At a congressional hearing on Muslim radicalization in U.S. prisons, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said that investigators needed to analyze Christian militants in America because they too might try to “bring down the country.”
In an exchange with witness Patrick Dunleavy, the former deputy inspector of the criminal intelligence unit, New York Department of Correctional Services, Rep. Jackson Lee mentioned the case of a man who blew up an abortion clinic and proposed that this perhaps was an attempt to undermine U.S. law that allows a woman to procure an abortion.
Rep. Lee then said, “As we look to be informational, we should include an analysis of how Christian militants or others might bring down the country. We have to look broadly, do we not?”
Dunleavy answered: “I don’t know that Christian militants have foreign country backing or foreign country financing.”
Lee then said, “I don’t think that’s the issue. The issue is whether or not their intent is to undermine the laws of this nation. And I think it is clear that that is the case. So it’s not -- your distinction is not answering the question.”
The hearing on Muslim radicalization in U.S. prisons was held on Wednesday by the House Homeland Security Committee, which is chaired by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.).
Although Jackson-Lee is the only one stupid enough to verbalize it, I think her expressed opinion likely represents the mainstream of Democrat thought.
They live in a fantasy world.
she meant “white” Christian militants
I dont think Shelia Jackshit-Lee mean to be bringing the po-lice down on the RevRund Jeremiah Wright
What is wrong with Houston???
Hey SJL, how about an analysis of how Black militants would do it...oh wait, we already have a pretty good idea.
Aren’t you ‘really’ asking how Christians, Jews and everyone else, including Black Christians will bring down your Black militant government and how you can prevent that from happening???
Does anyone dare tell this moron that Christian militants helped to create this country ?
Someone on that committee should have turned to her and said “Do you have a particular dislike of Christians Ms Lee?”
You know, I was just thinking of that today... how terrified I am when on an aircraft when I see all those people wearing crosses around their neck...necks of all races.
I don’t pay much attention to those people who wear burkas (and no, I don’t care how it’s spelled), or the guy in front of me who speaks only Arabic (and looks like Bin Ladin..I’m just sayin’). It’s merely coincidence that he is allowed through the line but that I am STRIP SEARCHED, despite having a US passport, a Driver’s License (a current one from Utah and an expired one from Ohio) AND a copy of my birth certificate when I travel. And I’m second generation American, btw.
No, I don’t wonder about separate treatment a bit. /s
Brilliant reply.
One case, one person, decades ago?
Sheila is from the high IQ wing of the Democrat Party.
What? ‘Christian Militants’???? Like Pilgrims or Colonists?
Will they bring down the ‘government’?... You mean like an oppressive, remote and indifferent 'aristocracy'????
Then what? Will these ‘Christian Militants’ replace it with a ‘Constitutional’ republic?????
I don't understand. We DID that already!!!
I’d love to see them do a statistical study to support that notion.
Yep, we must be prepared! Those Amish are going to strike any day now. I’ve heard rumors that their wagons are hauling loads of munitions through the Pennsylvania countryside at this very moment.
If protecting the life of the unborn,securing the traditional family, feeding the hungry along with aiding the sick makes me a Christian militant,then I am quite proud of the label!!!
However, Congresswomen Jackson, I do reserve the RIGHT to protect myself from ever increasing sharia law(originating FROM the federal government), protecting myself from groups labeling MY religious teachings hate speech and preaching to me regarding wealth distribution, that salvation is a collective action not an individual one by any force necessary!!
Not long ago, Americans loved Mom and Apple pie. A mostly Christian nation, we spoke English and supported trational cultural beliefs. One of our fears was that dangerous radicals (communists, mostly) would try to change our system and damage the world we had built.
Today, we live under a tyranny. A very secular society, in many places speaking Spanish is pretty much a requirement. Abortion, homosexuality, diversity, and worship of Earth as a mother goddess are central facets of many peoples lives. One of our fears was that dangerous radicals (Christians, mostly) will try to change our system and damage the world we have built.
Do you have a couple hours to list all that’s wrong with houston?
And the people who re-elected her are even more stupid.
Evidently, the triple crown weave has restricted all blood flow to her little pea brain.
Sheila Jackson-Lee is batshit crazy.
Her mother should have had an abortion.
