Huge police presence at Saddleback Church today
Self | 1/18/2009 | Self

Posted on 01/18/2009 1:54:54 PM PST by SoCal Pubbie

I don't often post vanities but since this is an eyewitness account I thought I'd go ahead.

On my way to In-N-Out in Foothill Ranch a little while ago I noticed a HUGE police presence at Saddleback Church today. One or two squad cars at each entrance, more cars patrolling Portola Parkway and El Toro Road, a mobile command post, equestrian units, and a dozen or more motorcycle units. I'd say at least 20 to 30 police in all. Maybe more as I was not on the campus itself and there may have been others closer to the services.

There was a big protest along the Portola entrance, with plenty of signs and rainbow flags (Laguna Beach must be a ghost town today!). Protesters crossed the street to and from the Arco Station holding signs and flags. Not the first time I've seen all that but never so many cops before. I have to guess that with warren involved with the inauguration that either the whole thing is getting the Homeland Security treatment or the cops got a specific threat against Warren.

And while that may be true... it’s also very true that the pro-homo groups act violently in pushing their agendas. I would say that they are the main culprits here...

No one on here wants anything bad (like an assasination) to happen to Obama. I just think we need to be careful what we take from people’s posts and not assume that because they say they ‘want to stop Obama’..that they mean something sinister.

So I had a severe tinfoil hat moment the other day, where I was thinking that if something were to happen to Obama, it would probably come from the Left. Think about this: the communist playbook for taking over a country is to destabilize it, cause civil war, and then reclaim the wreckage. In our case, if a bunch of globalist commies like George Soros wanted to make that happen in the US, they could prop up their candidate, use their fellow travelers in the media to cover for him and make him "hip" and "cool" and popular, get him into office, and then assassinate him. Having him be the first black president is a key element of this scheme, because the Left has been stirring up racial hatred in this country for decades, and such a thing happening to Obama would guarantee a civil war of the nastiest kind, and everyone would automatically blame the Right. All the idiots who voted for Obama would gladly follow whomever pledged to take revenge on the Right.

Pretty far-fetched, eh? Or is it?

Don’t have Emerson’s book yet, but have a mini collection of books on fighting Al Qaeda by some leading experts in the battle. I like Kenneth Timmerman’s ‘Preachers of Hate’ and ‘Shadow Warriors’. Here is a partial list if you are interested:

Oriana Fallaci: ‘The Force of Reason’

Jed Babbin: ‘In The Words Of Our Enemies’

Norman Pohoretz: ‘World War IV’

David Horowitz: ‘Unholy Alliance’

Paul Sperry: ‘Infiltration’

Thanks to our brave military and President Bush, my interest in the topic is not as pressing as it once was.... we are safer now because of their sacrifice and service. It won’t be long though until every enemy of the US starts saber rattling our new ‘lame on terror’ President. They have already started, according to some of the recent press coming from Iran, North Korea, Russia and others.

“I would say that they are the main culprits here...”

If you are referring to the police presence at Saddleback, then that would appear to be correct.

My post was a response to a question that I interpreted to refer to threats against Obama. I certainly don’t see the homosexual mafia as being a threat to Obama. Who elese do they have? No one is more left than Obama. They would never be so dumb as to threaten him.

Maybe they were just expecting a big collection.

Okay, and thanks...

A few names to add to that... Nonie Darwish, Brigitte Gabriel, Walid Shoebat — all having direct experience with Muslims, some being former Muslims and one a former terrorists in Israel (no longer, though...).

The above do have websites and books and videos (on the net, plus radio interviews and so on). I could do some searches, but I figure you can, too... :-)

I would not put anything past the communists and marxists. Another thing that many people don’t realize is the unholy alliance between skinheads and Islamists these days. While the press would love to pin a crazy skinhead on the conservative right side of the spectrum...many of them are nothing more than jew and black hating racists in sympathy with Islamists around the world.

So no...I don’t think you are crazy or a tin foil hatter to think such things. Russia/China have been waging a proxy war against us for decades through Iran,Syria, North Korea and Venezuela..to name just a few.

According to polling data on the passage of prop 8, neither do the blacks...they supported prop 8 by 70%+ margine!

Thanks..I already know of them and have read some of their stuff. I pray, for the sake of our country, that Obama does not drop the ball on the Islamist threat. But he has already signaled to the world, that he will do just that.

True enough, but black people are not going to be the controlling demographic in CA. Mexicans are. And, unfortunately, Mexicans don't appear to like black people, either.

Agreed, just adding a little known fact to back you up.

The angry gays are protesting churches and ignoring the fact that minorities hate them more.

I read Free Republic everyday and have not seen ANY threats to Obama! NONE!

Not ON FreeRepublic, but as Star Traveler didn't relate, there are other folks around the world who have issued at the very least veiled threats -- though maybe not personally, still in BHO's position I'd not take excessive chances.

Technically Dick's is a chain too, Cap Hill and Wallingford ("Gateway to Ballard").

We don't have one in Redmond anyway.

I think you can expect great things from the current pope. He almost makes me want to cross over.

Yup, the crosswalk in the pic is the one I referred to in my post. Wow, 100 cops, I was off by a factor of three!
