Department of Homeland Security has now sent out a notice to all police authorities to look out for extreme right-wing groups causing violence in the US. They have included people who oppose abortion, illegal immigration, and don't like the current president imposing more governmental control. It has categorized people with Christian view who "buy guns" and "store food". They have also gone as far as including recent war veterans as a list of possible dangerous people.
Honestly, all those issues are not right or left issues, just common sense. But they have become politicized with a specific party. (I honestly can't stand the Republican Party right now.) Shouldn't we just be on the lookout for anyone who causes these atrocious acts?
Besides the war vet and owning a gun... I guess I kind of fall in that category. Does that mean if I express my opinion, I am a threat to Homeland Security?
I wonder what damage I would do to the security of this nation... hmmm.
Write my opinion on this blog
Make a film that speaks how I feel
Have a conversation about raising taxes
Watch Fox News (especially Red Eye, my new favorite show)
Put a flag up on my yard
Food storage (Oooo)
Pretty dangerous. I hate even the thought that my opinion could eventually get me into trouble. I understand that there are loonies in this world, but that would include right or left (ie, Peta), but for the government to single out these groups, in my opinion is fairly scary.
In fact, I would venture to say that the ones that are extremists are the ones in the White House right now. We are slowly (yet quickly) taking the steps that we were warned against in electing this clown and his bunch. Socialism is now on the way.
Funny how during the election talking about socialism was laughed at and "silly". Now, in a new poll, only 56 percent of Americans would choose capitalism over socialism. (What about the other 44 percent). Socialism doesn't seem that bad.
I think we have become numb to the topics and favor flash over substance. One-liners over real reading and studying of the topics.
It has always been my theory that this is the reason people of the left rule Hollywood and the television media and conservatives rule talk radio. When you spend 3 hrs a day talking about things, you can actually get to the truth of issues, with very little flash.
If you "sing and dance" the issues, it doesn't matter if it is right or wrong, just simply how it "feels" at the time you watched it. That is why most people who voted for Obama didn't exactly know "what" they were voting for, they just wanted a change. Yet when Palin came on the scene, no one fought against her principals, they voted against how she looks, or how she came across. That's it!
This is why liberals can't make it in talk radio. They have tried and failed.
Enough ranting, thank you for letting me indulge myself in my opinion. After all, it is my blog, dang it.
