I’ve got to tell you that I am upset with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano for her remarks that defined many of us as right-wing extremists and probable homeland terrorists. Several news sources say in her report, right-wing extremism was defined as hate-motivated groups and movements, such as hatred of certain religions, racial or ethnic groups. I can live with that, but the report also included in those hate-groups some veterans, people who support gun ownership, or those who have pro-life views. With all of the political turmoil the various leaders of the United States face in our fallen world today, to have this level a leader make such a statement is totally irresponsible and the administration should seek her immediate removal and replacement. I am not sure if she wrote this definition or if someone else wrote it, but we need to find out who is responsible. I will also concede that there are some organizations inside the US that need to be watched closely (Skinheads, the Arian Nation, etc), but to make that blanket statement about the citizens of this great nation, and about our veterans, is nothing less than prejudice rearing it’s ugly head. Almost as disturbing to me is that seven individuals who heard my prayer request on Sunday asked me what I was talking about.
Hey, Preacher! Were you disturbed because ONLY 7 asked you or because 7 had not heard about this?
ReplyDeleteBecause 7 had not heard the news about the report...I was surprised anyone asked me!
