Guilt by Association: All Americans Could be in Trouble

While I participated in and listened to Lou Dobbs Radio show today a report was delivered to him supposedly written by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declaring in her opinion that all people who are associated with in any way are strong candidates as terrorists. The list in short version, if you believe you have any rights to say something contrary to the government’s proclamations, the right to protect yourself, or even to have the right to have any rights other than those apparently the government says you may have you are considered dangerous.

My grandfather served in the Navy, I had two uncles that served in the Air Force, I have friends in the military even now that have fought and are still fighting for this country! They have not then, nor do they now fight for our freedom to have any government tell us, the people, we have no rights to practice our faith and beliefs. So long as we don’t do something illegal our right to practice our faith and beliefs are ours. I have some very responsible gun owning friends and family members but because they believe in the right to own a gun they and I are criminals?

I had friends that were Gay and Lesbians, but that doesn’t make me one! I’ve known people on drugs and for many years people had been trying to say I was one of them, but I’m not and never had been; just because you are family doesn’t make you like them either. Just because you know people doesn’t make you guilty of the same offenses. How many of you who are reading this have been under close scrutiny, and or falsely accused of something, just because you are related to or acquainted with someone else?

Not all people that own a gun is out to get poor Ms. Napolitano or any one else. Does she think she has been the only person wronged in this world? My message to Janet Napolitano is to buckle up honey and ride the rollercoaster of life like the rest of us have to, and stop putting everyone into nice neat little packages because we are all different; most of us don’t fit into your little packaged groupies!

My suggestion to every one else reading this article, call and or write and or E-Mail your congressmen, statesmen, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano at the Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 (202) 282-8495 and any other person in government and very politely demand an apology from the woman who must have had a very bad day to come against the entire people of the United States of America, to which she owes her career to.
