Pissed off Americans by Gråulf

A while ago I heard that police departments around the country had lists of things to help them identify potentially dangerous people. One of the things they look for are people with NRA stickers, and/or American flags on their cars. The stories seemed too silly to be true. Then, on April 7, 2009 the Department of Homeland Security declassified a report on the “Top Threats” to American security titled, “Rightwing Extremism”. Imagine my surprise at learning that I am a Right Wing Extremist because I own guns, and I am a lifetime member of the NRA; I wear an American flag in my lapel, and fly an American flag on national holidays; I don’t believe that Islam is a “Religion of Peace”; I believe illegal immigration should be stopped, and those who are here illegally should be sent back to wherever they came from; I favor the death penalty for brutal killers; and I think that Nancy Pelosi is dumber than a box of rocks.

What really angered a lot of people is that the Security Report identified returning American soldiers as being especially dangerous, because they have been trained to violence, and some of them are unstable individuals. This evaluation is based solely on a study of returning soldiers that conclude they are more violent, and more prone to violence and suicide than the general population. The study is flawed and fraudulent, since it measures returning soldiers against the general population. When returning soldiers are measured against people of the same age group there is no difference in the rate of violent behavior.

Many of those who voted for Obama should have paid attention when he made disparaging remarks about “rednecks” who cling to their bibles and their guns when times are hard. He is coming after them now, and according to recent statements made by Pelosi, he is soon coming after their guns.

Democrats, and the major news services, discount the April 15th “Tea Party” demonstrations as racist. What they ignore is that never before have there been major demonstrations against a president during his first 100 days in office. You don’t have to be racist to resent a president who spends your tax money like a drunken sailor on shore leave; you are not a radical for not appreciating being lied to about the pork in the stimulus bill and the budget; you are not an extremist for resenting Obama’s “America Stinks” tour of Europe; and you are not a radical for being offended at the president of the USA almost kissing the Saudi kings brown ass. You are just a pissed off American. Wait till you see the 4th of July demonstrations.
