The
Basics Of Anti-Terrorism

The
“new” terror warnings this week, added to the frustration over government
officials refusing to allow airline pilots to be armed, have made many
Americans more than a little testy.
Doubt by any other name is still doubt, and doubt is running rampant in
this country. More citizens seem to be
coming to their senses when faced with the idea that government is all they
need to protect them from impending disaster because, after all, it is the
government that is telling them there will be disaster. It is just too far off in left field to hear
that disaster WILL strike, but that we are to conduct business as usual and get
on with our normal lives – much too illogical!
Even the most brainwashed among us have the ability to sniff out the
stench in that one and sprout a seed or two of doubt! Especially since this all comes in the same week that we learn so
much about what so many knew so far in advance of the last disaster!
The
most telling of all the “breaking news” this past week came in learning that
until just weeks before the disaster of 911, airline pilots had the legal right
to be armed. Suddenly that rule was
rescinded, and then disaster struck.
The mainstream media has not given this irony enough coverage, folks,
not nearly enough! Instead, it has
chosen to give credence to the statements of all those poorly qualified
individuals who have nixed the idea that pilots should now be allowed to defend
their planes. The statements are silly
at best and criminal in the face of our present situation. Airlines themselves who expect the public to
bail them out of their failing businesses, while maintaining their own “rules”
against handguns on airplanes, should not HAVE businesses! The CEOs of such abominations should quit
and go to work in communist and third world nations as little dictators,
because that is exactly where they belong!
Anti-gun
activists and legislators should feel the ground moving beneath their feet
until such time as America decides to step up to the plate and defend her basic
rule of law once again. They have never
had a legal foot to stand on, and continuing to make them think they do is
ludicrous! In order for them to be
proven right, we would have to witness an army of guns marching across the
cities and towns of America indiscriminately shooting innocent citizens –
without any humans pulling the triggers! I know Mickey Mouse had trouble
controlling the mop and bucket in Fantasia, but everyone knew THAT was pure
fantasy. Why are we giving credence to
these ridiculous, whining anti-Americans?
Not
nearly enough hoop-la was made about the border incident involving a Mexican
incursion of their officials shooting at ours either. They are getting very brave my friends, or very stupid. Does anyone still “remember” the Alamo? I would think not when we continue to see
the lengths we go to ignore the obvious border bungles and actually encourage
the illegal immigration of all nationalities across that leaky, imaginary line
separating us from our southern neighbors.
We know it also happens to the north, as well as on all coastal
approaches. This is where the bulk of
our troops should be, for that is their purpose, is it not? Far too much of our American military has
been turned into a force of foreign aid workers under the command of global
elitists. Now, they would have us at
their mercy in World Courts. Speaking
of “shaky ground” – I am sure if we look closely enough, we can see such a
phenomenon happening this Memorial Day in veterans’ graveyards all across
America. They must surely be rolling
over in their graves!
Getting back to that “doubt” thing – perhaps the elected representatives should be doubting that this November will see many of them still in power, as the electorate wakes up to our own doubts about the qualifications of those chosen to represent. We can only hope. As they continue to run for cover in their prepared bunkers while we common folk go about our normal lives, maybe they will miss the signs of the times after such a week of warnings. From their “periscope” views and their limited ability to “take the pulse” of the nation via “doubtful” polls, perhaps they will discover that America is, after all, still America. Our spirit is awakening and wiping the cobwebs from our senses at long last. Those who are worthy of being called “American” know our culture, our strengths, our weaknesses, and our law. We have every right to reject anything and anyone that stands in the way of preserving the America we inherited. We have every right to doubt the motives of any politician or appointed “official” who would take part in controlling our ability to defend ourselves or insist that we owe any allegiance to politically correct actions or speech.
We
are in danger. The elites and the media
have said so. We are NOT a foolish
people who need to be controlled by unfathomably ridiculous “progressive”
ideology. Our Forefathers have said so. It is as simple as that, don’t you
think? This is America. Let’s start reminding everyone what America
stands for and what she will no longer stand for before it is too late and we
are flattened. The basics of
anti-terrorism are built in to our character, our culture and our history.
