"Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists"
Seriously, I wanted to take the week-end off. Was planning to enjoy a respite from the relentless onslaught on our constitutional liberties coming out of Washington.
Then comes a call from the president's website, going out to his supporters to make phone calls to all U.S. Senators on Friday, September 11 to support the president's health-care agenda: "All 50 states are coordinating in this--as we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process. . ."
That's right--those Americans who have rallied, gone to town hall meetings, written letters, made phone calls to voice opposition to a government-run overhaul of their personal health care choices are being called by our president's website "Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists"!! The call to action is set for the day we commemorate the death of over 3000 Americans by real terrorists who flew planes into the twin towers. Language is being subverted to make people like myself and millions of other Americans who oppose a total government takeover of 1/6 of the American economy and their own say in their health-care decisions terrorists. This was not an off-hand remark or something said in an unguarded moment. It was consciously crafted and deliberately posted on the very website that bears our president's name.
We have already been labeled "un-American" by the Speaker of the House and likened to mobs, Nazis and Fascists by other Democrat officials. Now the president's own website is calling people who disagree with his plan and voice that oppostion to their elected representatives "terrorists."
I cannot overstate how grieved and outraged I am over this latest assault--and how fearful I have become of the agenda of this administration.
