NPR: ‘Patriots’ Are Dangerous to Our Government

Public supported National Public Radio (NPR) posted a report on March 17 during its "All Things Considered" radio show that warns its listeners that "patriot groups" are dangerous and are apparently increasingly prone to attacking government officials and facilities. Oddly the two examples it uses to prove its case have no ties whatsoever to any "patriot groups."

Headlined, "Hostility Against Federal Workers Troubles Officials," NPR blames "patriot groups" on these attacks and worries that "anti-government hate groups" are on the "upsurge." And what does NPR use to prove its case? Nothing but the say so the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center and a misconstruction of two recent attacks on government facilities by disturbed individuals.

NPR ominously begins its report with this...

Bush wasn’t sufficiently socialist.

[Sir Gawain]

Damn right we are.

“NPR: ‘Patriots’ Are Dangerous to Our Government”

Ok, true - but ‘Patriots’ are NOT dangerous to a CONSTITUTIONAL government.

[rbosque]

“Patriots” are dangerous to people who are bent on making the U.S. into a gulag state.

[precisionshootist]

NPR = Government Owned Media = Direct Threat to Liberty and the Bill Of Rights.

Put this on the list of things that need to go bye bye after we sweep the house and senate in Nov.

I actually want Pelosi to get reelected so that we can then proceed with impeachment. It should be a quick proceeding because we should just “DEEM” her guilty and move on to the sentencing phase.

All in favor say...

[struggle]

Hey NPR,

It’s only because we have read the constitution and understand what it means.

I certainly hope so now that we have a government which is trying to destroy the Country!

Patriots and Citizens arise!

[meyer]

NPR is the government.

How many million$ have they funneled to Garrison Keilor for his boring drivel?

Pray for America

A simple observation

When 47 percent disapprove of Obama and 46 percent approve and the disapproval rating is growing, this constitutes a majority.

So its not “tea party”, its not patriots, its not fringe groups or hate groups.... its America speaking.

[Oceander]

Well, they do have a point. We are about the only threat there is to the fascist dictatorship the liberals and DEEM-ocrats want to construct on top of the ashes of the Constitution. But for us, this country would be a socialist dystopia already.



By definition, only patriots are a threat to fascists and totalitarians who would seize power.

Here are some more real patriots who were considered to be, and in fact were, a deadly danger to the then-ruling government of the day:



God bless dangerous patriots.

This message brought to you by taxpayer supported NPR.

Translation: Patriots Are Dangerous to NPR.

[SkyDancer]

Therefore Tom Brady is a dangerous threat .....

I actually want Pelosi to get reelected so that we can then proceed with impeachment.

A congressperson cannot be impeached, only a member of the judicial or executive branches.

She can be expelled by a vote of 2/3 of her chamber, of course.

[LibLieSlayer]

Those that work for npr will be prosecuted one day... if the Republic survives... which I fear it will not.

When the SHTF, NPR HQ should be high on the target list! So they can say "see, I told you so".

Unlike talk radio you can't just call and get on the air, you have to be screened.
You can e-mail but they screen them too.
Most shows are taped. Another screening tactic.
Now, that's government radio.

Patriots are essential for a free America. If they’re a danger to the current government, that’s more a reflection of the flaws with socialism than of any flaws with patriotic Americans. Our country is lucky to have them, whether or not the government we’re stuck with agrees.
