Fire Janet Napolitano: Conservatives Not Terrorists

Excerpt from below:
 


You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet.

     What purpose can be served by a document that classifies mainstream Americans as "extremists" who pose a clear and present danger to our nation's security?

     Fairchok again:

"It is a manipulative information tool intended to paint the loyal opposition as reactionary kooks who are prone to violence and a danger to the country. ... This is part of a more widespread ongoing information campaign to plant and reinforce critical themes into the American official, and broader public psyche, a continuation of the 'clinging to guns and religion' message so frequently found in the rhetoric of President Obama and his acolytes."

     And Fairchok concludes by issuing a very somber warning.

"And we ain't seen nothin' yet."

     But what is even more disturbing is that DHS NEVER intended the public to see this so-called security assessment. It was a secret.

     Reagan again:

"Obviously recognizing that public knowledge of the nonsense alleged in this document is very undesirable, the weirdoes who prepared it did not want you to see it. ... They warn: 'No portion of the LES (Law Enforcement Sensitive) information should be released to the media, the general public, or over non-secure Internet servers.'"

     Judge Napolitano again:

"The document itself cautions the reader that the document is 'not to be released to the public, the media, or other personnel who do not have a valid need-to-know without prior approval' of the DHS. The document refers to itself as one of a series of intelligence assessments intended to 'deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks against the United States.'"

     But there's even more.

     Are you ready for this?

     The portion of this so-called security assessment that was leaked is only a SUMMARY.

     The bulk of it remains CLASSIFIED. We have no idea what's in it.

     Judge Napolitano continues:

"The summary (unclassified) document is terrifying. One can only imagine what is contained in the classified version. This document runs directly counter to numerous U.S. Supreme decisions prohibiting the government from engaging in any activities that could serve to chill the exercise of expressive liberties. Liberties are chilled, in constitutional parlance, when people are afraid to express themselves for fear of government omnipresence, monitoring, or reprisals. The document also informs the reader that Big Brother is watching both public and private behavior."

     But whatever else is in there... it cannot be pretty.

     Judge Napolitano yet again:

"My guess is that the sentiments revealed in the report I read are the tip of an iceberg that the DHS would prefer to keep submerged until it needs to reveal it. This iceberg is the heavy-hand of government; a government with large and awful eyes, in whose heart there is no love for freedom, and on whose face there is no smile."

    DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano MUST BE FIRED!

     And just so it's perfectly clear, we aren't talking about her resigning (either gracefully or in disgrace). And it's way too late for backhanded apologies, like the 'slap-in-the-face' she already gave the brave men and women who have wore a uniform and proudly served this country.

     Janet Napolitano must be FIRED... and it should have been done yesterday!

     You see, the problem is not just that Janet Napolitano's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) put together a so-called anti-terrorism security assessment that targets mainstream Americans as dangerous extremists.

     We're talking about millions of people who believe that our government is too large and taxes us too much, like those who participated in the TEA Parties on tax day. We are talking about everyday Americans who believe that the 2nd Amendment actually gives people the right to bear arms; people who are pro-life; the millions of people who believe that our nation's immigration laws should be strictly enforced.

     And the problem is not simply that this so-called security assessment targets patriotic Americans - and they are talking about YOU - as "right wing extremists," or, as Peter Kirsanow with the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights put it:

"That DHS report warning about all manner of 'right-wing extremists' could be considerably shortened if it simply alerted law-enforcement officials to be on the lookout for people from 'small towns (who are) bitter (and) cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment.'"

     The problem is that this is the same Janet Napolitano who just recently told us that horrendous, unspeakable acts committed by actual terrorists, dead set on destroying our country and killing Americans, should be called "man-caused disasters."

     Specifically she told Der Spiegel:

"In my speech, although I did not use the word 'terrorism,' I referred to 'man-caused' disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur."

     So... when it comes to actual acts or threats of terrorism against mainstream Americans, we should move beyond the "politics of fear."

     But patriotic Americans like YOU – who exercise your Constitutionally-protected First Amendment rights – pose a threat to the government.

     Is it actually possible that Napolitano and Barack Obama and even some within the Obama Administration are so twisted as to believe that Islamic Terrorists are the good guys and that you are the bad guys?

     Syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin in Thursday's Washington Times wrote:

"What and who exactly are President Obama's homeland security officials afraid of these days? If you are a member of an active conservative group that opposes abortion, favors strict immigration enforcement, lobbies to protect Second Amendment rights, protests big government, advocates federalism, or represents veterans who believe in any of the above, the answer is: You."

