A Disconcerting Confluence of Events

It's been a week since the jackboot of Demokrat totalitarianism finally forced itself completely through the front door of our erstwhile Constitutional abode, and while we wrestle for the latch chain Obama's dementors seek to fog our minds with lurid tales of racist Tea Partier malevolence.

A Troubling Inconsistency

Never mind the fact that whether it's Black Panthers seeking to intimidate white voters, or Harry Reid's brownshirts acting up in Searchlight just this last weekend, decades of documentation show violence and thuggery to be almost exclusively attributes of the left, and while leftist duplicity is no surprise to most right thinking individuals, what's really worrying to me is today's news that there have been several raids of Christian militia groups across the mid-west this weekend by FBI, ATF, The Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Coincidence? Maybe so, but why is Homeland security and the Joint Terrorism Task Force involved when there are some 35 Islamist training camps operating with impunity inside our borders, and have been for years? Security researcher Ryan Mauro was asked in a Front Page Magazine interview last year

"FP: Why doesn’t the government shut down these compounds?
Mauro: There are a few reasons. The first is that Jamaat ul-Fuqra is not designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the State Department, and the second is that the law enforcement authorities do not have the tools they need to search these compounds yet. Right now, members involved in terrorist and criminal activity are being treated as if they are isolated incidents; rogue followers of an otherwise innocent cult."

Jamaat ul-Fuqra is not designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, but Hutaree is? Moreover, the tools to search such compounds seemed to be abundantly in evidence this weekend.

Here's more on those Islamist Camps.
