But we mustn’t offend them — that would draw a tut-tut from CAIR.

"...Leaving this country and going to different parts of the world and then coming back..."

RED FLAG.

Passports. Get em while you can. Even if you have never even left your own state and never entertained the idea of travelling overseas.

It's coming. They are going to start yanking passports and invalidating them and preventing Americans from leaving the country.

How else are they going to fence in the workers and the providers and the John Galts of America, in order to pay for the whole gravy train of socialism for the great mass of freeloaders who will depending on them and that tax base for the whole rotten system to function.

The AG, the DOJ, and the New Black Panther Party are engaged
in a conspiracy under color of law to circumvent law using Obama-institutionalized racism.

Yeah, I was kinda thinking that, but I don’t want to sound too alarmist.

It’s not the “Galts” they should worry about.
See tagline.

Yes and it seems to be coming from Washington DC.

Let's see, the further off track our government insists on going, the more of our freedoms we lose, the more some of us are going to consider the Cartridge Box as our last option to restore our Country?

Duh... The hubris of these people continues to amaze me.

“that he is increasingly concerned about Americans becoming radicalized and turning to terrorism.”

What’s scary about Holder is that you don’t know right away if he’s talking about Jihadi’s training in Yemen or home schooling. In his mind, they’re practically the same thing.

They are not the same thing in his mind.

I’m sure he sees homeschoolers as a bigger threat to his, and other statists’, power than the jihadis.

I don’t really want to be alarmist either. But this has been in the back of my mind since the election. I just haven’t been able to shake it. I guess I’ve been around too long and seen too many things that couldn’t happen, happen.

Sounds like a perfect description of Obama's recent trip to Cairo, doesn't it...

With history as my witness,

EVERY time that leftists gained the power to do so,

they use the power of the state to exterminate their political and ideological opponents.

There is nothing “alarmist” about studying a distinct pattern in history.

Bull Sh-t...

The radicalization that concerns him is not of the “islamic” variety. He is concerned about the radicalization of this nations “conservative” population.

...And truthfully, he should be. Although not for the reasons he will portray to the masses. The actions of these marxist revolutionaries can do nothing but radicalize the right. At some point even the laziest and most dense of keyboard warriors among us will be radicalized to the point of taking direct action. Momentum is building... Its inevitable...

Whats also inevitable? These marxists WILL do what marxists everywhere do. They WILL “crack down” on people like us. This statement and previous statements are the beginning phases of the justification. They will scare the population into accepting what would normally not be accepted.

What is NOT written in stone? What form our “revolution” will take...

How we direct our energy after radicalization? How do we “kill” the beast that is the fedgov and the idiots who vote marxists into office?

There are a few “solutions” to this but the one I think we will all ultimately agree to be the most palatable is to starve the beast to death. We MUST direct ALL our efforts at gaining control of states that have a population already inclined to be free of marxist tyranny. From there we need to begin the process of removing ourselves from the influence of the marxists in the fegov and the people who put them there. When we are done, the “beast” WILL lash out at some point... If we can defend against it we WILL see the day that their world crumbles and decays.

The side that moves the quickest will win this. Everyone on our side better be working HARD to prime the populations of specific states for what needs to be done. There is very little chance of recovering from a failure to beat the marxists in the fed gov to the punch on this.

Impossible. Obama is the Archangel of the Age of Aquarius, the living breathing demigod of harmony and understanding bringing all of Gaea's children into the promised land of cap-and-trade, trillion dollar wealth redistribution schemes, and "free for all" health care.

Definitely wise to look at that pattern and heed the warnings.
Who says it CAN’T HAPPEN HERE?
You’re a fool if you think that....

If he was talking in code, putting words out there to start a simmering knowledge that 'HOMEGROWN' terrorism on the march is really 'folks like you and me who have had it UP TO HERE', then, yeah. I would say, it has begun.

I watched a video yesterday that someone had posted as a thread title-one of those Rev Manning UTUBE talks (he is the black preacher who just amazes me with his vitriol and anger against uhbama).

My gosh-he talked about the revolution that is coming by the white folk and he was hot!

I will try to find it and post a link here-it was WORTH THE WATCH!

Eric, have you forgotten about the radical obama anti-terrorist agenda of neutralizing the Patriot Act and FISA, pelosi’s CIA rants, reducing border security, illegals moving about freely stealing our jobs and services, etc.?

I have a “benchmark lib” as an inlaw (ya just can’t pick ‘em, eh?)

Anyway, “that can’t happen here” is pretty much all I hear when I point out the historical inevitability of totalitarianism as the result of her ideology.

I’m going to agree with her next time.
“It can’t happen here” because the founders had the foresight (and divine guidance) to ensure an armed populace. Why do you think the left hates individual gun ownership so much? It’s historically obvious.
