Riot Police and Snipers Called
Out to Defend Quincy, IL Convention Center Against Geriatric Tea Party
ProtestersThere continues to be a common theme developing with respect to the
reality that is the Tea Party movement and the opposition to it by this
Obama administration. The movement is mostly made up of conservative
Christians with a predominantly older demographic. The protests that
began taking place in April of 2009 have been extremely peaceful with
no arrests. Protests have continued all across America with untold
numbers of people participating.
The Tea Party protest outside
the Quincy, IL Community Center with Barack Obama inside was no
different – except for the S.W.A.T. Team that was called out to defend
the Community Center from being attacked by a rabid geriatric Tea Party
that sang, “God Bless America” on a nearby street corner. In addition
to riot police on the ground, there were snipers positioned on the roof
of the building.
John McTernan, founder of Defend and Proclaim
the Faith Ministries, sees a very disturbing trend taking place not
only via this administration's increasingly overt attempts to demonize
patriotic and Christian citizens but encourages more attention to be
paid to the leadership within the U.S. Military, which he says is also
taking on an anti-Christian tone.
As evidence of this, McTernan
points to a report done by a man named Major Brian L. Stuckert in May
of 2008 – link below. While that report was written several months
before Obama took office, McTernan says that its contents, which were
widely distributed within the military are cause for serious concern
during an administration that continues to polarize America - at least
in significant part – along Christian lines.
McTernan makes a
strong case that Stuckert's report singles out the “Christian Right”
and in no uncertain terms the beliefs of certain types of Chritians as
potentially leading to an attempt by some unnamed foreign adversaries
of the United States to polarize this nation by exploiting the beliefs
held by such Christians. The irony is that the polarization today is
not coming from any foreign adversary. It is coming largely from the
Executive Branch of the United States government.
Making news
recently was the Pentagon's turning away of Christian evangelist
Franklin Graham from the National Day of Prayer for his comments about
Islam. Meanwhile, representatives from extremely questionable and
suspect Islamic groups – Islamic Society of North America – are
counseling U.S. Troops in the name of diversity; Louay Safi held such a
position at Fort Hood AFTER the attack by Major Nidal Malik Hasan.
On
the 2008 campaign trail, Barack Obama called for a “Civilian National
Security Force” that would be “just as strong, just as powerful, (and)
just as well funded” as the U.S. Military. He has yet to clarify
exactly what that meant. That lack of an explanation coupled with the
continued polarization of America along Christian conservative lines
has many seeking that clarity. If the U.S. Military is undergoing such
a transformation that started before Barack Obama took office, how
accepting would such a movement be to those ideas under the
administration of a president who shares similar views?
