No War on Jihadists But War on American Citizens?

In one day since posting the incredible site on that religion of peace, Islam, I have personally seen two disturbing news stories:

Three pastors were beheaded by Islamic extremists for refusing to convert to Islam.

Islamic extremists torched fifty homes and a church, murdering at least fourteen Christians in Pakistan.

But there is no war on terror nor any jihadists according to this administration.

However, there does appear to be a war on American citizens. Average Americans who are legitimately upset with Obama's health care plan and many of their Democrat representatives who support it, who just want to be heard by Congressmen they feel are ignoring their constituents, are called "angry mobs" and "rabid right-wing extremists" and there is talk about how "outside the mainstream" the Republican party is because a few protesters have used a Nazi SS symbol or swastika to show their opposition to Nazi style policies. Nancy Pelosi referred to "Astroturf protesters carrying swastikas". Interestingly, Pelosi's own constituents comparing former Pres. Bush to Hitler and using swastikas in place of the S in his name, are NOT outside the mainstream:

See the links in this article.

Now the president is urging you to snitch on your friends and family who forward emails to you that contain less than flattering comments about his proposed health care bill:

White House bashed for health care 'snitch' program
Senator says there's no precedent for citizens reporting 'fishy' comments


Additionally, after a report from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warning about "right-wing extremists" who could pose a danger to the country, there is this report on the National Guard recruiting for "internment specialists". National Guard and GoArmy websites detail this, but interestingly, it seems officials at state and federal levels of the National Guard know nothing about the program.

I can hear the screeching about loony conspiracists as I write this, but again, interestingly, there is this Canadian's take on this subject from an editorial at Canada Free Press, that includes this alarming line:

Let's look at some of the evidence we have of the U.S. government's intentions to establish the infrastructure that could be used to house large numbers of political dissidents, so-called terrorists and other individuals the U.S. government wants locked up.

And of course, there's a war on the really bad guys, those who sought to protect American lives by using certain interrogation techniques on prisoners accused of terror acts:

Official: Holder to investigate Gitmo interrogations
Criminal investigation into CIA treatment of detainees expected


Don't you feel comforted in knowing this administration is fighting the right battles to protect you and your loved ones?