     If what is contained in this leaked DHS security assessment does not bring you to the realization that it is time for all patriotic Americans who love freedom to stand up and shout that we're not going to take it anymore... it is quite possible that nothing will.

So, here's what we're going to do. We're going to make it very clear that we want drastic action. We're going to make it very clear that Janet Napolitano needs to go. We're going to make it very clear that we want her FIRED - PERIOD... no resignations will be allowed... no meaningless apologies will be accepted.

     We're going to bang this issue like a gong.

     Let's get to work.

Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent and personalized Blast Fax messages to Barack Obama and each and every Member of the Leadership of the House and the Senate.

Tell them that the recently leaked DHS security assessment is so repulsive that rational, freedom-loving individuals are disgusted by it. Let Barack Obama know that there can be no middle ground. The only natural and acceptable reaction is to FIRE Janet Napolitano immediately.

Let Barack Obama and our elected officials know, in no uncertain terms, that ANY action other than the immediate termination of Janet Napolitano constitutes a clear admission that Obama, in fact, supports the chilling implications of this DHS monstrosity.

 


The DHS Report Targets All Of You Bitter People Out There Who Cling To Guns And Religion.

     Malkin is not alone. Syndicated radio talk-show host Michael Reagan went so far as to ask the following:

"Have we really come to this? Has Adolf Hitler's propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels been reborn and recruited by the Obama administration to scare the heck out of the American people with absurdities such as this whacked-out document?"

     Lance Fairchok writing for AmericanThinker.com hits the nail squarely on the head.

     Calling this so-called security assessment "a shot across the bow" he plainly states that DHS is NOT simply referring to individuals living on society's fringe.

     The assessment is, in fact, referring to YOU and patriotic Americans like you.

     Moreover, Fairchok believes this assessment was hastily and sloppily written in order to fit a sick and disgusting preconceived notion:

"This 'assessment' is not an analysis of a national trend or an examination of existing evidence or even recent radical literature; it is targeting those whose politics fall within the broad insinuations contained within its pages, namely mainstream conservatives."

     Judge Andrew Napolitano with FOX News essentially says the same thing:

"The summary contains few proper names, has no footnotes of any significance, lists very few sources, and is drafted with a prejudice against anyone who criticizes the role of the federal government in our lives today. It lumps together in its definition of 'rightwing extremism' hate groups, anti-government groups, and single issue groups 'such as opposition to abortion or immigration.'"

     Let's state it more plainly. As far as Janet Napolitano's DHS is concerned, if you are pro-life or believe in strict enforcement of our immigration laws, or if you attended one of those TEA parties, you're the same as a neo-Nazi, or a member of the KKK. You are dangerous and pose no less a threat than the real terrorists trying to destroy our great country. Is it possible that when Barack Obama spoke of bitter people from small towns who cling to God and their guns that he was not just simply being derisive?

     Is it possible that pointing out that Barack Obama sat in a Church for years listening to a lunatic pontificate, "Not God Bless America... God D___ America" WAS relevant after all?

     There's only one way to find out.

     There is no time to lose, we must act now.

Will Michigan fall further behind? Missouri passing Fair Tax

 
Michigan FairTax Association
 
Truth in Taxation
 
April 22, 2009

 
 
Below is a message that is being sent to all Michigan legislators and a press release being sent to all MI media today.  We must act immediately to build legislative and public support for the MI FairTax or we will become a "Me too" state to the "Show me" state.
 
Call your legislator and newspaper/radio/TV outlets today and get them on the ball.

For Immediate Release

Missouri Ahead in Race to Adopt State FairTax 


It appears that Missouri may beat Michigan in adopting a state FairTax.  In so doing they will benefit from having the most attractive business tax environment in America, rather than Michigan.  Michigan FairTax Director, Roger Buchholtz, lamented, "The early bird gets the worm.  Unless Michigan acts right away, businesses, rather than moving to a welcoming Michigan, will already have moved to a welcoming Missouri."
 
Once other states have attracted businesses and jobs to their states by eliminating businesses taxes Michigan have to do the same thing to compete?  Buchholtz added, "We must be first in offering a tax free business environment in order to maximize the benefits we will receive from eliminating the ruse of business taxes.  We can be first in creating the best business tax environment in the U.S. by adopting the MI FairTax... or we will end up being a "Me too" state to the "Show me" state."
 
The MI FairTax is a more stable revenue source than income and business taxes and raises the revenue in a way that removes state taxes and tax compliance costs from the prices of Michigan produced goods and services, thereby, making Michigan business and labor more competitive.
 
