This would include anyone in the NRA or the Republican Party.

“persons who exhibit an undue suspicion of government as manifested in statements that evince an inordinate reverence for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, especially provisions protecting the rights to freedom of speech, bearing arms, and bars to so-called unreasonable search.”

They have GOT to be $h!tting us.

Those are the kind of words that will do nothing but foment revolution. Perhaps that is what they want.

Oh well. I guess I'll have to refrain from donning the ACUs until the shootin' starts.

I clicked on this to observe the responses.

Bin Laden’s dead...and”The Tea Party”, when elected, will defund them.

“..that evince an inordinate reverence for the Constitution ..”

who establishes what is the “inordinate reverence”?

[Manly Warrior]

Golly, from this language you’d think anyone in elected or appointed office, law enforcment or the military swore an oath to protect the governemnt.

However, not a one has ever done so, rather, we all swore oaths “to protect and defend the US Constitution (and perhaps state constitutions)from all enemies, foriegn and domestic....”

No mention of a “government” is there?

I’m sure the British authorities were doing the same prior to Lexington too.

In statement after statement, the Department shows that it is designed to suppress traditional American values, cultural norms & independent thought. Someone with time on their hands, would spend it well compiling a dossier on the various pronouncements, warnings, memos & directives of these bureaucrats, to demonstrate the very clear pattern that is now emerging.

We ignore this at our peril.

especially provisions protecting the rights to freedom of speech, bearing arms, and bars to so-called unreasonable search.”

From what friends in law enforcement tell me, every person who gets arrested suddenly becomes a fan of those parts of the constitution.

[chesley]

Write a book, John. Swift could take your correspondence course. Stop getting me!!

I mean, is this actually satire? Didn’t they do something like this already?

[free-in-nyc]

Almost got me this time! It’s hard to do satire these days, because real life keeps catching up - what was absurd yesterday is politically correct tomorrow! John, thanks for the post.

[WinMod70]

Any mention of a bounty?

[Charles Martel]

I’m not convinced that a “semi-satire” on this topic is even possible.

[PLMerite]

Thank you for the (satire) label. My blood pressure had already gone up a couple points by the time I got to the end of the title.
