What makes someone a terrorist? Should people who express dissenting opinions, who act in a ‘confrontational’ manner automatically ‘domestic terrorists’? The White House seems to think so.
Lisa Monaco stated as much on PBS News Hour. She’s Assistant to the President for Homeland Security. She indicated one of the warning signs of ‘domestic terrorism’ that Americans could be missing is kids who become more confrontational. Does that sound right? Almost all teens go through a confrontational phase, so does that mean we should brand them or anyone else who appears ‘confrontational’ a terrorist? Sounds crazy, right?
Harry Reid seems to consider the peaceful protesters at the Bundy Ranch to be domestic terrorists just because they resist the Bureau of Land Management’s heavy-handed bullying and their illegal vandalism and treatment of livestock stolen from Bundy.
Senator Reid and other Democrats believe they can coerce and intimidate Americans, threatening violence and then claim anyone who doesn’t support their skewed view of the world, anyone who stands up and dares to argue is a ‘domestic terrorist’.
Don’t they know that they work FOR us, lately they seem to forget who pays them
What is happening to the United States of America is a test. A test of our courage of conviction. Deep within each of us we must make a conscious effort to decide to fight or remain still. We must value our traditions or completely dismiss them and form a new world order. God is watching us in our most darkest hour as we face evil from within and outside our border. Do we stay silent when judgement comes or do we charge to glory with the permission of our holy father? The breath inside of us is sensing danger, yet we still sit waiting for the right call, when the call has been made and we mute the message. Our livelihood depends on our conviction and our willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. The good as most remember of Sunday picnics after church with our family and friends, basking in the peace and solace of each other’s care. The good as some remember of the victory of our heroes enabling us to use their sacrifice as a compass for our right to freedom and liberty. The good as few remember of the liberation of an oppressed world in war. The good as none remember of an established republic the likes this world has never seen. Do we remember for our survival or do we forget for our sanity, neither will stop the repeated attempts of the evil of this world. It is with great sacrifice and vigilance we must never forget, yet we revise our lessons and tribulations for a softer and more accepted past. Our souls yearn for a glimpse at the courage many have given to enable our vanities of today, but who among us wouldn’t give a moment of greatness for a lifetime of mediocrity. I challenge your spirit, your patriotism in the battle of good and evil, will you fight today for a more free tomorrow or will you resign your indignation to your vanity. The vanity of a people who put self above country or self above democracy. The battle is coming whether you are willing for it or not, waiting for us to delve within our souls to touch the hand of God who has blessed this country so. Fear not my brethren we will fight a good fight and when our children’s children remember the good, they will remember with veracity and abundance the gifts we were so willing to bestow upon them through our sacrifice and courage.
Another sick moron