Below is a newspaper article announcing the progress of the Missouri FairTax in their Legislature.  In the few days since this article was published the Missouri House of Representatives passed by a 90 to 65 vote the Missouri FairTax bill (HJR-36) and it will now go to the MO Senate.  Buchholtz commented, "Ten Democrats joined Republicans and together they did the "right thing" by setting politics aside in the best interest of the people."
 

The unprecedented huge turnout at the Tax Day Tea Parties across Michigan last week would seem to indicate that the public is ready for real tax reform and the solution promised by the MI FairTax to Michigan's economic woes.  Buchholtz said, "It's time for our legislature and governor to listen to the people and place the MI FairTax on the 2010 ballot so citizens can vote on this issue.  Forcing citizens to collect signatures on petitions to place it on the ballot is a failure of leadership by our legislators."

Ninth Circuit handed down a very important opinion yesterday on the right to keep and bear arms.

Great ruling form the 9th! Note that the questions presented below are
answered in that despite the 2nd amendment speaking to the individual as a
Constitutional right not movable by any power, the fourteenth Amendment
extended the Bill of Rights to the People so they say. Imagine that being
said of the 10th amendment.

R. George Dunn


Subject: Federal Appeals Court : States and Localities are Bound by the
Second Amendment

The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit handed down a very
important opinion yesterday on the right to keep and bear arms.

If you're the type who enjoys reading lengthy federal appellate opinions (or
you're just a masochist,) here's the link:

http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov%2Fdatastore%2Fopinions%2F2009%2F04%2F20%2F0715763.pdf

Even if you're not particularly interested in wading through all the
legalese at the front end, I encourage you to jump to the historical
analysis starting on page 4484 and at least read through that--if for no
other reason to see the Ninth Circuit cite William Blackstone and Samuel
Adams. There's probably enough great stuff in there to make many left-wing
gun haters' heads explode on contact--so please be judicious in forwarding
it. ;-)

OK, so here's why the opinion in Nordyke is important:

1. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (in Heller v. D.C.) that the
Second Amendment protects an INDIVIDUAL RIGHT, which constrains the power of
the FEDERAL government.

2. The Heller opinion (properly) LEFT UNDECIDED, however, the question of
whether STATES and LOCAL GOVERNMENTS are ALSO bound by the Second Amendment
in the same way that the federal government is.

3. Prior cases had held that states and local governments ARE NOT bound by
the Second Amendment. (In legalese: unlike nearly all the other rights set
forth in the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment was not considered to be
"incorporated" by the Fourteenth Amendment.)

4. Thus, under the law as it was understood prior to Nordyke, a claim that
"State X infringed my Second Amendment rights" would have no power, as
"State X" was not understood to have any particular OBLIGATION to respect
Second Amendment rights.

5. The court in Nordyke was presented with an opportunity to revisit the
question of "incorporation" in the wake of Heller and other case law, and
elected to do so as follows:

"[T]he right to keep and bear arms is 'deeply rooted in this Nation's
history and tradition.' Colonial revolutionaries, the Founders, and a host
of commentators and lawmakers living during the first one hundred years of
the Republic all insisted on the fundamental nature of the right. It has
long been regarded as the 'true palladium of liberty.'...We are therefore
persuaded that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
incorporates the Second Amendment and APPLIES IT AGAINST THE STATES AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS."

Bottom line: yesterday was a very good day for the right to keep and bear
arms, and the plaintiffs and attorneys involved in bringing this case
deserve our sincere gratitude.

Grassroots TEA toters taking CNN sugar away

List of CNN advertisers

Posted: 21 Apr 2009 09:18 PM PDT

Some Tea Party friends have assembled a list of CNN advertisers.

There's a growing sentiment among our readers that it is important that CNN state in public that its reporter, Susan Roesgen, stepped over a journalistic line in her tirade on April 15.

CNN should offer an apology and so should Roesgen.

In addition to all the other Tea Party movement plans going forward–and I'm hearing about a lot of great plans–we need the national media to understand that if their coverage lacks basic journalistic integrity, they will be held to account. We want them to "get" this because it will reduce the amount of egregious, overblown bias that so many of them engaged in when covering the April 15 Tea Parties.

Roesgen was the worst. Both Roesgen and CNN need to apologize. If they don't, they need to hear from their advertisers.

When you contact CNN or a corporation that through its advertising budget is sponsoring the smear machine at CNN, please email me and let me know what you hear back.

Several of you have written and asked what you can do to support this effort.

Please start by going through the list of CNN advertisers here to get contact information and to find out if they are recipients of bailout money (your money). Please leave any information you find in the comments or send me an email at roxannekramer@gmail.com

There are a lot of you! And you know how to make your voices heard, don't you
