Clubbing [Navy] SEALs
The Washington Times ^ | December 9, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 12/08/2009 9:32:42 PM PST by Abakumov

We are witnessing a tectonic shift in the way terrorists are being fought, moving from a military model to a law enforcement one. The war on terrorism has been replaced by the "struggle against violent extremism." Under new guidelines instituted by the Obama administration, terror incidents are referred to as "man-caused disasters." Counterinsurgencies are "contingency operations." Al Qaeda leaders have been granted the full constitutional rights of American citizens. The whole tenor of the Obama administration is to downplay the seriousness of the very serious business of war.

Back in the day … he would have received more than a fat lip … he would be dead.

The WAPA article failed to mentionone thing. In redefining terrorism as a crime, the Obama Junta has overlooked the fact that they also have made available to every American citizen the right of self defence against this crime.

And many Americans will freely exercise it.Tangos won't be arrested , they will be shot on sight by citizens apprehending them in the act of committing their so called crimes. The Obama Junta overlooked this fact.

Witness the guns and ammo still flying off the shelves of America's gun shops.America is arming itself for good reason.

So our most elite military unit members face a choice of killing their quarry or facing the possibility of courts martial for doing their jobs. Oh, what the hell, we face the same choice!

A “law enforcement” management solution to the War on Terror. Just what John Effin’ Kerry wanted back in 2004.

The ‘viewpoint” of Obama and his administration is so far from reality and the viewpoint of rational citizens that the two viewpoints cannot be reconciled. We must face the fact that we have elected a bunch of crazies who live in a fantasy world of infinite rights for everybody (except people who believe like Freepers); a world where America (that’s yours and my America) is evil. We must somehow persevere and survive this insanity. It will be difficult to eradicate as people like this want to be in power like the rest of us want to continue breathing. Power is life to them. If they sense it slipping away they will engineer ways to hang onto it. We must be ready to defend our rights with every tool at our disposal. No RINO’s need apply. RINO’s are these same crazies dressed in our colors.
