The thing that I've been turning over: what kind of people are these that
1. Decide to use a gun running scheme gone bad as an opportunity to try and eliminate the 2nd amendment
2. Make a conscious decision to use a planned terrorist attack as an opportunity to squelch the 1st amendment rights of people in the U.S.
3. Use a bad economy as a method to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to political contributors
If I didn't know better, I'd term these people and their enablers as domestic enemies.
Get yourself a copy of David Horowitz's "Unholy Alliance"
Then you will see what they are and what they want to do to America.
