias, white-supremacists and other “hate groups.”
The report is rife with bias against conservative thought, writing and communications, and also includes a warning that right-wing extremism “may include groups or individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
This should alarm every American, as a frightening acknowledgement that political speech is being monitored in America.
According to our forefathers, it is also wrong. In its “key findings” the DHS manuscript boldly charges that “right-wing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues” and warns that “the possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities, could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.”
According to this DHS assessment,” the most dangerous threat we face here at home isn’t from radical imams preaching violence in U.S. mosques and madrassas, Islamists recruiting in our prisons, Somali terrorists enticing young immigrants to become suicide bombers or Hamas, Hezbollah or Al Qaeda operatives plotting mass murder. No, according to DHS, the real threat comes from what our government labels “right-wing extremist ideology.
The DHS makes the stunning charge that, “lone wolves and small terrorist cells embracing violent right-wing extremist ideology are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States.”
Christian must stand their ground
In the words of our Christian forefathers from the Declaration of Independence:
“Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.”
