Politics and Government in America

Okay, I’m sure that most of you remember last year when I told you about Joy Behar from “The View” calling Rush Limbaugh a terrorist. For those of you who don’t, please take the time to read the archives.  Well it has happened again, only this time it wasn’t Joy Behar, it was the speaker of the California state legislature. And it wasn’t Rush Limbaugh, it was any conservative that dares to speak out against Democrat plans.

In the Los Angeles Times on Saturday, Karen Bass was quoted as saying, “Well, the Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now some are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat. You vote for revenue and your career is over. I don’t know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it’s about free speech but it’s extremely unfair.” That’s right folks, according to Democrats, you are a terrorist if you let your elected representatives know where you stand on an issue.  And you are particularly dangerous if you disagree with liberals.

Now remember, these are the same people who refuse to label Osama ibn-Laden and his followers as terrorists. They want to give people who are trying to destroy our country the same protections as those who are citizens of it. More importantly, they claim to be the ones who are open minded and love tolerance and bipartisanship. Yet, clearly such tolerance does not extend to ideas. More importantly, it seems clear that to Democrats, the most dangerous foe our country has to face is it’s freedom loving citizens.

So to review, if you are a fanatic who wants to tear down the freedoms and ideas that our country is built on, then people must try and understand you and reach out to you. However, if you believe in freedom and small government; if you stand for lower taxes and the empowerment of the individual, then you are a terrorist and should be silenced and sent to prison.  Perhaps that is why Democrats don’t want Obama to close Club Gitmo. They are hoping to start shipping conservatives to it.
