In some ways, we are in a societal situation analogous to that near the beginning of the Clinton administration when it began an overzealous campaign against militia groups and revoked the Posse Comitatus Act, employing military hardware against civilians in actions that resulted in the deaths of nearly a hundred men, women and children at the Branch Davidian compound at Waco.
The Clinton Administration's actions at Waco was a primary inciting cause for Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City two years later.
Now, it seems Democrats have forgotten the lessons of history and are once again lunging at the leash to make martyrs of what they please to regard as extremists. The signs are there with the MSM and the 0bama Administration actively working to stereotype and marginalize entire classes of society who share little except a willingness to publicly dissent from aspects of the Federal Government with which they disagree.
The responsible course for the MSM and the Federal Government is clear: put away the pitchforks and torches and do nothing to inflame the situation - cease all efforts to mischaracterize and marginalize the attitudes and beliefs of groups such as Tea Partiers and Militias forthwith. If such efforts continue, then it is reasonable to believe that those in power in Washington and the MSM outlets actually want to encourage and incite new incidents such as Waco and Oklahoma City for political reasons which would make the political forces behind such actions unworthy of their offices.
April Fools.
Most of them are in the White House, Congress, and the Senate.
Touche!!!!!!!!!!!
