DHS: Conservatives Are Now The Enemy

Did you see Diane Feinstein on 60 minutes’ Sunday night ? She is itching for a gun ban. She is ‘ready to do it as soon as the time is right’. Americans knew this was coming, why else the lines at the Gun Shows. The rapid fire power grab by the Federal Government in all areas once protected by Constitutional law has thinking Americans happily clinging to their guns and their religion. Why do leftists think we would not react now? For an insight on how the left perceives Conservatism read BHO's Dept.of Homeland Security Report on Right-Wing Extremism.

In their opinion: If you have been storing food and/or weapons, you are an extremist! If you have religion in your life, you are an extremist! Their new tactic is to attack Conservatives and conservative protest, like the Tea Party phenomenon, calling it ‘extremism.’

The tremendous volume of gun and ammo purchases are not being done by extremists, as stated in this report, but by everyday Americans who are afraid of what they see happening to their country. Just check your local Sporting Goods store or a Wal-Mart. The demand for guns and ammo is tremendous. Been to a Gun Show lately? The lines to get in go around the building. Are these Americans extremist? Or are they a People afraid of a runaway federal government that is hell-bent on removing constitutional restraints and guarantees? A government determined on nationalizing the private sector, turning us into a socialist third world nation. We are not the extremists! The extremists are the ones running the federal bureaucracy including BHO and the other socialist-leftist elite.

If you follow what is stated in their report; Is it extremism to be against an even larger government with even greater control? Is it extremism to fight against losing second amendment rights, to fight against the loss of American sovereignty, to fight for freedom of religious expression, to fight for the restoration of the Constitution and the for the achievement of the underlying founding principles of the Declaration of Independence? Is it extremism to fight for the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness? Are Conservatives now the enemy?

Conservatism espouses the ideals the Founding Fathers wanted for this nation, because they were moral, religious, God-fearing men. If that is what it means to be extreme, and I don't think the leftists should be calling the shots on this, if that is what it means, then I will accept their term, but knowing full well, that I am a Patriot who wants freedom and liberty to remain and remain strong, and ingrained in our national soul.

Tea Party Turning Tide?

The blogs are all buzzing with the news of the upcoming Tax Day Tea Party show of resistance.  Patriots from across this nation are seeing this as perhaps their first opportunity to make this new Marxist/socialist administration see that we will NOT be intimidated.  This is still the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and we are free citizens of a sovereign republic.  But, what next?

This is only the beginning of what will be a long and protracted conflict of ideologies.  It is up to all of us as Patriots to not sit silently by.  We MUST make opportunities to be heard, and take each and every opportunity to speak out.  Your voice is the voice of FREEDOM and if you don't use it you will certainly lose it!

I had an opportunity yesterday in the local post office.  I was standing in line with my four year old grandson, who knows exactly how I feel about our teleprompter-in-chief.  The postal clerk at the counter asked the customer what type stamps she wanted, and the "useful idiot" answered that she wanted Obama stamps.  My grandson picked up on that hideous conversation and said "Paw-Paw, she said Obama."  I said "yes she did," at which time he shouted, as an excited four year old is apt to do "YOU DON'T LIKE OBAMA!"  I had a choice to make as everyone in the line immediately turned and looked at me, and I said, and proudly I might add, "Nope, I don't like anything about him."  Some in the crowd looked away, or looked at the ground, BUT several looked at me and smiled.  

When I exited the building one woman met me and asked my name.  I told her, and she thanked me for standing up for my convictions.  This gives me some hope.  There are more of us than we might think.  We have simply been the silent majority far too long.  It is time we STOP worrying about who we might offend, or the sensitivities of the evil and/or idiots that support this new regime.  Speak out!  It is your right!  It is your obligation!

Join in on a Tea Party near you.  I believe you will be amazed at what you witness.  You will also be amazed at how the MSM will ignore what you see UNLESS the numbers are so great it can't ignore them.  That part is up to you and me.  BE THERE!!!
