You may have heard about a report issued by the Department of Homeland Security containing a warning to federal, state, and local law enforcement about the radicalization of “rightwing extremism”. Well, I just read the report and it is actually WORSE than what you’ve probably already heard.
Who are these rightwing extremists according to the April 2009 report? Well, according to Secretary of the Department Janet Napolitano and the Obama administration, you are a rightwing extremist if:
1) You reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority (p2)
2) You think the federal government might pass new restrictions on firearms (p2)
3) You are a returning military veteran facing reintegration challenges (p2) or are a veteran with combat skills and experience (p3)
4) You have recently bought a firearm or ammunition (p3)
5) You are concerned about the economy and recent government policies—in other words, you are concerned about big government spending like the TARP, the Stimulus Bill, and all the bailouts (p3)
6) You perceive there has been a loss of US jobs (p3)
7) You have different views than Barack Obama on the following:
a) You think the border should be secured and that illegal aliens should not be granted citizenship (p3)
b) You think we already spend enough on social programs (p3)
c) You are against further restrictions on firearms (p3)
8) You are against abortion (p4)
9) You are against same-sex marriage (p4)
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above statements, the Department of Homeland Security and Janet Napolitano think you are a rightwing extremist and may be a threat to this country. Absolutely unbelievable! But it gets even worse!
Do any of the following describe you?
10) You believe there are Biblical prophecies about the “end times” (p4)
11) You identify yourself as a Christian (p4)
12) You believe we are moving to a one world government (p6)
Yes, you read that correctly. Our Federal Government actually believes that you may be a “terrorist” if you identify yourself as a Christian! A TERRORIST for heaven’s sake!
Unbelievably, Secretary Janet Napolitano has refused to used the term “terrorist” in describing Islamic radicals who have are attacked our homeland, killed our troops, pirated our ships, kidnapped our citizens, and continue to pose a clear and present danger to the United States.
Yet, this report uses the word “terrorist” or “terrorism” some 18 times in 9 pages in referring to YOU! Even after the report surfaced in the press and many condemned the tone and implications, Napolitano stood by the report.
An April 16, 2009 Washington Times article stated: ‘Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday that she was briefed before the release of a controversial intelligence assessment and that she stands by the report.’
Personally, I answered ‘yes’ to 11 of the 12 items above (I haven’t served in the military). What does that make me? But I’m probably viewed as even more of a threat—I teach a Bible study on prophecy and the “end times” at my church!! I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. So I’m just going to pray. I suggest you do the same. (1 Tim 2:1-2)
And remember, the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of this world! (2 Cor 10:4). The “sword” we use is the Word of God (Eph 6:17). I hope your sword is sharp—training yourself to correctly handle the Word of Truth (2 Tim 2:15)! And putting on the Breastplate of Righteousness, the Helmut of Salvation, and the Shield of Faith! (Eph 6:16-17) Then you will be ready to be a good terrorist—err, umh, I’m mean a good soldier—for Christ!! (2 Tim 2:3)
God’s grace and peace to you, Jeff – your friendly “rightwing extremist”
Verse of the week..
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.(1 Timothy 2:1-2)
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ(Philippians 3:20)
