If I’m not on some list somewhere, (beyond all of my ping lists here), due to many of my “radical views”, I just haven’t been vocal enough.

The real question is, how extreme can an extremist be to be a truly extreme extremist?

The Fight against “Extremism”

Who are they? They’re all around you. They might be eating dinner in the same restaurant as you, buying the same brand of ketchup and even watching the same TV shows you do. But there’s a terrible difference. They are that hideous brand of Enemy of the State known as “The Extremist”.

After 8 years of wailing and doomsaying, of dragging out the corpse of Orwell and parading him around to claim that the Bush Administration’s War on Terror was nothing short of a brutal tyranny that violated the law and the Constitution— the Obama Administration is rolling back the clock eight years and tossing out any pesky civil rights issues in order to fight the real enemy, “extremists”.

Naturally “former veterans” top the list as potential extremists, probably because like most “extremists” they’re highly likely to vote for Republicans. And by now anyone who lived through 8 years of the Clinton Administration knows that when the left talks about “extremists”, they mean people who would never for for them or support their agenda.

The fundamental difference between the Bush Administration and Republicans in general is that when they talk about “dangerous extremists”, they mean foreign terrorists. When the Obama Administration and left wing Democrats talk about “dangerous extremists”, they usually mean people who think taxes are too high. If there’s a better bellwether of the difference between national defense and national tyranny.

The Bush Administration viewed people who wanted to massacre Americans as the major extremist threat. The Obama Administration views people who question their tax and spend policies as the major extremist threat.

That made the noxious hypocrisy in which Democrats, the press and assorted liberals spent the last 8 years screaming that we’re living in a tyrannical state with no civil liberties— all the more foul.

Under the Clinton Administration, we saw the military used against American citizens in violation of the Posse Comitatus act. We saw talk show hosts in the political opposition accused of responsibility for terrorist attacks. We saw a man dragged through the mud and tried in the press for a bombing he was never responsible for, while the foreign terrorists responsible for the original bombing of the World Trade Center got a virtual free pass... leading in to 9/11. We saw border police armed with machine guns storming the home of an immigrant’s private residence, kidnapping a young boy at gunpoint and deporting to a brutal totalitarian regime.

We also saw the use of roving wiretaps, secret evidence and a wide variety of tools given to the Federal government, that Janet Reno and Eric Holder repeatedly abused. And now those same folks are back in the driver’s seat and working hard on their enemies lists.

And naturally the civil liberties people have nothing to say on the subject. Because the targets are “extremists”, by which we naturally mean people who don’t read the New York Times or listen to NPR or get their news from DailyKos or Katie Couric.

The same people who found Bush’s tactics in the name of national defense to be tyrannical, are all for Obama’s war against his political opposition— whether it’s organizing smear campaigns out of the White House targeting his remaining media critics or working to criminalize his grass roots opposition.

As the Obama Administration works to define the War on Terror down from fighting overseas terrorist groups to fighting generic extremists, who will naturally turn out to be members of his own political opposition, we can see how national defense becomes sacrificed to national tyranny in the name of appeasement and outright treason.

And now suddenly the same brave defenders of the Constitution for the last 8 years, nod along and say that, yes maybe the Constitution needs some updating. And perhaps it’s time for an age limit for Supreme Court justices. And naturally the government needs to monitor and take action against “extremist” groups.

After all if thinking for yourself, instead of letting the New York Times think for you isn’t a crime— maybe it should be.

Simple test:

1.) Do you believe in self-reliance?
2.) Do you believe you know better for yourself than a politician in another time-zone?
3.) Do you believe that the government works for you?
4.) Do you believe that you have: “The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?”
5.) Do you use reason and logic to help understand truth?
6.) Are you willing to give up the government pensions, aid, SSI, Welfare or any other crutch of slavery?

If you answer NO to any of the above, pick up your coffee and your paper and dream about how it used to be. Because unless you are willing to do everything you will gain nothing.

Because I feel a rant coming...
If any citizen depends on the government to live... STOP. Understand what they have done to you. Don’t rely on anything other than yourself, family, and God. If you can’t walk away from what the government gives you, you are a slave to the very system many proclaim to be unhappy with. I know what I’m saying will strike a nerve but understand what I’m saying before you simply respond, I’ll hear about how some have to have x or have to have y to live, or you must take SSI, pensions or other. I’m not saying stop taking the money that is owed, I say stop DEPENDING on it. If you are 50 or 90 every one of us can DO, there are no exceptions today, unless you are a vegetable, with a tube down your throat you have abilities, and have the most sacred gift any of us have, life. Live it.

Give me Liberty or give me Death! But they will not take my country without blood; Freedom is worth the costs many of us have paid, and are willing to pay. Regardless of the oppressor foreign or domestic we have a right to protect the traditions and foundation of our country.

Protest until you have no voice left, protest until you can’t walk any further, and protest until we have no choice. Push them on every front, give not one inch, and fight until we have nothing left to give, for if we don’t we’ll not have anything we want to live for.

My dad was military and my kids are career military. I flunked my physical and was not accepted but I guess I am guilty by association. This card carrying member of the NRA is proud to be called a “right-wing extremist” on illegal immigration and national defense and a fiscal conservative.

Lives, Fortunes, Honor

Of those 56 who signed the Declaration of Independence, nine died of wounds or hardships during the war. Five were captured and imprisoned, in each case with brutal treatment. Several lost wives, sons or entire families. One lost his 13 children. Two wives were brutally treated. All were at one time or another the victims of manhunts and driven from their homes. Twelve signers had their homes completely burned. Seventeen lost everything they owned. Yet not one defected or went back on his pledged word. Their honor, and the nation they sacrificed so much to create is still intact.

And, finally, there is the New Jersey signer, Abraham Clark.

He gave two sons to the officer corps in the Revolutionary Army. They were captured and sent to that infamous British prison hulk afloat in New York Harbor known as the hell ship Jersey, where 11,000 American captives were to die. The younger Clarks were treated with a special brutality because of their father. One was put in solitary and given no food. With the end almost in sight, with the war almost won, no one could have blamed Abraham Clark for acceding to the British request when they offered him his sons’ lives if he would recant and come out for the King and Parliament. The utter despair in this man’s heart, the anguish in his very soul, must reach out to each one of us down through 200 years with his answer: “No.”

The 56 signers of the Declaration Of Independence proved by their every deed that they made no idle boast when they composed the most magnificent curtain line in history. “And for the support of this Declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”

Welcome to the club, we’re at least 25 million strong (2nd only to AARP, which I rejected years ago due to its liberal streak)! AND don’t forget, “Eagle” is Holder’s code word for “ terrorist “!
